ВИШНЕВСКАЯ ВИКТОРИЯ ЮРЬЕВНА ©

morning the sun rises, wake you up by telling your pineal gland to stop
secreting (вырабатывать) melatonin and then you wake up. And these light-
dark cycles have driven us (вели нас к) to have 24 hour circadian rhythm
(ритму). So, if you’re trying to fall asleep when it’s light and wake up when
it’s dark, then you don’t get the same restorative sleep (восстановительный
сон) that your body needs to stay alive (остаться в живых). You can keep
your circadian rhythm to a 24-hour cycle artificially (искусственно) by using
black-out curtains (затемняющие шторы), by using UV
(ультрафиолетовые) lamps. So, I think this police department is great to give
you that option (вариант). The problem is obviously socially that it sucks
(ужасно) to work constant (постоянные) night shifts. The best thing would
be to move your friends and family also to a night shift cycle (цикл). I don’t
know if you can do that. You just usually have to ask. Hey, I think people who
work night shifts deserve (заслуживают) serious compensation and gratitude
(благодарность), and they should know how to approach (найти подход к)
these things as safely as possible. Because we need people to work night.
Doctors, cops. I mean, I know when I get up to trouble (неприятности) it’s
always, it’s always at night. Everything is getting crazy. What are you doing at
night that gets you in trouble? Point is, we need people to do night shifts. And
they deserve a respect (уважение) аnd gratitude. And they deserve our
recognition (признание) that this is a health risk that they are undertaking
(берут на себя) all for, you know, people who get up to good old fun.
Exercise 213. Put the verbs into correct tenses.
