How to improve your life

如何讓生活更美好

Get enough sleep

充足的睡眠

You can't cheat yourself on sleep and not have it affect you. Being tired actually makes it harder to be happy. Lack of sleep =more likely to get sick. "Sleeping on it" does improve decision making. Lack of sleep can make you more likely to behave unethically. There is such a thing as beauty sleep.

想要在睡眠上偷工減料又不受影響是不可能的。疲憊的時候是很難開心起來的，缺乏睡眠還容易生病。“睡一覺，明天再考慮吧”的確是有利于做決策的。缺乏睡眠的時候更容易做出毀三觀的事情。還有美容覺的說法呢。

Naps are great too. Naps increase alertness and performance on the job, enhance learning ability and purge negative emotions while enhancing positive ones.

打個盹兒也不錯。打個盹兒工作的時候反應更快，表現更好，學習更輕松，清除消極情緒，變得樂觀積極。
