31、y case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning. But after a while I couldnt ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my produc

32、tivity (效率) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong. The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing youre

33、 going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail. There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when youre tire

34、d and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. Youre wasting time lying in bed awake. My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when Im sleepy

35、 and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.However, going to bed only when Im sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can

53、?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”      I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer, I offered suggest
