臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是:
If you have trouble falling asleep that quickly, the studies found that you can still benefit from the coffee nap. Even just drinking the caffeine and getting a few minutes of restful half-sleep half-awakeness is going to make you feel more alert when you do get up 20 minutes later.
如果你很難那么快就入睡,這些研究發現你還是可以從咖啡小憩中獲得好處。即使只是攝取咖啡因后,稍微半睡半醒地休息一陣子,過二十分鐘后爬起來,你也會因此變得更機靈。
