你肯定不會相信,在我們的日常生活中,有很多簡單的事兒其實我們一直都做錯了:
From a young age, we're taught that the daily use of a hot shower, copious amounts of soap and a scratchy washcloth are necessary to rid ourselves of dangerous microorganisms.
每個小朋友都被教導說每天用熱水洗澡可以去除身上危險的微生物。
As it turns out, showering daily wreaks havoc on something hilariously called the horny layer. Hot water, soap and abrasive surfaces strip off the horny layer, exposing living cells to the elements.
其實每天洗澡會嚴重破壞身上的角質層。熱水、肥皂和搓澡巾會使角質層脫落,讓我們的皮膚暴露在外。
So how the hell are we meant to do it?
那我們該怎么洗澡?
The most important thing to do to keep the skin healthy is to preserve the horny layer. Skipping showers gives your skin time to repair some of the damage that the last shower caused.
想要保持皮膚健康,就得保護角質層。少洗幾次澡,讓皮膚可以自行修復上次洗澡造成的破壞。
Why the hell do you keep waking up at 3 a.m.? If this happens to you often, you're not alone. Chances are, if you mention waking up like this to your doctor, it'll be diagnosed as a "sleep disorder," and you'll be given one of the tens of millions of prescriptions for sleeping pills handed out to people each year.
要是你經常在半夜3點中醒過來,恭喜你,你不是一個人。你的醫生可能會把這種情況診斷為“睡眠障礙”,給你開上一堆安眠藥。
So how the hell are we meant to do it?
那我們該怎么睡覺?
The idea of the sleep pattern natural to mankind has surprisingly changed from an uninterrupted eight hours to sleeping in segments: three to five hours of sleep, an hour of wakefulness and then another three to five hour nap. This small window of consciousness was renowned as the best time for boning.
8小時無干擾睡眠?過時啦,我們要學會分段睡覺:睡3到5小時,然后保持1個小時的清醒狀態,再接著睡上3到5小時。這種1小時的有意識狀態被認為是最佳的適應時間。
If you stay calm and allow yourself to fall back to sleep naturally rather than lying there wondering why you're awake, you usually won't see any negative effects the next day.
半夜醒來,請別糾結自己為什么醒了,保持冷靜,讓自己自然地再睡過去,這樣消極情緒就不用影響到你啦。
