One day a lazy sailor on his ship pretended to be ill. He lay on his bunk(铺) and groaned as if he were very sick. The captain came to see him and was very pleased to have a patient to look after.

Once more the captain looked in his medical books and told the "sick" man to have a rest.
The other sailors were very angry because they had more work to do. The patients had the best food and laughed at their friends when the captain was not looking. At last the mate (船长副手) decided to cure the "sick" men. He mixed up some soap, soot(烟灰) , glue(胶水) and other unpleasant things. Then he obtained permission from the captain to give his medicine to the "sick" men. When they tasted the medicine, they really did feel ill. It was so horrible that one of the patients jumped out of his bunk, ran up on deck and climbed the highest place on the ship. He did not want any more medicine.
The mate told both of the men that they must take the medicine every half an hour, night and day. This soon cured them. They both said they felt better and wanted to start work again. The captain realized that the men tried to deceive him so he made them work very hard for the rest of the voyage.

You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep.Dr.Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students.One group got their normal eight hours of sleep.The other group didn’t get the smallest amount of sleep — they stayed awake all night.The next day, Dr.Home tested the students.He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking.One of the questions was “How many uses can a cardboard box be put to?”
The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests.The tired students did poorly.
Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition.But Dr.Home tested creative thinking only.
As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the sleepy students if they did well.But even this encouragement wasn’t enough to help the students overcome their tiredness.They still did poorly.Dr.Home believes that the cerebral cortex — the part of the brain where thinking takes place — may get worn out during waking hours.Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight.Without any sleep, he emphasizes, “even if you concentrate harder, you cannot do better.”
This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airline pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.

So we decided to put a lot of pots and pans like that under the window. Then if a thief came in, the pots and pans would fall down and we would wake up. That's what we did. Anyway, we were asleep.
All of the sudden in the middle of the night, sure enough, I hear the pans crash.I sat up in bed. My heart was beating like anything. I could see that there was a man in a white robe standing up next to the bed. I tried to scream and I had laryngitis which means my voice wasn't working. And I was screaming in the local language for help. It was like "help help", but I couldn't scream.
So the man came over and he shoved me down on the bed. Then he says in English "be quiet." Then I realized it was my husband, huh… And when I was able to speak, I asked, "What are you doing"
