Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're“hot”. That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as:“Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by Habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a show start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn(哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do dairy work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

1．C 体温的循环周期在下午和晚上处于高峰的人，在早上则处于低谷，所以不愿意起床。 2．A 文中提到：当夫妇二人意识到能量循环周期的真正意义时，就停止了争吵。因此说，当不了解能量循环有周期这一观点时，很多人会因此而吵架。 3．C 文中提到当你的能量在早晨处于低谷时，你还有很重要的工作需要在早晨做，那么你就必须比平时早起。 4．A 早晨起床后打哈欠或伸懒腰，可以帮助你节省能量。 5．B Dr．Kleitman解释了为什么有的人早晨喜欢睡懒觉，并没有解释人们为什么在每天不同的时间达到能量循环高峰的问题。 |
