the other thing i can't do anything about is my appearance i know it was a big shock
36
542930
7540

a warning but yes my beard is no more my beard has gone i did explain why i decided to shave
38
556760

20:42
when mr steve joins us live on the stream yes i did get mr steve another gift as well
122
1242730
8630
20:51
i gave it to him the next day this morning well of course if you know my routine very
123
1251360
6240
20:57
well you will know that i always feel excited around about this time so this morning i was
124
1257600
10350
21:07
waiting in front of the clock waiting for that magic moment when 11 o'clock would arrive
125
1267950
8699
21:16
and as you know what what do i do at 11 o'clock i have a cup of coffee and every day i always
126
1276649
8191
21:24
wait very patiently for 11 o'clock to arrive because i know as soon as 11 o'clock arrives
127
1284840
8920
21:33
as soon as that clock goes past 11 o'clock i know that i can make a cup of coffee so
128
1293760
10080
21:43
there you can see me very patiently waiting in front of the clock waiting for 11 o'clock
129
1303840
5600
21:49
to arrive so i can have my cup of coffee what about you when do you have your morning drink
130
1309440
9390
21:58
to be honest with you i don't think i would be able to survive i think i would fall asleep
131
1318830
6400
22:05
if i didn't have my cup of coffee at 11 o'clock in the morning so there it was that was actually
132
1325230
8540
22:13
me waiting for my coffee break this morning so what about you when do you have your coffee
133
1333770
6450
22:20
break do you normally have a break in the morning maybe you work in an office or maybe
134
1340220
6220
22:26
you are working at home at the moment so when do you normally have your morning drink or
135
1346440
6670
22:33
your morning break i have mine at 11 o'clock and i always make mr steve a cup of coffee
136
1353110
7500
22:40
as well because he loves it he loves his coffee also abdul says i always have a cappuccino
137
1360610
8730
22:49
mmm yes i like to make my own cappuccino i do i have my special little device that i
138
1369340
8390
22:57
use to make my cappuccinos with i do tatiana can i just say there is no chance that mr
139
1377730
11370
23:09
steve is going to grow a beard i can tell you now there is no way steve is going to
140
1389100
6380
23:15
grow a beard i think so parisa says i wonder what your hat will look like at the end of
141
1395480
7480
23:22
the month
142
1402960
1270
23:24
well i think my hat will be very heavy and perhaps i won't be able to lift my head up
143
1404230
6449
23:30
because of the weight of all the smiley faces i think so
144
1410679
8720
23:39
i don't think mr steve will do it alfian you are right mr steve is not going to grow a
145
1419399
6541
23:45
beard he doesn't like them he didn't like it when i had mine he says don't do it please
146
1425940
7020
23:52
now i think one of the reasons why mr steve doesn't like me having a beard is because
147
1432960
5390
23:58
his dad had a beard you see so maybe there's something there i'm not sure perhaps we will
148
1438350
7569
24:05
ask him on sunday sam hello sam rainbow you are really patient if you can wait till 11
149
1445919
9031
24:14
o'clock to drink your coffee i know people who can't wait for so long well normally in
150
1454950
6560
24:21
the morning when i first wake up so i normally wake up at around about eight eight fifteen
151
1461510
8019
24:29
and then i have a cup of tea and mr steve has a cup of tea as well he has his porridge
152
1469529
7041
24:36
and a little bit later of course at around about 11 o'clock we will have a cup of coffee
153
1476570
10010
24:46
we love your beret mr duncan did you buy it in paris yes christina you are right i did
154
1486580
7670
24:54
i did buy my beret in paris yes when i was there 2019 was when i went to paris with mr
155
1494250
12330
25:06

hours who remembers that i was actually standing on a street corner in paris with all of the
174
1651730
6669
27:38
traffic and the people going by and i actually stood there for three hours talking the other
175
1658399
7311
27:45
thing i remember

