Appointment With Waking

預約起床時間

The harsh truth about the human body is that we're creatures of habit. In some ways this can be extremely inconvenient when trying to take on new things. However, if we allow ourselves to live within the rules of our body's natural cycle, which is a 24-hour circadian rhythm, we will be pleased with the body's functionality.

說到人的身體，我們不得不承認一個事實：人的活動受到習慣的支配。從某些方面來說，這給我們嘗試接受新事物帶來極大不便。然而，如果我們使生活與身體的生理節律同步，我們就會對自己的身體功能感到滿意。

This means that when you find a waking hour that will work best for you each day of the week, you should stick to it. This will allow your body to want to support you in your endeavor of waking up, and rise you out of bed feeling fresh as a daisy.

也就是說，當你找到合適自己的起床時間，就應該堅持下去。這樣你的身體就能夠在起床時給你以支持，讓醒來后的你像雛菊一樣充滿活力。
