If You Wake Up in the Middle of the Night, Lie in Bed Until You Eventually Fall Back Asleep

如果半夜醒来，要躺在床上直到再次睡着

Waking up in the middle of the night is the pits, but it happens to all of us. We all hope to quickly fall back asleep, and so we tend to stay in bed hoping it’ll happen any minute now.

半夜醒来最糟心了，但我们都会遇到。我们都希望能很快再次入睡，所以我们会躺在床上期待着分分钟能睡着。

If that doesn’t happen, though, within 15 minutes, most experts recommend getting out of bed to do something that occupies our bodies and brains without overstimulating us. Try not to check the clock either.

如果，过了15分钟后还没有睡着，大多数专家建议我们应该起床做一些不太刺激的体力活或脑力活。也不要看表几点了。
