In 2019, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece did a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. According to the survey, 24 percent said that they found it hard to have a good sleep. And based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed(诊断) with insomnia(失眠) and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia. Besides, 30.7 percent reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems. And 11.6 percent said they had a feeling of needing sleep during the day.
The main causes: leading to these problems are stress from school or work and a fast pace of life. Noise pollution and light pollution also cause poor-quality sleep. The survey's finding are worrying because large numbers of people can't sleep well at night.
Overall, the survey showed that poor-quality sleep influences many people. Some can't fall asleep and they often wake up in the middle of the night. If this happens for a long time, there is a possibility that sleepless people will get fatter and have a heart attack.

Chaka Salt Lake(茶卡盐湖)lies in Qinghai Province, China. It sits at an altitude(海拔)of about 3,100 meters and covers an area of about 105 square kilometers. It is rich in salt with a heavy salt bed close to the lake surface. That makes the lake a main source of salt in our country. When the weather is clear, the lake offers beautiful reflections(影像)of the blue sky.
That is why people call it "sky mirror".
Because of its wonderful views, the lake is seen as one of the "must-go" places in China.
The beautiful sunrise and sunset views are the most attractive. Every July, large numbers of visitors begin to crowd to (涌入)Chaka Salt Lake. And the situation usually lasts until the end of August. Because they just don't want to miss the best time to go there. It is believed that with the summer breeze (微风), breathing in the salty air is especially good for lungs (肺). If you want to go on a trip to the lake, the following tips may be helpful.
◆The salt in the lake can't be eaten directly.
◆Wear sunglasses and a hat because of the strong sunshine.
◆You can't stop taking photos, so you'd better take your camera with you.
◆ Prepare some medicine for the weak and the elderly so that they can deal with altitude sickness.
