19. Simmer three to four large lettuce leaves in a cup of water for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, add two sprigs of mint, and sip just before you go to bed. Lettuce contains a sleep-inducing substance called lactucarium, which affects the brain similarly to opium. Unlike opium, of course, you won't run the risk of addiction!
19.把四片大生菜叶放在水杯里慢慢煨上十五分钟。然后停止加热,往里面加两小枝薄荷,小口喝完再睡。生菜含有一种引起睡眠的物质,名叫莴苣阿片,对大脑产生的作用类似于鸦片。当然你不会上瘾,这点和鸦片不同。
20. Give yourself a massage. Slowly move the tips of your fingers around your eyes in a slow, circular motion. After a minute, move down to your mouth, then to your neck and the back of your head. Continue down your body until you find you're so relaxed you're ready to drop off to sleep. Another option: alternate massage nights with your significant other. You get Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Your significant other gets Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. You do each other on Sundays.
20.自我暗示。用指尖慢慢在眼眶周围打圈,一分钟后,手指下移到嘴边,再到颈部,最后移到脑后。继续这样一路向下,直到你发现自己足够放松,完全可以入睡。另一个方法就是和你的另一半互做按摩。一三五他/她帮你做,二四六你帮他/她做,星期天互相按摩。
