Conversation B
Taylor: Do you watch TV or use a
computer before bedtime?
James: Of course. Doesn’t everyone?
Taylor: No. The light from the TV or
computer can keep you awake.
James: I know that. I turn them off an
hour or two before I sleep.
Taylor: That’s good. And keep your
bedroom cool, dark and quiet.
You’ll sleep better.
James: Thanks. I’ll try that.
