如果你正為某些事情擔心或是在工作上、學業中承受著很大的壓力，你極有可能睡得不好。憂慮使你無法入睡，你在床上輾轉反側，直到清晨時分才能睡得著覺。醒來的時候，你并不覺得精神煥發神清氣爽，而是精疲力竭，無法迎接新一天的來臨。
近期的報紙上刊登了一篇亨利•溫可爾博士的文章，題目是《壓力與睡眠》．溫可爾博士認為壓力和睡眠不足有直接的聯系。他說：“我們越是憂心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越沒有辦法對抗憂慮。”他還補充說：“如果能找到使自己睡個好覺的方法，我們就能有足夠的精力解決我們的問題。”
那么，究竟什么是良好的睡眠呢?研究表明，保持健康需要的睡眠數量是因人而異的。7小時是平均數。然而令人不解的是，延長睡眠時間，非但不能讓人精神煥發，反而會引起頭痛。
溫可爾博士認為睡前的準備工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人臨睡前應該稍稍休息一下，做點有助于放松的事，可以看看電視或聽聽音樂。早晨做運動也會使人在身體上和精神上有疲勞感。睡前喝點飲料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，因為它們含有的咖啡因會使你無法入眠。溫可爾博士指出：“關燈之后，你就該集中精神放松你的肌肉。慢慢地從腳開始放松，就會不知不覺地進入夢鄉了。” |
