Researchers define self-control or self-discipline as "ability to control or change one's inner responses". However, some people think that as an immediate consequence of leading lives of constant self-control, they aren't likely to gain a lot of pleasure from life.
To start, 414 adults completed on online survey. In the survey, they rated their self-control by indicating how much they agreed with 14 statements, such as "I indeed do certain things that are bad for me, if they are fun."
In their study, 205 adults were given smart phones and required to report their emotions at random moments throughout the week. If so, they had to report how hard they tried to resist them, and whether they eventually ended up acting on them.
The researchers found that the more self-control people had，the more satisfied they were with their lives in the long run. In fact, such people's increased happiness to a large extent accounted for the increased life satisfaction.
These researchers also figured out that people high in self-control are simply less likely to find themselves in situations where that's even an issue. They don't waste time fighting inner battles over whether or not to eat a second piece of cake. And that, it would seem, makes them happier……even if occasionally a little bit sad.
A. In a word, they are not bothered about such little desires.
B. Researchers checked these general ideas through a survey and study.
C. It is generally believed that in the long run self-control can make people happier.
D. Meanwhile, they were also asked to report whether they were experiencing any desires.
E. However, people with more self-control were also more likely to be happy in the short run.
F. But they are still uncertain why some people are more able to control their inner responses.
G. Most adults reported they failed to control their desire to play video games before an exam.
If you're having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.
⒈Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}For example, if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 pm, because that's when you start to feel sleepy, and it's also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 am, you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1am.
⒉Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
⒊{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Exposure to light during the time when you're supposed to be sleeping can destroy your body's internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim(暗淡的)night light. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They include windows, LED clocks and computer lights.
⒋Change your sleeping position. You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
