Wake-Up Tips: How to Make the Morning Easier


From: WebMD

November 19, 2021


1. Start Small


Good news for night owls, and anyone else who doesn’t bound out of bed when the sun comes up: You can learn to love your mornings. Even small changes to your routines can boost your mood and energy. Little tweaks can help you get the shut-eye you need, too. When you’re well-rested, it’s not a struggle to get up.


2. Put Your Alarm Out of Reach


Let’s face it: Unless you have another hour or 2 to sleep, hitting the snooze button won’t really help you feel less tired. But there’s another reason to get up when you first hear that annoying beep. When you get up and go to bed at the same time every day, you’ll keep your body’s internal clock in sync. That makes you more alert in the morning, and sleepy when it’s time to call it a night. 


3. Let in the Light


As soon as you wake, open the curtains or blinds. Or step outside. Natural light gets your brain going and keeps your body clock on track. If it’s gloomy out, turn on the lights. A light-up alarm clock can help. And it may be less jarring than a noisy alarm. If you have seasonal affective disorder or depression, try a light box (or sunlamp). It can lift your mood and help you feel more awake. 


4. Enjoy a Morning Splurge


To curb your urge to stay under the covers, plan something to look forward to each morning. You could read your favorite web site over a tasty breakfast, or go for a walk in a scenic park. Anything that excites you or brings you pleasure helps to rouse your brain and makes you less sleepy.


5. Sip a Cup of Joe


Just make sure your java’s the caffeinated kind. Caffeine pumps up brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. They boost your mood, spike your energy levels, and help you focus. (Regular coffee drinkers are also less likely to get the blues than those who rarely or never sip the strong stuff.) Not a fan? Opt for a cup of black or green tea. They have caffeine plus other healthy compounds. 


6. Schedule a Morning Sweat Session


Jumping jacks or a brisk walk can get your blood pumping and rev up your nervous system. You'll feel more alert in the moment -- and hours later, too. If you work out first thing, you’ll fall asleep more easily than if you do it later on. At least try for several hours before bedtime. Any later and you may find it hard to nod off. Or do yoga -- it’s proven to ease insomnia.


7. Fuel Up


No appetite? Try to have a small morning meal anyway. Even a light bite, like an egg with a piece of whole-grain toast or a cup of yogurt with berries, gives your body the energy it needs to get going. Breakfast helps you focus, too. It may even keep your body clock on track. That’ll make your morning feel more like morning and less like the middle of the night.


8. Power Down Before Bedtime


Bright lights at night can reduce your melatonin levels (that’s a hormone that helps you feel sleepy). And it isn't just overhead bulbs that can have you counting sheep. The glow of cell phones, computers, and TVs also slows melatonin production. The fix: Dim the lights in your home, and turn off all screens and tech tools at least an hour before you plan to hit the hay.


9. Skip the Nightcap


Yes, alcohol makes you feel sleepy. But it makes it harder to stay asleep and can make you feel groggy in the morning, too. If you do hit the hooch, stick to one drink and have it with dinner, or at least 2 to 3 hours before bedtime. 


10. Find a Good Wind-Down Routine


A relaxing evening helps you fall asleep. Avoid stressors like email and tough talks with family members at least an hour before bed. To get in the mood for slumber, you can meditate, stretch, take a warm shower or bath, or read a book in a low-lit room. If you get at least 7 hours a night but you're still worn out, see the doctor. A health problem or a sleep disorder like sleep apnea may be to blame.

Wake-Up Tips: How to Make the Morning Easier


From: WebMD

November 19, 2021


1. Start Small 先迈出一小步


Good news for night owls, and anyone else who doesn’t bound out of bed when the sun comes up: You can learn to love your mornings. Even small changes to your routines can boost your mood and energy. Little tweaks can help you get the shut-eye you need, too. When you’re well-rested, it’s not a struggle to get up.


