Unit 2 A STARTING TIME:MINUTES__________SECONDS_________
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(period of time).
During the hours when you labour 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 highest point .For some people the highest point comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so , but it leads to such familiar rather long speeches 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 highest point in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy 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 your cycle to some degree 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(collect one’s energy) and work better at your low point.