1665710

177
1668960
7160
27:56
were lots of armed guards with guns standing there which i don't know why i was a little
178
1676120
8960
28:05
bit worried i wasn't sure what was going on it's not very often that you come down for
179
1685080
5219
28:10
breakfast and you find lots of armed guards waiting for you but they were policemen and
180
1690299

28:16
they had very big weapons

190
1763400
11269
29:34
you like to sleep i do so when you sleep at night how many hours of sleep do you have
191
1774669
7901
29:42
how many hours do you normally have of sleep they say that you should have around seven
192
1782570
8550
29:51
or maybe eight hours of sleep every night so apparently to stay healthy you need to
193
1791120
7420
29:58
have around eight hours of sleep every night shall we play spot the white van because we
194
1798540
9820
30:08
haven't done it we didn't do it yesterday either because i was in the garden so now
195
1808360
4810
30:13
it's raining i've just i've just noticed it's actually raining outside now
196
1813170
7330
30:20
so we will try to see if we can see a white van i can't believe the weather this morning
197
1820500
8960
30:29
was so lovely outside we had lovely weather outside but but now the rain is coming down
198
1829460
8870
30:38
i'm not sure what that was was it a bus oh there it is look at that well that was quick
199
1838330
5959
30:44
that might be the quickest spot the white van oh there's another white van so that's
200
1844289
6801
30:51
two white vans oh that's pretty good
201
1851090
4880
30:55
that was very quick we didn't have to wait very long there and i think there is another
202
1855970
4810
31:00
white van going past in the distance and there is another white van oh my goodness so as
203
1860780
6729
31:07
you can see there are lots of white vans driving around on the road today i think we can safely
204
1867509
6391
31:13
say we can say that we have definitely spotted today's white van
205
1873900
15899
31:29
despite the fact that the rain is pouring down we have seen well i think we saw about
206
1889799
6831
31:36
five five white vans there that was amazing hello to oh belarus sirius here hello belarusia
207
1896630
11419
31:48
nice to see you here today i love sleeping too much normally 10 hours yes that is a very
208
1908049
7610
31:55
long time that's a long time to sleep now i always get very confused when it when people
209
1915659
5480
32:01
talk about sleep because some people say that you need seven or eight hours some people
210
1921139
5961
32:07
like to sleep much longer than that some people only sleep for maybe two or three hours i
211
1927100
10909
32:18
don't think i could do that my body would not be able to stand it so your brain does
212
1938009
5701
32:23
need sleep so that's one of the main reasons why we do sleep it's actually to help your
213
1943710
5350
32:29
brain because your brain needs to rest for so many hours during the day and your body
214
1949060
8680
32:37
becomes tired lots of things need to happen you you need to go into a state where your
215
1957740
5559
32:43
body is completely rested it also gives your brain a chance to shut down so when you go
216
1963299
6490
32:49
to sleep what actually happens is parts of your brain in fact most parts of your brain
217
1969789
6501
32:56
actually switch off they shut down it's a little bit like closing your computer or putting
218
1976290
7420
33:03
your complete computer into sleep mode so if you do that it's a bit like your brain
219
1983710
5980
33:09
so that's what happens at night your brain literally switches off and the only parts
220
1989690
6040
33:15
of your brain that are still working are the ones that control your breathing and your
221
1995730
5250
33:20
heartbeat and your digestion all of that carries on working but everything else
222
2000980
9150
33:30
switches off oh it's raining
223
2010130
5100
33:35
i've just noticed that it is raining very heavily so yes we only need well apparently
224
2015230
5949
33:41
we do need seven or eight hours but some people can get by with just maybe two or three i
225
2021179
7250
33:48
think it was margaret thatcher wasn't it mrs thatcher who famously said that she only sleeps
226
2028429
8921
33:57
for maybe two or three hours every night apparently albert einstein also didn't sleep much oh
227
2037350
9809
34:07
okay then well that might be it that might be the reason why my brain doesn't work as
228
2047159
5191
34:12
well as it should maybe i maybe i'm having too much sleep maybe i'm sleeping for too
229
2052350
5819
34:18
long
230
2058169
5571
34:23
