半夜失眠? 專家建議起來(lái)讀本書就好了!

如果你半夜3點(diǎn)醒來(lái)、而又難以再次入睡的話，那么這里有一個(gè)很簡(jiǎn)單的解決辦法。

While most people sniff lavender and count sheep, scientist and sleep expert, Wendy Troxel, Ph.D., has another method.

雖然大多數(shù)人這個(gè)時(shí)候都會(huì)聞一聞薰衣草或者數(shù)羊，但是科學(xué)家、睡眠專家溫迪·特羅克塞爾博士還有另外一種方法。

Troxel believes you should actually get out of bed and do a 'relaxing' activity - such as read a book - to help you drift back off to sleep.

特羅克塞爾認(rèn)為，這時(shí)你應(yīng)該離開被窩、做一種“放松”的活動(dòng)--比如讀一本書，從而幫助自己再次入睡。

Speaking to Byrdie, she explained: 'Our brains learn by association, and to sleep well, you want your brain to have a strong learned association between the bed and sleep.

在接受Byrdie采訪時(shí)，她解釋說(shuō)：“我們的大腦通過(guò)聯(lián)想進(jìn)行學(xué)習(xí)，為了睡個(gè)好覺，你想要自己的大腦在'床'和'睡覺'之間有很強(qiáng)的學(xué)習(xí)聯(lián)想。”

'The key is to distract yourself from the fact that you are not sleeping (so you don't practice worrying in bed), and once your brain is distracted by some other activity, you might actually get sleepy again. At that point, you can return to bed.'

“關(guān)鍵是要使你自己不去想你沒(méi)有在睡覺這個(gè)事實(shí)(這樣你就不會(huì)在床上因?yàn)樗恢箲]不安)，而一旦你的大腦被其他活動(dòng)分心，你可能就又會(huì)想要睡覺了。這個(gè)時(shí)候，你就可以重返被窩了。”

She also shared other tips for preventing waking up mid-way through the night - and they might surprise you.

她還分享了其他一些防止人們半夜醒來(lái)的方法，可能會(huì)讓你大吃一驚。

While most people love to work out in the morning, she suggests hitting the gym in the evening to help beat stress, which could prevent sleep issues.

雖然大多數(shù)人都喜歡在早上鍛煉，但是她建議人們應(yīng)該在晚上才去健身房，從而舒緩壓力、預(yù)防睡眠問(wèn)題。

She also says it's paramount to wake up at the same time every day. By failing to do this, your brain will be confused about when it should be active and asleep.

她還表示，最重要的是每天都要在同一時(shí)間醒來(lái)。如果沒(méi)有做到這一點(diǎn)的話，那么你的大腦就會(huì)不知道什么時(shí)候該活躍、什么時(shí)候該休息。
