Correct Transcript:

Just emerge to be one of the important lives, the risk factors that we kind of just start to realize how important it is, even though it's 1/3 of our time, American Sleep Association has these recommendations of 7 to 9 hours for the general populations and 7 to 8 hours for seniors. I'm not going to comment on their specific hours, but in general, it's like what Maria says, you know, too little is not good, and too much is not good either. And I think the too little usually in the literature is the cut of point of about 6 hours. So definitely don't sleep less than six hours.

Printed "redress", the speaker says "realize"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "just start to realize". Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "relevations", the speaker says "recommendations"

Explanation: The speaker says "has these recommendations of", not "relevations". Both words start the same and end the same, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "spontaneous", the speaker says "specific"

Explanation: Listen for "comment on their specific hours". The first letter is the same, so focus on the middle or end of the word.

Printed "indeed", the speaker says "either"

Explanation: You will hear "not good either". The words start with different letters, so listen at the start of the word.

Printed "surely", the speaker says "definitely"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "So definitely don't sleep". They start with different letters but end the same, so listen to the start.

"American" matches the audio

Explanation: "American Sleep Association has" looks like a formal name and may trick you. The speaker says it exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"Maria" matches the audio

Explanation: "what Maria says, you know" has a name that can distract you. The speaker uses that name exactly, so do not click it.
