Trouble Sleeping? Just Breathe
失眠有困难？ 试下深呼吸～

If your mind is racing and you are having difficulty falling asleep, a few minutes of simple but effective breathing exercises can help calm your nervous system on a chemical level and lead to greater success in hitting the sack.There are dozens of different methods and exercises you can explore through a good teacher or book.
如果你的大脑经常高速运转，训觉方面又有问题，试下做几分钟简单而有效的呼吸运动，能够科学地舒援你紧张的神经并且逐渐成功地，帮你克复这个困难。无论通过你的老师或者书籍，你都可以找到几十种不同类型的方法和运动。


When you are feeling restless at bedtime, head outside (weather permitting obviously, but even in wintertime, you can certainly spend a couple minutes on a balcony or porch in brisk air), sit in a comfortable chair and begin the exercise.
每当你在睡眠时间感到心境不平静，试下走出户外（当然要系天气允许的情况下啦，但即使在冬天，你都可以在阳台或走廊比较宽趟的空间下待上一小段时间），坐在一张舒适的凳子上开始（有痒）运动。

You will likely have a really hard time focusing your mind on only the breathing exercise. Establish a rule that whenever your mind wanders away from the breathing exercise to other random thoughts, you have to start over. With practice, you'll develop the esteemed ability to relax and center -- not just to calm the mind for bed but any time the stresses of life are closing in.
你好可能在刚开始练习呼吸运动的时间遇到很大困难。尝试建立一个规则，就是每当你的思绪开始游离呼吸运动，想到其它事的时候，你必须令自己重头开始过。慢慢下来，你就会学识纯粹为了轻松和集中而做运动——而不是为了平静思绪便于睡觉，还可以每当面临生活中的压力时候，用作平静你的身心。
