Let the number of years of watching TV be

x

.

The number of years sleeping exceeds the number of years watching TV by

18

. This means that the number of years sleeping is higher than the number of years watching TV by

18

and can be represented by

（x+18).

The total time is 34

years. So we can form the following equation and solve for the required values:

x+(x+18)=34

x+x＋18=34

2x=34-18

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

Thus, the number of years watching is 8

and the number of years sleeping is

8+18=26

.
