We go to bed when we're tired. Sometimes，however，we wake up feeling tired even though we've slept for ten hours. Should we get more sleep then?
We go through life thinking we've rested as long as we've gotten enough sleep. But in fact，rest is much more than our nightly hours of shut-eye. Many of us are missing out on the other types of rest that we badly need. The first type of rest we need is physical rest. I can be passive or active. Passive physical rest refers to sleeping，while active physical rest includes activities like yoga(瑜伽). These activities help your body relax.
Have you ever heard your parents or others complain that they have a hard time focusing on their work? Have they ever said that when they lie down at night to sleep，they have trouble "turning off"their brains as conversations from the day fill their thoughts? These people need mental rest. You can advise them to take a short break every two hours during their workday. These breaks remind them to slow down a bit.
The third type of rest is sensory rest. Bright lights，,computer screens and background noise can make our senses feel tired. But this problem is easy to solve. You can close your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day or put away your electronics for a while.
Then comes creative rest，Allowing yourself to take in the beauty of nature—even if it's just at a local park-provides you with this type of rest. You can also place your favorite artwork around your desk. Enjoying art is another great way to get creative rest.
The last two types of rest we need are social rest and emotional rest. Spend some time with people who can provide help. Try to open up to them and share the hard things that have been troubling you lately.
Now you know-we need much more than a good night's sleep to feel well-rested, It's time for us to focus on getting the right type of rest we need.
