The amount of sleep we need depends on our age, gender and genetics. As we develop,
our bodies get into a cycle called the circadian rhythm, which is our daily activity cycle.
When it gets dark, the brain releases a chemical called melatonin, which makes us
drowsy. For babies, there is no set amount of sleep, as they are neither nocturnal nor
diurnal (if you are diurnal, you function best in the day; if you function best at night, you
are nocturnal). Babies usually sleep for 3 to 4 hours and then wake up, regardless of
whether its day or night. As the child gets older, it becomes accustomed to sleeping at
night. The average adult usually sleeps for 7 to 8 hours, although some people only sleep
for 5 hours and other people sleep for 10. What is really important is that you get a good
nights sleep.

 BASKETBALL, BORN FROM A CHALLENGE
Basketball started in 1891 in Springfield,
Massachusetts. James Naismith, a Physical Education
teacher, was asked to invent a new sport. The sport was
supposed to be played indoors during the winter when it was
cold outside. The many football and rugby players who
played their sport in autumn and spring had nothing to keep
them fit during the winter season. That's when he invented
basketball.
The first game was played in December 1891.
They used a soccer ball for the basketball
because it was just the right size they were
looking for. The first baskets were empty peach
baskets! He hung them 3 meters above the floor
in the gymnasium.
After the first game Naismith wrote the 13
rules of the game and published them in the
school newspaper. The sport immediately became
popular. Soon after that, high school and college
teams were playing basketball.
Today there are very famous professional teams throughout the USA and all
around the world. You have certainly heard of fantastic teams as the New York
Knicks or Chicago Bulls. You have probably seen great basketball players as well,
like Magic Johnson or Michael Jordan. No matter who is playing, basketball is one
of the most popular games in the world. Millions of people like watching this fast
