How To Recover From an All—Nighter
The Science of Sleep Institute presents all—nighter emergency(熬夜急救法). So you couldn't sleep last night, you'd like nothing more than to go back to bed, but you've got a long day of work. Don't worry!
First, don't hit the snooze(小睡)button. Scientists say those extra tiny minutes of sleep don't actually make you more rested. Research suggests eating within—an hour of waking up boosts your mood. And no sugar, it will give you a crash later. Stick to whole grains and protein.
Then get outside! Bright natural light raises your body temperature and increase your alertness. Scientists say even sun in your eyes can be helpful.
Have another cup of coffee soon after you get to the office too. It takes about 30 minutes for caffeine to kick in, so you'll need to increase before a big meeting start. Also have a light lunch of grains, veggies and lean protein.
Now you're about to get off the work. Research suggests sleep—deprived(缺乏睡眠的)people can't focus for more than about 10 minutes at a time. So just keep your spirits up through stuff like replying to emails or sorting files. And finally, get out of the office a little early if possible.
