26、调整自己的生物钟。但这不止是强迫自己早点上床那么简单（大脑很兴奋的时候，也睡不着）。这种训练需要人为制造时差感，但不必为此穿越时区。坚持训练，直到体内的生物钟调整到位，然后保持新的节律。 首先，每天把起床时间提前 20分钟。如果一般在早上 8点起床，而你希望提前到 6点，星期一就把闹钟定在 7点 40，星期二定在 7点 20，依此类推。其次，每天醒来后，不要赖床，要让自己暴露在光线下。从理论上讲，每天晚上你会比前一天提前 20分钟感到睡意。为了增强效果，临睡前应该避免电脑、电视等发出的亮光。但调整生物钟要下定决心，很多人觉得困难，有些人则根本做不到。起得很早的人和长期熬夜的人都很难改变作息规律
