Have yu winterized yur hrse yet? Even thugh glbal warming may have made ur climate mre mild, many animals are still hibernating(冬眠). It’s t bad that humans can’t hibernate. In fact, as a species, we almst did.
Apparently, at times in the past, peasants in France liked a semi-state f human hibernatin. S writer Graham Rbb, a British schlar wh has studied the sleeping habits f the French peasants. As sn as the weather turned cld peple all ver France shut themselves away and practiced the frgtten art f ding nthing at all fr mnths n end.
In line with this, Jeff Warren, a prducer at CBC Radi’s The Current, tells us that the way we sleep has changed fundamentally since the inventin f artificial(人造的) lighting and the electric bulb.
When histrians began studying texts f the Middle Ages, they nticed smething referred t as “first sleep”, which was nt clarified, thugh. Nw scientists are telling us ur ancestrs mst likely slept in separate perids. The business f eight hurs’ uninterrupted sleep is a mdern inventin.
In the past, withut the artificial light f the city t bathe in, humans went t sleep when it became dark and then wke themselves arund midnight. The late night perid was knwn as “The Watch”. It was when peple actually kept watch against wild animals, althugh many f them simply mved arund r visited family and neighburs.
Accrding t sme sleep researchers, a shrt perid f insmnia(失眠) at midnight is nt a disrder. It is nrmal. Humans can experience anther state f cnsciusness arund their sleeping, which ccurs in the brief perid befre we fall asleep r wake urselves in the mrning. This perid can be an extrardinarily creative time fr sme peple. The impressive inventr, Thmas Edisn, used this state t hit upn many f his new ideas.
Playing with yur sleep rhythms can be adventurus, as anxiety may set in. Medical science desn’t help much in this case. It ffers us medicines fr a full night’s cntinuus sleep, which sunds natural ; hwever, accrding t Warren’s thery, it is really the ppsite f what we need.

Every time I read “. . . if I had the pwer f sight fr three days”, I cannt help being mved by its authr Helen Keller, an rdinary but great American wman.
I admire Helen because she is ptimistic abut life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 mnths ld. Since then she lived in a wrld f darkness and silence, and cmmunicatin seemed nly a dream fr her. But she never gave up and struggled t lead an active life. Under the guidance f her teacher, Ms Sulliven, Helen learned t read and write, and became a famus writer. Fr a disabled persn like her, this was really a wnder.
Helen has set an excellent example t all f us. Her stry tells us that we shuld value what we have and try ur best t vercme any difficulty in life.
