昨日歯医者に行きました。私は日本に帰ったときは必ず歯医者に行くようにしています。私は歯医者に行くとき、とても緊張します。特に痛みがあるから行くわけではないのに、行く前は虫歯があったらどうしようと不安になります。ドイツでは私は一番安い保険に入っているので、日本と同じレベルの治療を期待できません。だか日本に帰る度に歯医者に行って治療しています。
今回は虫歯は見つからなかったのですが、下に生えている親知らずを抜いた方がいいと言われました。でも今親知らずを抜いたら、日本にいる間に食べたいものが食べられなくなるかもしれません。でも、親知らずを抜かないでドイツに帰って、ドイツで親知らずが痛くなればたくさんのお金を払って治療しなければいけないかもしれません。今、どうするべきかとても悩んでいます。みなさんならどうしますか？

歯医者：はいしゃ　dentist
緊張する：きんちょうする　get nervous
保険：ほけん　insurance
治療：ちりょう　treatment
期待する：きたいする　expect 
虫歯：むしば　cavity
親知らず：おやしらず　wisdom tooth
抜く：ぬく　pull out
悩む：なやむ　worry

American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald once said the "worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to."

Many of us will have experienced this at some point — lying in bed for what feels like hours, trying to fall asleep. But what if there was a way to fall asleep in just five minutes?

Of course, some people take longer to fall asleep than others do. But experts say there are different things we can do to help us fall asleep quicker.

Here are some of them:

Morning light is important
It might sound strange, but according to sleep scientist Russell Foster, getting a good night's sleep starts in the morning. Speaking with The Telegraph, he said it's important to get as much natural light as early as possible.

This can help move our body clock to an earlier time, so that we already feel tired when we get into bed later on.

Don't nap after 4 p.m.
If you've had a long day at work, you may be tempted to have a nap in the afternoon. And while short naps can help us feel less tired during the day, Foster says we shouldn't nap for longer than 20 minutes or less than six hours before going to bed, or we might have difficulty falling asleep later.

Practice mindfulness
"Most people don't have a sleep problem, they have an anxiety problem," Foster says, and he recommends practicing mindfulness as a way to relax before bed.

This means being present with our thoughts, instead of thinking about things that have happened or could happen. You could try reading or doing some breathing exercises as a way to relax, and avoid using your phone.

He adds that important conversations should be saved for when it's light outside, as they could keep your mind active and stop you from falling asleep quickly.