对夜猫子和任何太阳晒到屁股还不起床的人来说,这是个好消息:你可以学着爱上早晨。即使是日常生活中的小变化也能改善你的情绪和精力。小小的调整也能帮助你获得你需要的睡眠。当你休息得很好时,起床并不困难。



night owl


night owl /ˈnaɪt ˌaʊl/ 表示“夜猫子”,英文解释为“a person who prefers to be awake and active at night”



bound


1)bound /baʊnd/ 作动词,表示“跳跃;跳动;跳跃着前进”,英文解释为“to move quickly with large jumping movements”

2)bound作形容词 表示“去…的;准备前往…的;开往…的”,英文解释为“If a vehicle or person is bound for a particular place, they are travelling toward it.”,通常用法:be bound for,举个🌰:
The train was bound for Hangzhou.
这火车是开往杭州的。


🍸如果你留意的话,坐地铁时会有这个用法。例如上海地铁2号线上,经常会听到的:

🍸本次列车终点站广兰路,到浦东国际机场方向的乘客请在广兰路换乘。The terminal station is Guanglan Road. You can transfer to the train bound for Pudong International Airport at Guanglan Road.

3)be bound to表示“一定会;很可能会”,英文解释为“certain or likely to happen, or to do or be sth”举个🌰:

There are bound to be changes when the new system is introduced.

引进新系统后一定会发生变化。

The theatre managed to boost its audiences by cutting ticket prices.
剧院设法通过降低票价来增加观众数量。

📍“佩洛西有病还是先治病吧”文中提到be boosted,get boosted用来指打了加强针(疫苗),也有说booster shot/booster dose.


tweak

可以作名词,也可以作动词,表示“稍稍调整(机器、系统等);稍稍改进”,英文解释为“to make slight changes to a machine, system, etc. to improve it举个🌰:
I think you'll have to tweak these figures a little before you show them to the boss.
我想你得略微改动一下这些数字再让老板过目。

📍此前在浴霸能不能?欲罢不能!一文中讲述苹果发布的新版Apple Watch Series 5仅仅相对上一个版本没有太大更新时就提到:The Apple Watch Series 5 features a slightly tweaked design. Apple Watch Series 5的设计略有调整。


shut-eye


表示“睡眠”,相当于sleep,举个🌰:

You look exhausted! Try to get some shut-eye on the train.

你看起来很疲惫!尽量在火车上睡一会儿吧。



2. Put Your Alarm Out of Reach 把你的闹钟放远一点


Let’s face it: Unless you have another hour or 2 to sleep, hitting the snooze button won’t really help you feel less tired. But there’s another reason to get up when you first hear that annoying beep. When you get up and go to bed at the same time every day, you’ll keep your body’s internal clock in sync. That makes you more alert in the morning, and sleepy when it’s time to call it a night


让我们面对现实吧:除非你还有一两个小时的睡眠时间,否则按下“小睡”(稍后提醒)按钮并不能真正帮助你减轻疲劳。但是当你第一次听到那恼人的蜂鸣声时就应该起床还有一个原因。当你每天在同一时间起床和睡觉时,会使身体内部生物钟保持同步。这会让你在早上更加清醒,而在晚上该睡觉的时候感到困倦。


snooze

可以作名词,也可以作动词,snooze /snuːz/ 表示“打盹,小睡”,英文解释为“to sleep lightly for a short while”举个🌰:

The hardest part was syncing the music to the video.
最难的部分就是使音乐和图像同步。

📍其中的score,熟词僻义,表示“乐谱”(a written or printed copy of a piece of music, especially for a large group of performers, or the music itself),如:a musical score 乐谱。


call it a night


示“今晚到此为止,收工,可以睡觉了”,英文解释为“to stop what you have been doing in the evening or night, often in order to go to bed”



3. Let in the Light 让光线照进来


As soon as you wake, open the curtains or blinds. Or step outside. Natural light gets your brain going and keeps your body clock on track. If it’s gloomy out, turn on the lights. A light-up alarm clock can help. And it may be less jarring than a noisy alarm. If you have seasonal affective disorder or depression, try a light box (or sunlamp). It can lift your mood and help you feel more awake. 