hailey quang says my sleeping time is often oh twice so sometimes at midday and also at
231
2063740
8939
34:32
night as well yes i remember when i was living in china i noticed that during the day many
232
2072679
8220
34:40
people went to sleep normally after lunch time so people would have their lunch and
233
2080899
5740
34:46
then they would literally go to bed normally for an hour or maybe one and a half hours
234
2086639
8270
34:54
but the thing was
235
2094909
3930
34:58
everyone would go to sleep everyone so if you went shopping after lunch you would find
236
2098839
9221
35:08
that most of the people in the supermarkets were actually asleep people would just go
237
2108060
5750
35:13
to sleep i remember going to a bed shop because i was buying a new bed because my bed was
238
2113810
6759
35:20
old and it's broken because it was someone else's so i decided to buy a new bed and i
239
2120569
7321
35:27
went to a shop that sold beds and i was rather surprised to find most of the sales staff
240
2127890
9580
35:37
asleep on the beds that they were selling so not only were they selling the beds in
241
2137470
6100
35:43
the shop they were actually using them for their afternoon nap as well so one of the
242
2143570
7200
35:50
memories of my time in china must be seeing everyone asleep and it happened every day
243
2150770
7670
35:58
normally between maybe 12 30 and 1 30 or maybe between 12 and 2 you would often find people
244
2158440
12240
36:10
asleep in all sorts of places so that is one of the memories i i remember quite often from
245
2170680
8960
36:19
my time in china oh my goodness what's happening outside the weather has gone really bad by
246
2179640
7010
36:26
the way look at the weather now it's raining it was so nice this morning the weather was
247
2186650
5390
36:32
lovely this morning why is it raining now it's not fair well all i can say is i'm very
248
2192040
6710
36:38
glad that i didn't go outside to do my live stream very pleased indeed
249
2198750
8069
36:46
so we are looking at the subject of sleep
250
2206819
5621
36:52
apparently sleeping is mother nature's best effort yet immortality sergeya hello sergio
251
2212440
11420
37:03
nice to see you here today wow the rain is really coming down heavily i'm i'm very pleased
252
2223860
9979
37:13
that i didn't go outside sam rainbow says i usually try to sleep at an acceptable time
253
2233839
8561
37:22
but then i look at the time and it's like 2 or 3 a.m but it's the thought that counts
254
2242400
6410
37:28
i guess you are the same as me quite often steve will say i i need to sleep tonight very
255
2248810
8220
37:37
early 10 o'clock but we know we we never ever ever go to bed early even if we say we are
256
2257030
11269
37:48
i can stay up all night sometimes i can literally stay up i can look at the computer i can play
257
2268299
6701
37:55
around on the computer i can watch silly youtube videos or maybe i can watch a good film on
258
2275000
5800
38:00
tv until the early hours of the morning the only problem is the next day i feel terrible
259
2280800
7100
38:07
so if you don't have enough sleep the night before the next day you feel absolutely wrecked
260
2287900
8359
38:16
you feel completely drained so i don't like to make a habit of going to bed late although
261
2296259
9330
38:25
sometimes it is very tempting especially when there is something that distracts you but
262
2305589
7291
38:32
of course as you get older i think as you get older you need more sleep i think you
263
2312880
4390
38:37
do i think as as you as your age progresses i do think that you sleep more and more
264
2317270
10739
38:48
so the the subject today is sleep so let's have a look at one or two words connected
265
2328009
6520
38:54
to that subject oh mr duncan we can see what you are doing now so there are many ways of
266
2334529
9060
39:03
expressing sleep you can even you might not know this but you can even write the the sound
267
2343589
8831
39:12
of someone sleeping and this is what it looks like so when you write down the actual sound
268
2352420
10250
39:22
that a person makes whilst sleeping this is what it looks like it looks like
269
2362670
5149
39:27
this
270
2367819
8250
39:36
we often say
271
2376069
3230
39:39
so you will go to sleep you will have some zeds and that is how you write down the sound
272
2379299
11810
39:51
of someone sleeping which is a little strange i know to some people that might look weird
273
2391109
7791
39:58
but if you want to write down the sound of a person sleeping that is what it looks like
274
2398900
7589
40:06
