  如果你正为某些事情担心或是在工作上、学业中承受着很大的压力，你极有可能睡得不好。忧虑使你无法入睡，你在床上辗转反侧，直到清晨时分才能睡得着觉。醒来的时候，你并不觉得精神焕发神清气爽，而是精疲力竭，无法迎接新一天的来临。
  近期的报纸上刊登了一篇亨利?温可尔博士的文章，题目是《压力与睡眠》。温可尔博士认为压力和睡眠不足有直接的联系。他说：“我们越是忧心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越没有办法对抗忧虑。”他还补充说：“如果能到使自己睡个好觉的方法，我们就能有足够的精力解决
我们的问题。”
  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数量是因人而异的。7小时是平均数。然而令人不解的是，延长睡眠时间，非但不能让人精神焕发，反而会引起头痛。温可尔博士认为睡前的准备工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人临睡前应该稍稍休息一下，做点有助于放松的事，可以看看电视或听听音乐。早晨做运动也会使人在身体上和精神上有疲劳感。睡前喝点饮料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，因为它们含有的会使你无法入眠。温可尔博士指出：“关灯之后，你就该集中精神放松你的肌肉。慢慢地从脚开始放松，就会不知不觉地进入梦乡了。”
