远离起床气
The "Far Away Alarm" Trick
把闹钟放远
The problem with alarm clocks is thatthey come with a snooze button. So while you're in your most groggy state,you're literally being given the option to make that infuriating sound cease toexist.
现在闹钟都有小睡按钮,这是个问题。当你睡意正酣,下意识就会选择这个功能让闹铃暂停。
Hell, you probably know your wake-uproutine so well that you could hit snooze while your eyes are still shut.
真糟糕,你对自己起床习惯是这么了解,都不需要睁开眼睛就可以开启小睡功能。
Do yourself a favor and remove thatall-too-easy option. Take it out of the equation. Place your alarm clock so faraway that it necessitates you actually getting out of your bed to stop it.
那就给自己帮个小忙,清除所有快捷键,让它们都不能使用。把你的闹钟放到远一点的地方,远到需要你从床上起来才能关掉它。
Once you're standing up, you likely won't want to hit snooze, and will want a cup of coffee instead.
一旦你起来了以后,你就不想再去选择小睡功能了,而是想要一杯咖啡。
