实用11招 让你的每个早晨都充满活力
The sounds of your alarm clock goes off. It’s Monday morning. You were up late Sunday night and you have to be at work in two hours. You don’t feel like getting out of bed, let alone completing your morning tasks. How can you get out of bed more quickly and get more energy in the morning? Try some of these techniques:
星期一早上,你的闹铃响起。尽管你在星期天晚上熬夜,但也得在睡两小时后起来工作。你不爱起床,更别说完成早晨的工作任务了。你怎么才能在早上更快地下床而又更加精力充沛呢?请尝试其中的一些技巧:
1. Set your alarm clock to play your favorite music
把自己爱听的音乐设为你的闹钟铃声
The sounds of most alarm clocks is miserable and can elicit feelings of anxiety in many people. Thus by using a standard alarm clock, the first thought in your head each day is a negative one. That’s a terrible way to start the day! Instead, I recommend setting your alarm clock to play music that makes you happy. The first thought in your head each day be a bright one.
多数闹钟的铃声都不够悦耳动听,会引起许多人有焦虑感。因此,使用闹钟的标准铃声,你的头脑每天首先想到的是消极想法。以消极情绪开始新的一天是很糟糕的!我建议你设定闹钟铃声播放让你高兴快乐的音乐,这样你的脑子每天首先想到的就是积极想法。
Unlike with an annoying alarm clock sound, you won’t even want to push the snooze button! You will just want to dance, and you can’t sleep when you’re dancing… and when you’re dancing, you want to stand up. So before you know it, you’re up and ready to take on the day!
不会像平常那样一听到闹钟铃声就觉得很烦人,换成了播放自己爱听的音乐甚至你都不想按掉闹钟上的止闹按钮!你只想随着悦耳动听的音乐跳舞,而且当你想跳舞时你就不再有睡意......而你想要跳舞时,你又要站起来才行。所以,在你意识到这点之前,你起床准备开始新的一天!
2. Drink caffeine shortly after waking
醒来后过几分钟喝杯咖啡
Often people feel groggy and slow for the first hour or two after waking up. Feeling groggy leads to lower productivity, and means more time spent on certain tasks than is necessary. To eliminate the morning groggy feeling, drink coffee or tea within about fifteen minutes of waking up. It prevents you from wanting to go back to sleep, and will give you the energy you need to get your morning tasks done quicker and get to work on time.
醒来后的前一两个小时常常让人感到昏昏沉沉、动作缓慢。一上午都感觉昏昏沉沉导致效率比较低,这代表在完成某些工作任务上比所需的时间长。消除早晨昏昏沉沉不清醒的感觉,醒来约十五分钟内饮用咖啡或茶,可以使你不再有想回去睡觉的睡意,并会让你拥有较快完成早晨的任务所需的能量,并按时开始投入工作状态中。
3. Place your alarm clock far from your bed
将闹钟放在远离床的位置
By placing your alarm clock far from your bed, you will be required to get out of bed to turn it off. Getting out of bed is often the hardest part about waking up in the morning. By getting out of bed faster, you increase the likelihood of starting your day instead of pressing the snooze button. Having your alarm clock next your bed makes it easier to press the snooze button and sleep longer.
把闹钟放在远离床的位置,这就要求你得起身下床将其关闭。起身下床常常是早晨醒来最难的部分。起床速度越快,你就越可能尽快开始一天,而不是按掉闹钟按钮接着睡。把闹钟放在床的旁边会让你更容易按掉闹钟多睡一会儿。
4. Exercise in the morning
早晨锻炼身体
Some light exercise in the morning will get your endorphins flowing and give you more energy. The optimal duration and intensity of exercise varies from person to person. After a brief workout at the gym, I feel energized and ready to take on the day. In addition, it leaves the rest of my day open for other activities.
早上做一些轻度的运动锻炼,让内啡肽在体内流动而拥有更多能量。锻炼的最佳时间和强度因人而异。在健身房做个小运动量的健身锻炼之后,我感觉精力充沛,并准备开始新的一天。此外,也让我在一天剩下的时间里有精力做其它锻炼身体的活动。
5. Drink water right before going to sleep
临睡前正确喝水
By drinking water first thing in the morning, when you wake up you’ll have to go to the bathroom which will make you want to get up and prevent you from falling back to sleep. However, try to avoid excess amounts of water within the few hours prior to going to sleep as at may cause you to wake up in the middle of the night. I recommend experimenting to find the optimal timing and quantity of water to drink prior to sleeping.
在早上第一件事就是饮水,当你醒来时你得去洗手间,这会使你想起床又不再想回去睡觉。但是,尽量避免在睡前的几个小时内过量喝水,你可能会在半夜醒来。我建议在睡觉前尝试最佳喝水时间和喝水量。