to slumber oh yes to sleep to slumber if you slumber it means you are rested you are asleep
275
2406489
12600
40:19
you are inactive so you slumber your slumber is your sleep so to slumber is to sleep it
276
2419089
13391
40:32
is to rest it is to relieve your body of all of the stresses and strains by taking asleep
277
2432480
11629
40:44
you have a sleep you slumber i like this one i like this word here's another word you might
278
2444109
8081
40:52
say that you grab some sleep maybe you you only have a short time in which to sleep so
279
2452190
7500
40:59
sometimes you have to grab sleep you have to grab some sleep it means that you have
280
2459690
7129
41:06
to find the opportunity to sleep you grab some sleep not literally so quite often we
281
2466819
9790
41:16
use the word grab figuratively so when we say grab some sleep it means you are trying
282
2476609
7650
41:24
to get some sleep maybe you only have a short amount of time maybe you have to go to work
283
2484259
6770
41:31
in an hour so you grab some sleep
284
2491029
6471
41:37
here's another one oh now this is what i mentioned earlier about china a lot of people around
285
2497500
8819
41:46
the world like to take a nap i like that word so when we say nap a nap is normally a short
286
2506319
11520
41:57
sleep so maybe you only sleep for around 20 minutes maybe you only sleep for an hour you
287
2517839
7551
42:05
have a nap quite often during the day you might go and have a lie down on the bed you
288
2525390
8530
42:13
take a nap i like that word nap a short sleep we often think of babies having naps so maybe
289
2533920
12710
42:26
a baby in the afternoon after it has spent the whole morning screaming and crying it
290
2546630
9940
42:36
will take a nap so we often think of babies young children having a nap i like it siesta
291
2556570
12459
42:49
yes oh that's a good word yes so you might say nap you can also say siesta so if you
292
2569029
6790
42:55
take a short sleep during the day for maybe an hour or two you take a nap and quite often
293
2575819
9621
43:05
they will describe this as siesta you take a nap
294
2585440
6319
43:11
you might catch some shut eye so this particular word or phrase shut eye is another way of
295
2591759
9980
43:21
saying sleep you catch some shut eye shut eye means sleep it is an informal way of describing
296
2601739
12600
43:34
sleep shut eye because your eyes are shut you might get your head down if you get your
297
2614339
14291
43:48
head down it means you are lying flat on the bed you get your head down you are going to
298
2628630
7390
43:56
take a nap you are going to have a sleep shut eye mean sleep shut eye so it is an informal
299
2636020
11500
44:07
way of saying sleep if you get your head down it means you are lying flat on the bed taking
300
2647520
10839
44:18
a nap oh i like this one here is another expression we can use if you go to bed we can say that
301
2658359
8351
44:26
you hit the hay you hit the hay i hit the hay i go to bed i fall asleep it's time to
302
2666710
11730
44:38
hit the hay i like that one i might use that today i might use it after my live stream
303
2678440
9120
44:47
i might go and hit the hay i like it
304
2687560
9170
44:56
snooze oh yes i like this word you can see that i like this word so much because it's
305
2696730
7819
45:04
extra large snooze quite often you will have a little snooze in the morning so when you
306
2704549
8770
45:13
wake up perhaps you have your alarm clock next to the bed
307
2713319
13661
45:26
you will hit the snooze button and then you can sleep for a little bit longer so if you
308
2726980
7250
45:34
sleep it means you are having not a deep sleep not a heavy sleep you were just lying there
309
2734230
8549
45:42
and you are enjoying those extra few minutes in bed you snooze
310
2742779
10290
45:53
and then of course 10 minutes later
311
2753069
11520
46:04
the alarm goes off and you hit the snooze button again
312
2764589
7150
46:11
so i like that snooze so quite often snooze means to sleep lightly you have a light sleep
313
2771739
9741
46:21
quite often after waking up in the morning you will snooze because you don't want to
314
2781480
5480
46:26
get up i know that feeling very well here's another one oh what does that say oh 40 40
315
2786960
10750
46:37
winks okay then you take 40 winks 40 winks so this is another way of saying sleep you
316
2797710
10420
46:48
take 40 winks you go for a sleep you lie down you take 40 winks it is a way of expressing
317
2808130
11080
46:59
sleep time you are taking 40 winks you are going to bed here is the action of actually
318
2819210

