  • I'm Alice.

  • And I'm Neil.

  • So, Neil, did you sleep well last night?

  • Er, yes, thanks.

  • Why do you ask?

  • Today, we're talking about how much sleep we need.

  • Ah, I like a good eight hours myself.

  • Ten at the weekend.

  • How about you?

  • No, I'm six is enough for me.

  • But did you know this?

  • Humans sleep around three hours less than other primates like chimps who sleep for about ten hours.

  • So you're a chimp, Neil.

  • At the weekends, at least.

  • Are you ready for the quiz question?

  • OK, I'll assume that means yes.

  • Right, what's another word for sleepwalking?
