重置內部時鐘
Leo: Hey Sabrina, I slept in until 11 today but I still feel super tired. Do you know why?
里歐:嗨,莎賓娜,我今天睡到11點,但我還是覺得超疲倦的。你知道為什麼嗎?
super (adv.)非常=very, extremely
Sabrina: I read something that might help. Our bodies have an internal clock that controls when we feel sleepy and when we feel awake, called a circadian rhythm. If we sleep too much or too little, it can mess it up.
莎賓娜:我讀到一些可能有幫助的資料。我們的身體有一個控制我們感到困倦和清醒的內部時鐘,稱為生理時鐘。如果我們睡得太多或太少,它可能會混亂。
internal (adj.)內部的external (adj.)外部的sleepy (adj.)很睏的、昏昏欲睡的awake (adj.)清醒的rhythm (n.)節奏、韻律
Leo: Oh, okay. So what exactly is circadian rhythm?
里歐:哦,好的。那生理時鐘究竟是什麼?
Sabrina: It’s like a 24-hour pattern that repeats itself based on day and night cycles. When we get off track, we can feel tired and have trouble sleeping.
莎賓娜:它就像一個24小時的規律模式,跟著晝夜交替而重複。當我們偏離這個規律時,我們會感到疲倦,並且難以入睡。
get off track 脫離軌道、偏離正軌
Leo: That makes sense. So how do I fix it?
里歐:有道理。那我該怎麼恢復規律呢?
make sense 有道理、說得通
Sabrina: The article I read said that spending time in the morning sunlight and getting some exercise outside can help reset your internal clock. It’s best to do it at the same time every day.
莎賓娜:我讀到的文章說,早晨花時間曬太陽和在室外運動可以幫助重置你的內部時鐘。最好每天都在同一個時間做這件事。

Leo: Interesting. I think I’ve been staying up way too late watching Netflix, so that might be why I’m not sleeping well. I`m going to try going to bed earlier tonight and take a walk in the morning.
里歐:真有趣。我想我睡不好的原因可能是因為我一直熬夜看Netflix。今晚我打算早點睡覺,明天早上去散步。

Sabrina: That’s a great plan, Leo! To sleep better, it’s important to have a regular sleep schedule and get some sunlight during the day. Avoiding screens before bedtime can also make it easier to fall asleep. Good luck getting some rest!
