一晚没睡好？-出去晒晒太阳(6)

 A Crappy Night's Sleep

 

一晚没睡好

 

Avoid your devices once it gets dark.

 

天黑之后远离电子设备。

 

Since grogginess¹ can make you lessproductive, you might be tempted² to work later than usual.

 

失眠会降低你的效率，你可能不得不加班。

 

But the light coming from your screencould keep you up late too, so force yourself to stop two hours before bedtime,says Dr. Goldstein.

 

但是屏幕发出的光亮会让你很难入睡，所以在睡前两小时强迫自己不要看任何电子设备，Goldstein医生说。

 

Drink coffee. (Bet you thought we weren't going to say that!)

 

喝咖啡。（你肯定想不到我们会说这一点！）。

 

Coffee really does help keep you going,says Dr. Goldstein, since it reduces adenosine, a neurotransmitter your brain releases when you're sleep-deprived.

 

Goldstein医生说，咖啡的确会让你保持清醒，因为它可以减少腺苷，是大脑在你睡眠不足时候释放的一种神经递质。

 

Just try not to have a cup after 2:00P.M., since misuse³ of coffee can make sleeplessnessa self-perpetuating cycle.

 

只是试着不要在下午两点之后和，因为喝太多咖啡会导致失眠的恶性循环。

 

Really, the most important thing is that next night — it's what will keep one bad day frombecoming a pattern of sleeplessness⁴.

 

当然，最重要的事情是下一晚要睡好-保证你摆脱失眠循环，不荒废第二天。
