At this point, we're pretty sure if someone paid us to stand under a jet of hot water all day and think about its health benefits, we'd forego the money and do it for free. Studies have already shown that showers can awaken your mind and boost creativity, but research is supporting the idea that a hot shower before bed can also help you fall asleep. Dr. Dianna Augelli of the Center for Sleep Medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center has applied studies that support pre-bedtime baths to showering habits as well. There's some finesse to it, but the bottom line is: Hop in the shower before bed. It'll help your body cool down and relax. 在这一点上，我很确定，如果有人付钱给你，让你整天站在热水下，想想这样做的健康好处，我们会不收取钱财，免费去做的。研究已经证明淋浴可以唤醒我们的大脑、提高创造力，但研究支持这样的想法：睡前洗个热水澡有助于睡眠。纽约教会医院/威尔康奈尔医学中心睡眠医学中心的戴安娜·奥吉利已将支持睡前洗澡的研究应用到了洗澡习惯上。这肯定是有技巧的，但最起码要在睡觉前洗个澡。因为睡前洗个热水澡有利于放松身心。 Key to the whole game is timing. "You don't want to heat yourself up right before bed," Dr. Augelli told TIME Health. "Cooling down is a signal that tells us we're supposed to go to sleep." 而整个游戏中，最关键的一点在于时间。"入睡前，你并不想感到燥热吧，"奥吉利博士在接受TIME Health的访问时说道。"降温给身体发出了信号：是时候睡觉了。" |
