远离起床气

 

The "Far Away Alarm" Trick

 

把闹钟放远

 

The problem with alarm clocks is that they come with a snooze button. So while you're in your most groggy¹ state,you're literally² being given the option to make that infuriating sound cease to exist.

 

现在闹钟都有小睡按钮，这是个问题。当你睡意正酣，下意识就会选择这个功能让闹铃暂停。

 

Hell, you probably know your wake-up routine so well that you could hit snooze while your eyes are still shut.

 

真糟糕，你对自己起床习惯是这么了解，都不需要睁开眼睛就可以开启小睡功能。

 

Do yourself a favor and remove that all-too-easy option. Take it out of the equation. Place your alarm clock so faraway that it necessitates³ you actually getting out of your bed to stop it.

 

那就给自己帮个小忙，清除所有快捷键，让它们都不能使用。把你的闹钟放到远一点的地方，远到需要你从床上起来才能关掉它。

 

Once you're standing⁴ up, you likely won't want to hit snooze, and will want a cup of coffee instead.

 

一旦你起来了以后，你就不想再去选择小睡功能了，而是想要一杯咖啡。
