things you might have been told about sleep but aren’t completely true.

你可能聽說過的有關睡眠的事，這些都不是完全正確的。

Power Naps Will Make You Feel Refreshed

打個高質量的盹可恢復元氣

Naps are awesome, but they’re not all equally restorative. Depending on how long you nap, you might end up feeling groggy when you wake up. Aim for about 20 minutes if you want a boost in energy and mental alertness.

打盹的作用很神奇，但并不總能讓你恢復活力。這要看你睡了多長時間，也許你醒來還是昏昏沉沉。如果你想變得精力充沛、頭腦清醒，就睡20分鐘吧。

You Can Catch Up on Sleep on Weekends

周末可以補覺

When we lose sleep during the week, we accumulate a kind of sleep“debt.”Think you can pay that debt back by sleeping in on Saturday and/or Sunday? Not so fast. This might actually make you sleepier the next week. Instead of waking up later on the weekends, you’re better off going to sleep earlier or perhaps taking a nap in the afternoon.

如果我們工作日期間沒有睡夠，我們就欠下了睡眠“債”。你想的是周六日多睡一點就可以償債嗎？并不盡然，而且你下周很可能會更困倦。與其周末睡懶覺，你還不如早點上床，或者睡個午覺。
