生活壓力增大、睡眠已經(jīng)成為困擾很多人的一件事情。睡到自然醒、睡個(gè)回籠覺，儼然已經(jīng)成為很奢侈的一件事情。今天我們就來盤點(diǎn)一下那些跟睡覺有關(guān)的表達(dá)。

1. 回籠覺 unprotected sleep

什么叫unprotected sleep？字面上理解是無保護(hù)的睡眠或風(fēng)險(xiǎn)睡眠，指的是turning off your alarm clock and immediately going back to sleep; risking not waking up for a job, class, or other daily task. 冒著工作、上班等遲到的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)關(guān)掉鬧鐘睡回籠覺，這是不是很多人每天生活的真實(shí)寫照？

e.g. I'm lucky that I didn't miss my final exam after having 30 minutes of unprotected sleep.

我真走運(yùn)，睡了30分鐘的回籠覺還沒錯(cuò)過期末考試。

2. 自然醒 wake up naturally without alarm clock

有研究表明早上被鬧鐘吵醒容易造成神經(jīng)衰弱現(xiàn)象，可是試問現(xiàn)在有哪個(gè)人早上不是被鬧鐘吵醒的?當(dāng)然也有鬧鐘吵不醒的筒子們。ditch the alarm clock是需要很大勇氣的！

e.g. The second school says you should listen to your body's needs and go to bed when you're tired and get up when you naturally wake up.

另外一種觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該按照你身體的需求，累了之后就睡覺，一覺睡到自然醒。

3. 那些關(guān)于“睡覺”的短語：

have a cat nap 打個(gè)小盹

e.g. After working in the garden all morning, I had a cat nap before lunch.

我在花園里干了一上午的活兒，所以午飯前小睡了一會(huì)兒。

doze off 打瞌睡

e.g. Why did you doze off again when you're at work?

你怎麼又在上班時(shí)間打瞌睡？

have a siesta 午睡

e.g. They have a siesta during the hottest part of the day.

他們會(huì)在一天中最熱的時(shí)候午睡一會(huì)兒。

do not sleep a wink 一夜沒合眼

e.g. The neighbors were having a party and we couldn't sleep a wink last night.

鄰居舉行晚會(huì)， 吵得我們一夜都沒合眼。

hit the sack 倒頭就睡

e.g. Louis was so tired that he hit the sack soon after supper.

路易斯太累了，所以吃過晚飯就早早上床睡覺了。

light sleeper 睡覺輕的人

e.g. I told my girlfriend that I'm a light sleeper, and that the slightest disturbance will wake me up.

我告訴我女朋友我睡覺很容易醒，最細(xì)小的動(dòng)靜也會(huì)把我驚醒。

sleep around the clock 睡了一整天

e.g. I'm so tired that I can sleep around the clock.

我太累了，可能已經(jīng)睡了整整一天。

caught napping 毫無準(zhǔn)備，措手不及

e.g. Their competitors are caught napping while they are responding to complex prospect requirements.

他們正在回應(yīng)復(fù)雜的潛在客戶需求，而競爭對(duì)手卻措手不及。
