SCIENTISTS ON BIRD ISLAND
Bird Island is an important scientific research
centre. Every year lots of scientists visit the
island, but Melanie Szabo, a professor of zoology,
‘works there all year. Sven Olafsson, who is from
Bergen in Norway, also works on the island. He
studies seals and Melanie watches penguins. The
‘penguins come to the beaches on the north of the
island and Melanie often works there alone. Sven
never works alone — he always works with the
other scientists because the male seals are big and.
sometimes dangerous! Sven loves his job, but he
‘works very hard and he hardly ever has free time.
For Melanie, her favourite time is Saturday night.
One of the scientists usually makes a big dinner
for the group and they watch a movie together,
relax or play games.

When Chris Hadfield goes into space, he doesn'thave a

does two hours’ exercise. Life in space is very different
tolife on earth, Astronauts don't have showers like
people on earth do-they wash with a cloth, They don't
sleep in a bed- they sleep in special sleeping bags on
the walls. tis difficult to know the time because in
space the sun doesn't rise once a day -it rises once
every 45 minutes. I's hard work, but most astronauts,
love being in space. Chris says itis amazing and he
doesn't want to sleep. For him, every day in space is a
perfect day!

body clock
Many of us get enough sleep and food, but still feel
tired and hungry during the day. Perhaps this is
because we sleep or eat at the wrong times.
There is no perfect time to sleep because
everyone's body clock is different, but sleep expert
Dr Michael Howell says the best sleep is six hours
at night and two hours in the afternoon. The best
time to have your afternoon sleep is six hours
after you wake up, but this is not possible for most
people because they are at work.
Itis also useful to think about what time you
eat. It is important to eat breakfast two hours after
you wake up and dinner three hours before you go
tosleep.
Perhaps the most important thing to remember
is that ifyou listen to your own body clock, you
