things you might have been told about sleep but aren’t completely true.

你可能听说过的有关睡眠的事，这些都不是完全正确的。

Power Naps Will Make You Feel Refreshed

打个高质量的盹可恢复元气

Naps are awesome, but they’re not all equally restorative. Depending on how long you nap, you might end up feeling groggy when you wake up. Aim for about 20 minutes if you want a boost in energy and mental alertness.

打盹的作用很神奇，但并不总能让你恢复活力。这要看你睡了多长时间，也许你醒来还是昏昏沉沉。如果你想变得精力充沛、头脑清醒，就睡20分钟吧。

You Can Catch Up on Sleep on Weekends

周末可以补觉

When we lose sleep during the week, we accumulate a kind of sleep“debt.”Think you can pay that debt back by sleeping in on Saturday and/or Sunday? Not so fast. This might actually make you sleepier the next week. Instead of waking up later on the weekends, you’re better off going to sleep earlier or perhaps taking a nap in the afternoon.

如果我们工作日期间没有睡够，我们就欠下了睡眠“债”。你想的是周六日多睡一点就可以偿债吗？并不尽然，而且你下周很可能会更困倦。与其周末睡懒觉，你还不如早点上床，或者睡个午觉。
