[30:59.69]Last Sunday morning, Murphy found a wallet while he was walking down the street.

[33:14.08]12)Why did the owner's son tell William to go away?
[33:21.74]13)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
[33:30.82]Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Then maybe this is for you.
[33:37.58]When you worry about needing sleep and toss and turn trying to find a comfortable position,
[33:45.18]you're probably only making matters worse. What happens when you do that, is that your heart rate actually increases, making it more difficult to relax.
[34:01.74]You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day?
[34:11.64]Do you get virtually no exercise, or do you exercise vigorously late in the day?
[34:19.63]Are you worried about sleep, or do you sleep late on weekends?
[34:26.00]Any or all of these factors might be leading to your insomnia by upsetting your body's natural rhythm.
[34:38.93]What should you do, then, on those sleepless nights? Don't bother with sleeping pills.
[34:46.42]They can actually cause worse insomnia later. The best thing to do is drink milk or eat cheese.
