给起床困难户支招！

 　　Q: Lately I have struggled to get out of bed despite waking up a decent time to go to my lab (I'm a grad student), the end result being I fall asleep again and end up going in about 1–1.5 hours later than I really want to. How do I make myself actually get up when I wake up?

　　I sometimes use Sleep If U Can (Alarm) app on my android phone.

　　我有时候会用一款名为Sleep If U Can的闹钟软件。

　　While setting the alarm, it asks you to choose how to turn it off. There is a option which says to turn off by using an image. While setting , you can set an image as the off key.

　　当你在设定闹钟的时候，它会要求你要选择关闭闹钟的方法。其中一个选项是你要拍一张照片来关闭闹钟，你可以自己找张图片作为关闭图片。

　　Now when the alarm rings, it forces you to capture a similar image and turns off only if it is similar to the pre-set image.

　　当闹钟响起来的时候，你必须拍一张和设定图片相似的照片才能让它停下来。

　　I have set my turn off image as the toilet basin, so when I have to turn off the alarm , I have to search for my slippers,walk to toilet and click the image of the basin. since, I live in a hostel¹ having shared toilets, I have to leave my room to go to toilet and take the image. This is annoying but wakes me up.

　　我把厕所水池设为了关闭图片，所以我为了关闹钟，就必须要穿上我的拖鞋，走进厕所然后对着水池拍照。因为我是跟别人合用一个厕所，所以我必须离开我的房间去厕所才能拍照。这种方法太讨厌了但是却很有效。

　　I use Alarm Clock Plus★on my Android. I have to solve a maths problem in order to snooze or dismiss the alarm. Right now it is at medium difficulty, involving arithmetic between three two digit² numbers.

　　我用的是一款叫做Alarm Clock Plus★的安卓软件，为了让闹钟停下来我必须要解开一道数学题。我现在把它设定为中等难度，就是要解开一道三个两位数之间的计算题。

　　Once I set it to hard level. There were three three digit numbers having addition and subtraction³ between them. Had to literally⁴ rub my eyes and really concentrate to try and figure it out. You just can't sleep back after that.

　　有一回我设定了最高难度，是要做三个三位数之间的加减运算。我当时真的是绞尽脑汁才把它解出来，在那以后怎么可能还睡得着呢。

　　Flying Alarm

　　我用的是一款会飞的闹钟。

　　This digital alarm clock launches a rotor into the air that flies around the room as the alarm sounds, hovering⁵ up to 9' in the air, and will not cease ringing until the rotor is returned to the alarm clock base, compelling even the most stubborn sleepers⁶ to get out of bed on time.

　　这款电子闹钟有个螺旋桨，在闹钟响着的时候会盘旋而上满屋子乱飞，在回到闹钟底座之前它会一直响，这就逼着那些不起床的人准时爬出被窝。