they go to sleep we can say that they drop off if you drop off it means you fall asleep
320
2838600
9210
47:27
it is a way of expressing the action or the occurrence of falling asleep you drop off
321
2847810
10000
47:37
perhaps when you go to bed it might take a very long time for you to drop off it means
322
2857810
7080
47:44
it took a long time for you to actually fall asleep it took so long i could not drop off
323
2864890
9389
47:54
last night it took a very long time for me to drop off so when you drop off it means

331
2939230
6609
49:05
at the end of the day you really need to sleep it is the desire it is the feeling that you

51:03
hello ngo nice to see you here today alessandro i have heard many stories about sleepwalkers
345
3063609
8431
51:12
hmm yes have you ever sleep walked
346
3072040
7110
51:19
have you ever woken up in a very strange place and you don't know how you got there sleepwalk
347
3079150
7569
51:26
so i'm not sure if it's a real thing i'm still not sure if you can sleepwalk i think you
348
3086719
5191
51:31
can get up in the night maybe you need to go for a wee wee in the night or maybe you
349
3091910
5120
51:37
need to get a drink of water so i think you can get up in the night but you are still
350
3097030
5229
51:42
half asleep so you are only semi-conscious so you can go to the toilet
351
3102259
8790
51:51
if you wake up the next morning with with one of your one of your socks wet you will
352
3111049
9351
52:00
know why perhaps you get a drink of water so you you remember doing it but you were
353
3120400
7859
52:08
only semi-conscious you were you were not fully awake hmm sleep walker a friend of mine
354
3128259
8641
52:16
was a sleepwalker says christina
355
3136900
5069
52:21
alfian says i am a little drowsy now me too just talking about this here's a good thing
356
3141969
8421
52:30
you can do if you want to really annoy your friend you can yawn yawn so quite often when
357
3150390
7630
52:38
a person feels tired they will hmm but the strange thing about that is if you see somebody
358
3158020
17540
52:55
yawn quite often you will yawn as well and i don't know why it happens but it does so
359
3175560
6799
53:02
if you see someone who is tired and you see them yawn
360
3182359
10021
53:12
hmm quite often you will yawn as well
361
3192380
12459
53:24
victoria says my mother is very annoyed when i
362
3204839
6380
53:31
when i yawn i think so especially when you make a loud noise you are lethargic oh i like
363
3211219
8271
53:39
this word by the way here is a nice word lethargic you are lethargic if you have very little
364
3219490
8079
53:47
energy left if you are running out of energy if you feel tired we can say that you feel
365
3227569
7460
53:55
lethargic you are lethargic the state of feeling exhausted or tired of something you feel lethargic
366
3235029
16661
54:11
lethargic
367
3251690
5480
54:17
yes yawning is very contagious i think so if you see what if you see someone yawn there
368
3257170
9649
54:26
is a good chance that you will yawn as well i think so
369
3266819
6980
54:33
you are lethargic you are sluggish oh here's another word so if you feel tired maybe you
370
3273799
7561
54:41
feel as if you have no energy perhaps you feel as if you want to stay in bed or maybe
371
3281360
6250
54:47
you feel as if you want to go back to bed you feel oh you feel sluggish you feel as
372
3287610
7950
54:55
if you have no energy you have no motivation you feel sluggish another one and i will be
373
3295560
10830
55:06
going in five minutes you need to lie down if you need to lie down we mean that you need
374
3306390
9800
55:16
to take a rest so sometimes you can have a rest without going to sleep you can rest on
375
3316190
5379
55:21
the bed you can rest in the chair but you don't have to go to sleep so sometimes if
376
3321569
7480
55:29
you have a lie down it doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to have a asleep
377
3329049
10770
55:39
i am being told off mr duncan we we can't stop yawning now because of you
378
3339819
11710
55:51
