Ways to Brighten Your Morning

讓您的早晨更愉快的醒來

Go to sleep with your blinds or curtains halfway open.

睡覺時(shí)讓您的百葉窗或者窗簾半開。

That way, the natural light of the rising sun will send a signal to your brain to slow its production of melatonin and bump up its production of adrenaline, a signal that it's time to wake up.

這樣的話，升起的陽光會(huì)發(fā)送給你的大腦一個(gè)是時(shí)候該起床的信號，這個(gè)信號會(huì)減緩?fù)屎诩に氐纳a(chǎn)，并提高腎上腺素的生產(chǎn)。

When the alarm goes off, you'll already be half awake. Even better: Go to bed early enough so that waking up when the sun shines through your window still gives you the recommended seven hours of shut-eye. If you maintain this routine, it's likely that you can start relying on your biological clock rather than an alarm clock.

當(dāng)鬧鐘響起的時(shí)候，你已經(jīng)半醒了。更好的情況是：盡早上床睡覺，當(dāng)太陽從你的窗戶里照射進(jìn)來時(shí)，你已經(jīng)有了7個(gè)小時(shí)的睡眠。如果你保持這個(gè)習(xí)慣，很有可能你會(huì)依賴你的生物鐘而不是鬧鐘。

【知識點(diǎn)講解】

rather than conj. 寧可 ... 也不愿；與其 ... 倒不如；而不是

例句：

It is better to express your anger, rather than bottle it up.

生氣寧可發(fā)泄出來而不要悶在肚內(nèi)。

I prefer to walk there rather than take a bus.

與其坐公共汽車去,還不如走路去。

She is a career woman rather than a housewife.

她是職業(yè)婦女而不是家庭主婦。
