職場(chǎng)英語(yǔ)午睡的秘密
If a 20-minute nap, a cup of joe, and more shuteye at night were in a cage match, who would win for reducing that classic afternoon "dip"? The answer is: (in order of effectiveness)
二十分鐘的小睡，一杯咖啡，晚上多睡一會(huì)，這三樣哪種能更有效地減輕下午的瞌睡?答案如下(根據(jù)有效度排序)：
1.Nap
1.小睡
2.Caffeine
2.咖啡
3.Then more nighttime sleep
3.晚上多睡會(huì)兒
A new study just released proves the power of a nap over a jolt of caffeine and even more sleep at night. It's actually the first such study to look at all three methods for combating the afternoon lull that's commonly experienced-and which is a very normal physiological response to the body cycling through its natural rhythms during the day.
一項(xiàng)新研究剛剛證明小睡的威力強(qiáng)過(guò)一罐咖啡甚至是晚上多睡一會(huì)兒。這實(shí)際上是第一次讓三種對(duì)抗下午犯困的方法同臺(tái)競(jìng)技。事實(shí)上，下午犯困是一天之中人體生理節(jié)律導(dǎo)致的非常正常的生理反應(yīng)。
Naps refresh you at a cellular level that-sorry, Soda-caffeine just can't do.
小睡會(huì)在細(xì)胞層面讓你清醒，這些是一杯可樂(lè)或者咖啡無(wú)法完成的。
It's easier to over-sleep than you think. Biologically, the body doesn't necessarily need that extra sleep if you force yourself to sleep more at night. (And getting sufficient sleep doesn't mean your body won't go through the dip regardless; it's a natural, physiological phenomenon tied more to your circadian rhythm than to your previous night's sleep and potential sleep debt.)
你比你想象的更容易睡多。從生理上來(lái)說(shuō)，即便你強(qiáng)迫自己在晚上睡得更多，但其實(shí)身體并不需要這些額外的睡眠。(而且，睡眠充足并不意味著你的身體就不會(huì)有回落的過(guò)程。這是一種天生的、生理的現(xiàn)象，主要受到生理節(jié)律而非前一晚睡得多少或者有沒(méi)有缺覺(jué)的影響)。
But here's a big caveat: most people would probably choose caffeine over a nap, and ditch the nap entirely. Downing caffeine can be easier, quicker, and socially more acceptable in many ways. Finding a place to nap in the middle of the workday can be a challenge. And studies have also shown that when deciding between a nap and an "attractive wakeful activity," they choose the activity.
不過(guò)我要給你一條最重要的提醒：很多人會(huì)選擇咖啡因而不是小睡，他們完全不會(huì)打盹。喝杯咖啡可能更容易、更快、而且在很多方面更容易讓社會(huì)接受。工作的時(shí)候找個(gè)地方小睡一下可能是個(gè)難題。研究還表明當(dāng)決定是要小睡還是進(jìn)行“吸引人的提神活動(dòng)”的時(shí)候，人們會(huì)選擇活動(dòng)一下。
Let's face it, coffeehouses have multiple buzzes going on. People. Internet. Connectivity. Social interaction. Exchanges of ideas. And tasty treats beyond the joes and javas. Naps tend to be solitary and, dare I say, not as sexy.
讓我們來(lái)面對(duì)這個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)：咖啡館總是多彩多樣，熱鬧非凡：人、互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、聯(lián)系、社會(huì)交往、交換各種想法，還有除了咖啡之外的可口美食。而小睡一般更安靜，而且斗膽說(shuō)一句，不夠性感。
But for what it's worth, hail to the nap.
但是不管怎么樣，還是睡個(gè)小覺(jué)吧。
