A ten year old Pei Pei had a very busy Saturday. After breakfast, she went for a walk at a nearby park with her older brothers. After walking, she rented a bike and rode around the park for one hour. Then, she sat down to rest under a big shady tree.
After eating lunch at home, she took a short nap, then played a game of chess with her father. In the afternoon, she attended her cousin’s birthday party. She ate cake and ice cream, played parlor games and danced with the other guests.
For Pei Pei, it was a day of rest and recreation. Do you also have time for rest and recreation like Pei Pei?
There are times during the day when you need to rest. Rest is a short period of relaxation that the body needs after a tiring activity. It relieves the body and the mind of the feeling of tiredness.
You get tired when you work hard because the oxygen and food that give energy to your body are being used up. Thus, your body needs to slow down so that it can regain the energy it lost. The amount of time needed for you to rest depends on how much energy you spent on a particular activity. At school, you are given a few minutes to rest during recess. At home, you can rest by simply sitting down or lying around. You can also watch TV, listen to music, read a book or even sleep.
Sleep is an important form of rest. It prepares your body for the coming day. Your body also repairs itself when you are asleep. lack of sleep can affect your growth as well as your immune system which keeps you from getting sick.
