D(2025·苏州市昆山期末)
Bedtime comes every night, but what if you're not feeling sleepy? Should you still head to bed even if you know you'll just lie there with your eyes open? This problem has been around for as long as people have been trying to get a good night's sleep.
In order to find the best solution for you, it's necessary to find out what's keeping you awake at night. You might be excited about something that happened during the day. Perhaps you're nervous about what's coming up the next day. Maybe you don't like sleeping alone in your room. All of these could be reasons for your sleeping problems. However, there are several steps you can take to help you solve them.
One thing that can help is talking to a parent or another trusted adult about what you're worrying about at bedtime. For example, if you're nervous about taking a test, or upset about having too much stress, it can really help to tell somebody. Knowing that someone has listened to you can ease(宽慰) your mind, helping you get a good rest.
Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is another good choice. If there's anything in your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious at night, such as a picture that looks strange in the dark, or a noisy tap in the bathroom, be sure to ask your parents to move or fix it. Also, make sure to keep electronic devices like mobile phones or iPads away from your bed. They can keep you excited, and make it harder for you to fall asleep.
If you are usually restless around bedtime, doing certain things to relax beforehand(预先) may help you fall asleep. Try to take more time to wind down by taking a warm bath, or listening to music for at least 10 minutes before you go to sleep. It's also helpful to follow a bedtime routine(惯例) and go to sleep at the same time every night. This way, your body will receive the message that it's almost time to sleep. Your body will learn to start feeling tired, and it's worth the time and effort to develop a good sleeping habit.
