必须戒掉的坏习惯
Hitting the snooze button
按掉闹钟
It might feel as though pressing the snooze button in the morning gives you a little bit of extra rest to start your day, but the truth is that it does more harm than good.
你可能觉得早晨按掉闹钟能让你起床前多休息一会儿,但其实这样做弊大于利。
That's because when you wake up, your endocrine system begins to release alertness hormones to get you ready for the day. By going back to sleep, you're slowing down this process. Plus, nine minutes doesn't give your body time to get the restorative, deep sleep it needs.
这是因为睡醒后,人体内分泌系统开始分泌清醒激素,唤醒身体。睡回笼觉会减慢这一过程。另外,9分钟的时间根本不够进入让人精神焕发的深度睡眠。
【知识点讲解】