醒来后,打开窗帘或百叶窗。或者走到外面。自然光让你的大脑运转,让你的生物钟保持在正轨上。如果外面很暗,打开灯。发光的闹钟会有所帮助,而且可能比嘈杂的闹钟不那么刺耳。如果你有季节性情感障碍或抑郁,试试灯箱(或太阳灯)。它可以改善你的情绪,帮助你感觉更清醒。 



blind

blind /blaɪnd/ 作动词,1)表示“使变瞎;使失明”,英文解释为“to make someone unable to see, permanently or for a short time”;

2)表示“蒙蔽;使无辨别力”,英文解释为“to make someone unable to notice or understand something”举个🌰:
We shouldn't let our prejudices blind us to the facts of the situation.
我们一定不能让偏见蒙蔽自己而看不清实际形势。

作名词,熟词僻义,表示“百叶窗;窗帘”,英文解释为“a cover for a window made of a single piece or strips of cloth, paper, or plastic that is pulled up or down by a string”


gloomy

3)表示“灰暗的,幽暗的”,英文解释为“dark in a way that is unpleasant and makes it difficult to see”举个🌰:
What gloomy weather we're having!
今天天气太阴沉了!

📍《经济学人》(The Economist)一篇针对《没有工作的世界》的书评文章中提到:This gloomy view of the impact of technology is plausible. 这种对技术影响的悲观论调似乎言之有理。



jarring


jarring /ˈdʒɑː.rɪŋ/ 表示“(使)感到不快的;刺激(神经等)的”,英文解释为“a jarring sight, sound, or experience is so different or unexpected that it has a strong and unpleasant effect on something or someone”如:a jarring cry/chord 刺耳的哭喊声/不协调的和音。



4. Enjoy a Morning Splurge 享受清晨时光


To curb your urge to stay under the covers, plan something to look forward to each morning. You could read your favorite web site over a tasty breakfast, or go for a walk in a scenic park. Anything that excites you or brings you pleasure helps to rouse your brain and makes you less sleepy.


为了抑制你躲在被窝里的冲动,每天早上计划一些值得期待的事情。你可以边吃美味的早餐边浏览你最喜欢的网站,或者去风景优美的公园散步。任何让你兴奋或带给你快乐的事情都有助于唤醒你的大脑,使你不那么困倦。



splurge


splurge /splɜːdʒ/ 可以作名词也可以作动词,表示“乱花(钱);挥霍(尤指购买奢侈品)”,英文解释为“to spend a lot of money on buying goods, especially expensive goods”举个🌰:

5. Sip a Cup of Joe 喝杯咖啡


Just make sure your java’s the caffeinated kind. Caffeine pumps up brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. They boost your mood, spike your energy levels, and help you focus. (Regular coffee drinkers are also less likely to get the blues than those who rarely or never sip the strong stuff.) Not a fan? Opt for a cup of black or green tea. They have caffeine plus other healthy compounds.


只要确保你的咖啡是含咖啡因的那种。咖啡因能激发大脑化学物质,如血清素(serotonin)和多巴胺(dopamine)。它们能改善你的情绪,提高你的能量水平,帮助你集中注意力。(经常喝咖啡的人也比那些很少或从不喝浓咖啡的人感到郁郁不乐的可能性要低。)不喜欢?来一杯红茶或绿茶。它们含有咖啡因和其他健康化合物。


sip

作名词,表示“一小口(饮料)”,英文解释为“a very small amount of a drink that you take into your mouth”如:to have/take a sip of water 喝一小口水。

This tea is very hot, so sip it carefully.
这茶很烫,喝的时候小心点。



a cup of joe


相当于A cup of coffee,表示“一杯咖啡”,为什么这么说?有多种说法,其中一种说法是,a cup of jamoke,java和mocha的缩写变成joe. (Possibly a shortening of "cup of jamoke", from java + mocha: this origin was given in a military officer's manual from 1931, around when the term first appeared.)


📍另一个种说法是:Another theory suggests that US soldiers in World War I (1914-1918) referred to a serving of instant coffee made by the G. Washington Coffee Refining Company (founded in 1910) as a "cup of George", and that the common abbreviation of the name "George" ("Geo.") was then read as "Joe".

spike

剑桥词典公布2020年度词汇:Quarantine中同样出现了这个词,1)作名词,可以理解为“峰值”或者“激增;猛增;急升”,英文解释为“a sharp increase in the magnitude or concentration of something”,如:a spike in oil prices 油价的急剧上涨。
