How can you tell when Valentine’s Day(情人节) is coming? All those heart-shaped chocolate boxes in the store are a good clue(线索). So are those boxes actually shaped like the heart inside your body?

In fact, your heart is not shaped like a heart. It looks more like a peach. It is about the size of your fist(拳头). In most cases, it is in the left of your chest(胸口). The human heart weighs about 250 grams. When a man is in a quiet state, his heart beats about 70 times a minute. When a person does very hard exercise, his heart beats can reach 150 to 180 times each minute.

The heart is one of the most important organs(器官) in the human body. It is made up of four “rooms”. When your heart contracts, the “rooms” get smaller. The main function (功能)of the heart is to provide pressure for blood flow and run blood to all parts of the body. When your heart relaxes, blood will come back into your heart and “rooms” get bigger.

Your heart keeps pumping blood throughout your body. It transports important nutrients to all the areas of your body. The health of the heart is very important to us. Please take care of your heart. Do you agree with my opinion?

When we wake up feeling sleepy and with dark circles under eyes, many of us often think "I'm going to go to bed earlier tomorrow!" But however determined (有决心的) we are. Chances are that we don't stick to our promise.

This behavior is called "bedtime procrastination (拖延症) , and results from lack of (缺乏) self-control and our body clock. Reported Huffpost.

According to a study carried out by a group of health psychologists at Utrecht University in the Netherlands (荷兰)in 2014, bedtime procrastination is a common problem. In their study, 53 percent of the2, 400participants (参与者)said they didn't follow their sleep schedule (日程) , delaying (延迟) it at last twice a week.

It's found that they delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn't stop doing other trivial (琐碎的) things, which were keeping them up in he first place.

"People who generally have trouble fighting against temptations (诱惑) and sticking to their intentions (意图) are also more likely to delay going to bed, "Floor Kroese, a psychologist at Utrecht University, further explained to HuffPost.

Yet, according to scientists, lack of self-control is not the only thing to blame (责备) . Our body clock also plays an important role when it comes to bedtime.

In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, psychologists at Um University in Germany studied the sleep patterns (模式)of 108 people in February. It was found that those who get up late are more likely to postpone their bedtime than those who wake early every morning.

And more surprisingly, night owls (夜猫子) would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It's their special body cock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime, reported Popular Science.
