Forsome people the peak comes during the afternoon .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’llbe 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 theseenergy cycles mean, and which cycle 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 feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract(对抗) 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 earlier 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 edgeof the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor .Avoid the troublesome searchfor clean clothes by laying them out the night before .whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasksrequiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.56.
