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 before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar saying as: "Get up, John! You’re 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 quarrelling end when husbands and wives realize what these 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. 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 work better at your low point. Get off to slow start which saves your energy. When you get up, 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 routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours. |

insisted on watering the flowers in the garden by himself, and when he
discovered that he couldn’t manage, he asked me for help at the last moment. So
now we had an hour to get to the airport. Luckily, there were not many cars or
buses on the road and we were able to get there just in time. We checked in and
went straight to a big hall to wait for flight to be called. We waited and
waited, but no announcement was made. We asked for information and the girl
there told us that the plane hadn’t even arrived yet. In tile end, there was
another announcement telling us that passengers waiting for Flight LJ108 could
get a free meal voucher(凭单) and that the plane hadn’t left Spain for technical
problems. We thought that meant that it wasn’t safe for the plane to fly. We
waited again for a long time until late evening when we were asked to report
again. This time we were given vouchers to spend the night in a nearby
hotel. The next morning after a bad night because of all the planes taking off and landing, we were reported back to the airport. Guess what had happened while we were asleep! Our plane had arrived and taken off again. All the other passengers had been forgotten. You can imagine how we felt! |
