[24:59.86]and most favorable performance.
[25:02.60]In fact, nearly one third report sleeping
[25:05.33]less than seven hours each week night,
[26:07.85]though many adults
[26:09.04]say they try to sleep more on weekends.
[26:11.33]The poll shows both good news and bad news.
[26:14.83]The good news is that many Americans say
[26:17.02]they don't want to give up any more sleep
[26:19.10]in spite of their exciting lives.
[27:21.56]And they would sleep more
[27:22.77]if they were convinced it would contribute to
[27:24.95]their quality of life.
[27:26.37]The bad news
[27:27.33]is far too many adults still sacrifice sleep,
[27:30.94]which is an unhealthy way of life.
[28:33.30]Perhaps further study should be made to
[28:35.71]help them get rid of the terrible lifestyle.
[28:39.07]Now the passage will be read for the third time.
[28:42.79]Americans are suffering from a serious problem of sleeping less.
[28:47.60]They also cut back on leisure activities
[28:50.01]as they spend more time at work.
[28:52.41]A world that “never goes to sleep
[28:54.92]offers many diverse activities,
[28:57.22]but encourages unhealthy and sometimes
[28:59.96]anti-social lifestyles for America's adults.
[29:03.35]Instead of working to live,
[29:05.21]they are living to work,
[29:07.39]a shift that has had
[29:08.25]a deep impact on their personal lives.
