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 in their bodies. At that time---about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern(模式). 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 _____________ 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 heart disease.
Many working people, unluckily, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers(雇主们) do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making use 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 too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap--- even ten minutes sleep can be helpful.

Laura Fagan, a 29-year-old British girl, has a special job. She is paid well to taste chocolate, desserts and cakes.
Laura works in the famous supermarket, Tesco. Her job is to try different kinds of desserts. She needs to try as many as 20 desserts a day. Also, she always travels for work. She needs to travel to different cities to try different desserts.
Although the job seems to be great, it is hard. Usually, Laura begins trying desserts as early as 8 am, and is still trying new desserts at 6 pm before she goes back home. Luckily, the job hasn’t made her too heavy. She only worries about her teeth.
“Of course I was afraid of becoming fat when I started the job, so I try to do exercise as often as possible. The main thing is my teeth. I don’t think my dentist will be happy if I tell her what I do, so I try to brush my teeth as often as possible,” Laura told a reporter. She goes to the gym to keep slim (苗条的) and takes more care of her teeth after trying the desserts. She said, “When I tell people what I do, they say it’s the best job in the world.”
Laura loves her job although it is hard. “I can learn about new trends (动态) in food,” she said.
