How to Take a Nap

Whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap habit is a smart, healthy move. A 2010 British study found that a mid-day nap was the best way to deal with the mid-afternoon tiredness.

And, unbelievably, a 2017 study showed that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn’t nap. To get the most out of your rest, follow these tips.

How long to sleep: Naps provide a lot of help depending on how long they are, says MentalFloss.com. A 20-minute nap will improve alertness(机敏); a 90-minute nap can strengthen creativity. So have a nap between 20 to 90 minutes. If you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, it’s likely that your timing was just off.

What time to sleep: Prevention. com says that you experience a natural drop in body temperature between 1 pm and 3 pm. A power nap at this time can improve alertness for several hours and, for most people, won’t affect being able to fall asleep at night.

How to get comfortable: MentalFloss. com says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down. (That’s why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains!) Pick a dark, quiet place . Surprisingly, the best place to sleep may be a hammock (吊床) if you have one.

Consider a “caffeine nap”: It sounds strange, but drinking coffee right before a nap may be very helpful for your alertness after the nap. Since caffeine takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect, you’ll feel even more awake after your 20-minute nap.

【解析】

文章讲述了睡午觉的好处，以及介绍了关于如何更好地午睡的几个小常识。

【1】根据文中picking up a nap habit is a smart, healthy move.养成午睡的好习惯，是一个聪明健康的举动。所以这里应该填habit，故答案为habit。

【2】根据文中A 2010 British study found that a mid-day nap was the best way to deal with the mid-afternoon tiredness.2010年英国的一项研究发现，午睡是应对午后疲劳的最佳方式。可知比起应对午后疲劳，没有比午睡更好的方法了。而空格前有no，这里否定的比较级表示最高级，所以这里用比较级better。故答案为better。

【3】根据文中And, unbelievably, a 2017 study showed that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn’t nap.而且，令人难以置信的是，2017年的一项研究显示，与不打盹的人相比，经常打盹的人死于心脏病的风险降低了37%。可知经常打盹的人死于心脏病的风险更小，句中有than，所以应该用比较级，故答案为less。

【4】根据文中To get the most out of your rest, follow these tips.要充分利用休息时间，请遵循以下提示。可知这里讲的是如何能有一个好的午睡给出的一些建议，tip建议（可数名词单数），suggestion建议（可数名词单数），advice建议（不可数名词）。根据全文可知，提出了若干个建议。且空位于句首；故答案为 Tips/Advice/suggestions。

【5】根据文中How long to sleep可知，第一个建议是睡多长时间，也就是要用多长时间啊，英语中可以表达为how much time，故答案为time。

【6】根据文中If you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, it’s likely that your timing was just off.如果你从午睡中醒来感到困惑或更累，很可能你的时间刚刚过。可知这里表达的是“感觉”，英语是feel，句子主语是第二人称，所以动词用原形，故答案为feel。

【7】根据文中A power nap at this time can improve alertness for several hours and, for most people, won’t affect being able to fall asleep at night.此时小睡可以提高几个小时的警觉性，对大多数人来说，不会影响晚上入睡。可知这里指的是一个否定词，而空格后affecting，所以这里应该填介词，故答案为without。

【8】根据文中MentalFloss. com says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down.可知，坐着入睡比躺着入睡要长50%左右。所以这里应该表达的是“躺下”，英语是lie down，根据空前can可知，用动词原形。故答案为lie。

【9】根据文中Surprisingly, the best place to sleep may be a hammock (吊床) if you have one. 令人惊讶的是，如果你有吊床的话，最好的睡觉地方可能是吊床。可知，这里表达的“惊讶的”，而Surprisingly= to our surprise。表示“让某人惊讶的是”，所以这里应该用名词，故答案为surprise。

【10】根据文中It sounds strange, but drinking coffee right before a nap may be very helpful for your alertness after the nap. Since caffeine takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect, you’ll feel even more awake after your 20-minute nap.听起来很奇怪，但是在午睡前喝咖啡可能对你午睡后的警觉很有帮助。因为咖啡因需要20到30分钟才能完全发挥作用，所以在小睡20分钟后，你会感觉更加清醒。可知这里表达的是“醒来”，英语是wake up，也可用get up。而空格前after是一个介词，所以空格应该填ing形式，故答案为waking/getting。
