Better Sleep

 

高质量睡眠

 

Turn your clock the other way

 

不要看时间。

 

Checking the time in the middle of thenight can be very disruptive as it can often lead you to work out how many hours you've slept so far and how much sleep you have left before your alarmgoes off. Then you start overthinking about tomorrow – it's a vicious cycle.

 

在午夜时分看时间非常有害，因为那经常会让你盘算自己已经睡了几个小时、闹钟响之前自己还能睡多久。然后你就会开始思考太多明天的事情——这是一个恶性循环。

 

It's this kind of brain activity thatcould lead to you to lying awake for ages. This turns on your sympatheticnervous system (the part that deals with problem solving and focus) instead ofyour parasympathetic nervous system (the one you need on when you're sleeping as it promotes rest).

 

这种大脑活动可能会导致你躺在床上许久都不能入睡。这会打开你的交感神经系统（解决问题和关注焦点），而不是副交感神经系统（可以促进休息，是睡眠必须）。
