Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. There was a woman living there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. I would say to myself. "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见).
Then I came to understand that I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点)?
Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, "Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?"
A. Her window was clean!
B. She got on quite well with her neighbors.
C. I should respect others' opinions and beliefs.
D. That was quite an important lesson for me.
E. Everything was unclear through the dirty window.
F. The next building was only a few feet away from mine.
G. I try to clean the window of my own world to see the world about me more clearly.
In our daily life, we have developed a lot of habits, such as, eating habit, study habit, reading habit, etc. However, taking the time to develop a sleep habit is probably the last thing on your mind and some sleep advice simply can't be forgotten. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Watching TV until you fall asleep
It has nothing to do with what you watch —TV news isn't a better pre-sleep choice than TV series. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. The bright light keeps you awake all the night. So even if you nod off (in front of the TV, for example), you probably won't stay asleep for long.
Sleeping with pets
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}. They get comfortable, and then they move. This goes on all night, and whether you admit it or not, it interrupts your ability to get the level of sleep needed to feel rested.
Eating fatty, heavy foods too close to bedtime
Heartburn (烧心，胃痛) strikes anyone of any age, but it's the most common GI disorder (胃肠失调) in older adults. If you've ever tried to go to sleep after eating a fatty meal, you've probably found the discomfort of stomach preventing you from falling asleep or staying asleep.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Remember how poorly you sleep when you have a fever—turning over and over again, never really feeling rested? Well, heavy exercise too close to bedtime has the same effect — it raises your body temperature so that your sleep is disturbed until your body temperature drops to normal, which may take several hours.
Accepting snoring (打呼噜) as normal sleep behavior
Snoring may seem as common as breathing, but it's considered the biggest sleep killer, and it's linked to several causes: sleeping on your back, being overweight, having a cold, drinking, or taking drugs. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. For the snorer, it disturbs sleep by awakening him/her every so often in order to breathe normally. For the partner, the noise can be unbearable.
A. Exercising heavily too close to bedtime B. Here are some bad habits you need to get rid of C. Most seriously, it's caused by a dangerous illness D. Here are some suggestions you'll need to follow E. Pets sleep most of the day, and they move a lot when sleeping F. Reducing your body temperature before bedtime G. Rather it's the TV's bright light that is the criminal |
