Book page 97 Updated on2026-09-19

Q1.
Think about a day when you exercised or played a lot. What do you think would happen if you did not sleep well after that?
Answer

The tiredness of that day would stay in the body. You would feel it the next day.

  • You would wake up tired and sleepy.
  • Your arms and legs would still ache.
  • It would be difficult to focus on work or play.
  • You would feel irritable, and small things would upset you.
Why: A good sleep takes away our tiredness and makes us feel fresh. Without sleep the body gets no time to become fresh again.
Q2.
Fill the table given below.
DayWhen did you sleep?When did you get up?Duration of sleepHow you felt during the day? (a, b, c)
Yesterday    
Day before yesterday    
Prior to it    

a: Felt fresh;  b: Lazy;  c: Sleepy

The table printed on page 97.
Answer

Fill this table from your own last three days.

  1. Write the time you went to sleep and the time you got up.
  2. Count the hours between the two times. That is the duration of sleep.
  3. In the last column write a if you felt fresh, b if you felt lazy and c if you felt sleepy.
Slept at 9:30 p.m., got up at 6:30 a.m.
9:30 p.m. to 12 midnight = 2 hours 30 minutes
12 midnight to 6:30 a.m. = 6 hours 30 minutes
2 h 30 min + 6 h 30 min = 9 hours
DayWhen did you sleep?When did you get up?Duration of sleepHow you felt during the day? (a, b, c)
Yesterday9:30 p.m.6:30 a.m.9 hoursa
Day before yesterday11:00 p.m.6:00 a.m.7 hoursc
Prior to it10:00 p.m.6:00 a.m.8 hoursa

a: Felt fresh;  b: Lazy;  c: Sleepy

A sample filled table.

What you should find: on the days you slept longer you wrote a, and on the day you slept less you wrote c.

Why: The table puts the two things side by side — hours of sleep, and how you felt. Then the link between them is easy to see.
Q3.
Why do you think our body needs rest?
Answer

Our body needs rest because it works the whole day.

  • We walk, run, play, write and think all day, and that makes the body tired.
  • A good sleep takes away the tiredness and makes us feel fresh.
  • While we sleep the body becomes strong again, and we grow.
Why: Getting enough sleep is just as important as eating healthy and exercising. The three of them together keep us healthy.
Q4.
Do you think it is important to rest after a busy day of exercise and play? Why?
Answer

Yes, it is important. Here is why.

  • After a busy day of exercise and play, the muscles are tired and sore.
  • Rest and sleep take that tiredness away and make them strong again.
  • Without enough sleep it becomes difficult for us to focus on work or play.
  • We feel tired, sleepy and irritable the whole next day.
Why: Exercise makes the body work hard, and rest lets it become fresh. The body needs both, one after the other.
