Hello and welcome to Six Minute English, I'm Neil.
And I'm Rob.
He looked tired Rob.
Well, I didn't sleep well last night.
I was tossing and turning all night,
but I couldn't get to sleep.
Well, that's a coincidence.
As our topic today is in suffer from when they find it difficult to get to sleep when they go to bed.
Thankfully,
I don't really have insomnia, but every now and again, I find it difficult to get to sleep.
Well, keep listening and we might have some advice to help with that.
But first a question,
what is the record for the longest a human has gone without sleep?
Is it A about seven days,
B about nine days, or C about eleven days?
What do you think Rob?
All of those seem impossible, so I've got to go with a shortest about seven days.
Well, if you can stay awake long enough, I'll let you know at the end of the program.
