Sleeping

睡觉

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.

要是你经常在半夜3点中醒过来，恭喜你，你不是一个人。你的医生可能会把这种情况诊断为“睡眠障碍”，给你开上一堆安眠药。

So how the hell are we meant to do it?

那我们该怎么睡觉？

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小时无干扰睡眠？过时啦，我们要学会分段睡觉：睡3到5小时，然后保持1个小时的清醒状态，再接着睡上3到5小时。这种1小时的有意识状态被认为是最佳的适应时间。

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.

半夜醒来，请别纠结自己为什么醒了，保持冷静，让自己自然地再睡过去，这样消极情绪就不用影响到你啦。
