Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy-peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles each member of the family has.

You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharp hours.

1.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Change Your Habits                      B.Save Your Energy

C.Daily Energy Cycle                       D.Temperature-and-energy Peak

2.If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_______.

A.he is a lazy person

B.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle

C.lie is not sure when his energy is low

D.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

3.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?

A.Unawareness of energy cycles

B.Familiar monologues.

C.A change in a family member's energy cycle.

D.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.

4.If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should____________.

A.change his energy cycle                  B.overcome his laziness

C.get up earlier than usual                  D.go to bed earlier

    Simplify.People don’t interpret what simplify means in a correct way.It’s not a way to

remove work from your life.When you focus on simplifying your life,you free up energy and

time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here.

  Effort.Creating a great life requires that you make some adjustments.It may mean

re.evaluating how you spend your time,or choosing to spend your money in a different way.

It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy.Life will reward your best effort.

  Create priorities.It’s easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets

your attention,instead of intentionally using the time,energy and money you have in a way

that’s important to you.Focus on getting rid of the obstacles that get in the way of you making

sure you are honoring your priorities.

  Reserves.A great life is the result of having reserves--reserves of things,time,space,

energy,money.Reserves are important because they reduce the fear of consequences,and that

allows you to make decisions that are based on what you really want instead of what the fear

decides for you.

  Eliminate distractions.Look around at someone’s life you admire.Ask them how they did

it.Find ways to free up your mental energy for things that are more important to you.

  Thoughts.A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts so that you accept and

allow for the possibility that it actually can happen to you! People who have specific goals

look for ways to achieve them.Believing there is a solution to the same old problems you

meet with year after year is really important to creating a life that you love.

    Start.There’s the old saying everyone’s familiar with”a journey of a thousand miles

begins with a single step.”There’s no better time to start than today.Today,right now,is the

right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart’s desires.It’s what you do

TODAY that will make a difference in your life tomorrow.
