“The early bird gets the worm” is a popular saying, but a sleepy bird isn’t going to catch many worms. While adults usually function1 well in the morning, the same can’t be said for many teenagers. It’s not necessarily their fault, though. Teenagers actually need more sleep 05
†
than adults, but their body tells them to stay up later. With this in mind,
some high schools in the UK and the US made their starting time later. Teachers reported that students performed better in class, and parents said that their teenagers’ mood2 improved. Another often-repeated belief is that your brain shuts down when 10
you sleep. However, the truth is that your brain remains 3 active, especially the parts of it responsible for learning and memory. In this †
case, the idiom4 “sleep on it” really makes scientific sense. Other animals’ brains are even more active than humans’ during sleep. For example, dolphins let half their brain sleep while the other half remains 15
awake. That would make it pretty difficult to sneaku up on a dolphin! While we’ve bustedu a lot of sleep myths, one belief remains true— everyone needs sleep. Quality sleep is essential5 to a healthy body and a sharp mind.

Now, when spring hits D.C., over 3,700 cherry trees on the grounds of the Washington Monumenth and in

West and East Potomac Parksh burst into bloom.3 Many are Yoshino flowering cherry trees（吉野櫻花樹）, which are known for the beautiful fragrance4 of their blossoms.

The celebration kicks off † with an opening ceremonyu featuring5 Western and Japanese performing artists and