if you have a short sleep we describe it as a nap as i said earlier so the word nap means
379
3351529
9210
56:00
sleep you have a short sleep maybe 10 minutes maybe an hour you have a nap you take a nap
380
3360739
13411
56:14
on the bed quite often after you have eaten quite often if you eat food especially i remember
381
3374150
10250
56:24
well i always remember at christmas time whenever you have your christmas meal quite often afterwards
382
3384400
6459
56:30
you will feel very tired you will feel so sleepy after your christmas meal if you go
383
3390859
9931
56:40
to sleep very quickly we can say that you go out like a light you go out like a light
384
3400790
10549
56:51
so if you go out like a light it means you fall asleep very quickly some people are very
385
3411339
6321
56:57
lucky because they can fall asleep very quickly so they get in bed they lie down and then
386
3417660
9530
57:07
that's it they're asleep some very lucky people can sleep quickly they can go to sleep very
387
3427190
9069
57:16
fast you go out like a light so imagine switching off a light you switch the light off you switch
388
3436259
11171
57:27
yourself off like that you go out like a light
389
3447430
8210
57:35
we can say that you drop off quickly you drop off as i said earlier drop off means to become
390
3455640
6650
57:42
unconscious you drop off you fall asleep you are hmm you drop off you go to sleep
391
3462290
19489
58:01
when we talk about your state when you are sleeping we can say that you are unconscious
392
3481779
5391
58:07
so an unconscious person is a person who is sleeping a person that is asleep is unconscious
393
3487170
9259
58:16
so quite often when you sleep you are unaware of anything happening around you however if
394
3496429
8250
58:24
something does disturb your sleep if you are disturbed during your sleep it can be quite
395
3504679
6040
58:30
frightening it can really make you feel frightened or shocked so when you are asleep the state
396
3510719
10270
58:40
you are in is unconscious
397
3520989
5770
58:46
of course some people are not so lucky they find that they can't get to sleep they find
398
3526759
7460
58:54
that they they stay awake all night they just can't get to sleep and there are many reasons
399
3534219
6401
59:00
why a person might have difficulty sleeping maybe they have stress anxiety maybe they
400
3540620
6750
59:07
have something they are worried about maybe they are about to take an exam and perhaps
401
3547370
5489
59:12
they can't get to sleep maybe they have something on their mind that they keep thinking about
402
3552859
5041
59:17
insomnia is the word that names the condition of being unable to sleep and the person we
403
3557900
14529
59:32
will describe as an insomniac insomnia is the problem an insomniac is the person so
404
3572429
10171
59:42
this describes the person who has difficulty sleeping and this is the condition insomnia
405
3582600
9550
59:52
some people find it very easy to get to sleep some people find it very easy to drop off
406
3592150
10040
60:02
sometimes they fall asleep too often if they are in a situation where they feel relaxed
407
3602190
6759
60:08
their body will just close down it will shut down and we call this narcolepsy so a person
408
3608949
10491
60:19
who suffers with narcolepsy is a person who can't stop falling asleep they will fall asleep
409
3619440
7899
60:27
during moments of relaxation if they are in a quiet place or in a relaxed place with peaceful
410
3627339
10801
60:38
surroundings they will find it very hard to stay awake they have narcolepsy and it is
411
3638140
9579
60:47
it is not very nice by the way if you suffer with this because you might fall asleep in
412
3647719
7810
60:55
well very unfortunate times or and for unfortunate circumstances when you want to stay awake
413
3655529
7440
61:02
there are certain periods of time when you do not want to fall asleep and that is it
414
3662969
7031
61:10

420
3714109
5661
61:59
of difficulty they find it very hard to sleep and it can be a big problem and it can well

431
