生活压力增大、睡眠已经成为困扰很多人的一件事情。睡到自然醒、睡个回笼觉,俨然已经成为很奢侈的一件事情。今天我们就来盘点一下那些跟睡觉有关的表达。
1. 回笼觉 unprotected sleep
什么叫unprotected sleep?字面上理解是无保护的睡眠或风险睡眠,指的是turning off your alarmclock and immediately going back to sleep; risking not waking upfor a job, class, or other daily task。冒着工作、上班等迟到的风险关掉闹钟睡回笼觉,这是不是很多人每天生活的真实写照?
e.g. I'm lucky that I didn't miss my final exam after having 30minutes of unprotected sleep。
我真走运,睡了30分钟的回笼觉还没错过期末考试。
2. 自然醒 wake up naturally without alarmclock
有研究表明早上被闹钟吵醒容易造成神经衰弱现象,可是试问现在有哪个人早上不是被闹钟吵醒的?当然也有闹钟吵不醒的筒子们。ditchthe alarm clock是需要很大勇气的!
e.g. The second school says you should listen to your body'sneeds and go to bed when you're tired and get up when you naturallywake up。
另外一种观点认为你应该按照你身体的需求,累了之后就睡觉,一觉睡到自然醒。
