About Sleeping
Sleeping is necessary for the human body to function, and most people need at least 8 hours of sleep per night. Teenagers may need more sleep because their bodies are changing rapidly. Even a brief nap in the afternoon can be an enjoyable and helpful way to stay alert.
About Hours
An hour consists of sixty minutes. We measure out our days in hours; when we are having fun, an hour is short. While we are suffering, an hour is very very long. In the Middle Ages (the 5th century to the 15th century) Christian monks and artists created 'Books of Hours.' They contained prayers and psalms for each hour of the day. They were 'illuminated,' that is, their texts were illustrated in gold ink and brilliant colors. The Cloisters Museum in NYC has a wonderful collection of Books of Hours.
