閱讀前身

現代人生活步調快速，連睡覺都像是趕時間似的無法真正休息。美國有超過三成以上的人有過失眠現象，一夜好眠成了許多人躺在床上時的願望。新的一年，讓我們來檢視一下，那些你以為的好習慣，說不定就是阻擋你睡的香甜的原因。

進入本文前，請先想想以下單字有一些表達很容易錯，不要被中文誤導了：

(A)慢性的(不是slow)　

(B)縱情於（不是over）

(C)有規律規律 (不是regularity)

(1)As with all health issues, the best cure is to look at the cause of the problem. The main cause of insomnia is (A)chronic stress. When a person is consistently in a state of stress, the body is always on the edge waiting to respond and deal with stimuli and not interested in going to sleep because it fears it is in danger.

如同所有的健康議題，最好的治癒之道就是治本。失眠的主因就是慢性壓力。當一個人持續處在壓力中，身體將會一直處在等待回應及處理刺激的狀態，而且因為擔心有危險也不會想要去睡覺。

However, if you think yourself satisfied with your current life and have nothing to worry about, you don't watch TV or use the computer in bed, and always have your last cup of coffee at noon, yet you're still not sleeping! You will probably then need this list of unexpected sleep snatchers to help you figure it out. Some of your habits may be keeping you from (2)drifting off to dreamland.

不過，如果你對現在生活滿意，也沒有什麼事需要擔心，不在床上看電視或是用電腦，總是在下午就喝掉你最後一杯咖啡，但你還是睡不著! 那你可能就需要這份出乎意料的睡眠竊賊清單來幫你解答!你的習慣可能就是讓你無法入夢鄉的原兇。

1. Inconsistent eating.

If you eat a balanced dinner most nights but (B)indulge in happy hour and late night burritos a couple days a week you could be damaging more than your diet. It's ok to have dinner later in the evening as long as you stick with it every day. If not, skip the unexpected dessert and *hit the hay. (C)Consistency is key.

1. 進食不規律

假使你幾乎每晚的晚餐都很均衡，但一周總有幾天會享受歡樂時光或是深夜品嘗墨西哥捲餅，這會比你在節食還傷身。只要你每天都是固定時間，晚點吃晚餐是可以的。假使不是，略過不在預期內的餐點去睡覺吧。定時定量是關鍵。
