14.Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon?Many people feel this way after lunch.They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness.Or,in summer,they may think it is the heat.However,the real reason lies inside their bodies.At that time-about eight hours after you wake up-your body temperature goes down.This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day.The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern.They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world,people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day.This is especially true in warmer climates,where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where naps are traditional,people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.Many working people,unfortunately,have no time to take naps.Though doctors may advise taking naps,employers do not allow it!If you do have the chance,however,here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward.This can also happen if you sleep for too long.If you do not have enough time,try a short nap-even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.

Learning how to gain courage doesn't mean not being afraid.It means learning to do things despite your fear.Fear comes from the body's natural response to the brain's fight or flight response.Fearfulness is a learned behavior,based in our brain chemistry,but strengthened by the world around us that has trained us to be fearful.Learning to work through fear and step beyond it is about retraining your mind.
Avoiding fears actually makes you feel more fearful.Theirs is a certain mindset in Western culture that views emotions as weakness and seeks to suppress them.But suppressing negative emotions only heightens the fear of the negative emotions itself,strengthening them the more they are avoided.
Exposing yourself to things that you fear (while being sure to be smart about it) can help the brain become less sensitive to the fear and make it easier for you to face.
The longer your brain has to come up with excuses for not having courage,the more time you will have to panic about assumed negative outcomes.If you are in a situation where you have to pick up a spider or jump out of an airplane,do it immediately if you're going to do it at all.
Reinforce your success by giving your self a reward when you do deal with your fear.This could be a physical treat,like a nice bottle of wine,or a mental treat,like taking a break from human interaction.
