6. | IW/GW. Project. Make a presentation giving advice on: " I can't sleep. What natural helpers can solve my problem? How can you help me?"

Last night I was fast asleep by 11 p.m., but I woke up again at 1 a.m. Even though I was exhausted when I went to bed, I was suddenly wide awake and it was impossible to get back to sleep again. So, I just lay there watching the clock change from three to four, to five without sleeping- it was very frustrating. That was a typical night for me. I’ve had insomnia for so long, I’m amazed that anyone else actually sleeps through the night. And when this goes on for too many nights, I feel really shattered. I’ve tried nearly everything to cure my insomnia-herbal teas, yoga, meditation-you name it, I’ve tried it, but with no effect yet. How can you help me? What can you advise me?

7. IW. Choose and write a paragraph on one of these problems.
