　　编者：每晚的睡眠质量对我们来说真的是太重要了。它不仅会影响到我们第二天的精神状态、情绪、食欲等方面，更在长期影响到我们的健康。如何睡得好，需要我们多花点心思琢磨琢磨。

　　How To Get A Good Night's Sleep : This film shows you what you can do to make sure you get a good night's sleep. VideoJug presents you with some simple steps on how to sleep well, from your bed to your diet, our aim is to help you sleep better at night.

　　如何睡一晚好觉：这个短片将会告诉你怎么做才能睡上一晚好觉。VideoJug向你介绍一些简单的方法，从床铺到饮食，来让你获得优质的睡眠。

　　Step 1: Food and drink Avoid coffee, tea, cocoa and cola drinks late in the evening as they all contain caffeine, which may keep you awake. Remember, your nightcap has a price. Malted food drinks - like Ovaltine - are much better. Bedtime snacks can help too. But don't stuff yourself,beacause your body will have to stay awake half the night digesting your meal, so you won't feel rested in the morning. Milk, turkey and peanuts all contain chemicals that help the brain relax. Why not have a turkey and peanut butter sandwich?

　　1. 关于饮食

　　晚上不要很晚了还喝咖啡、可可和可乐等饮料，因为他们都含有咖啡因，而咖啡因会让你难以入睡。记住，睡前喝饮料会有副作用的。麦芽食品饮料如阿华田就好的多了。睡前吃点点心也能助你入睡。但是不要吃的太多，因为吃太多的话你的肚子就会花上大半夜的时间去消化，你到早上醒来时就会感到没有休息好。牛奶、火鸡肉和花生豆含有帮助大脑放松的化学成分。来块火鸡肉加花生酱的三明治如何?

　　Step 2: Sleeping position Another thing that affects the quality of your sleep is the position you sleep in. We all have our preferences, but for a perfect night's sleep you should try to keep your body in a 'midline' position, where both your head and neck are kept roughly straight. All you need is a properly supportive and comfortable bed and some strategically placed pillows. If you sleep on your side, place a pillow between your knees, this will help support your hips. If you sleep on your back: Place pillows under your knees to take the load off the lower back. Make sure there are enough pillows to support the neck and head in the midline position, thereby preventing the head and neck tilting forward or back. Sleeping on your front isn't recommended. Head and neck are twisted in this position, which is bound to give you aches and pains.

　　2. 睡姿

　　影响你失眠质量的另一个因素就是你的睡姿。我们都有自己喜欢的睡姿，但是为了睡得好，我们应该尝试"中线"睡姿，头和脖子保持在一条直线上。这样，你还需要的就是一张舒适的床，和几个精心摆放的枕头。如果你选择侧卧睡姿，在两膝之间放个枕头，这样能让你的髋关节放松。如果你喜欢平躺着睡觉，把枕头放到膝盖下，以便减轻背部下方的压力。采用"中线"睡姿时，一定要确保有足够多的枕头来支撑你的头部和脖子，以免让头和脖子前后倾斜。趴着睡是不可取的。这种睡姿，你的脖子是弯曲的，会让你感到疼痛。

　　Step 3: The 4 Rs Getting to sleep is all about the 4 Rs - Regularity, Routine, a Restful bedroom and the Right bed. p

　　3.4个R

　　入睡一定要谨记4个R：Regularity(规律)，Routine(习惯)，a Restful bedroom(安静的卧室)和the Right bed(舒服的床)。
