阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
◆Boil three to four large lettuce leaves in a cup of water for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, add two mints, and drink just before you go to bed. Lettuce contains a sleep-inducing substance called lactucarium, which affects the brain similarly to opium. Unlike opium, of course, you won't run the risk of addiction!
◆Give yourself a massage. Slowly move the tips of your fingers around your eyes in a slow, circular motion. After a minute, move down to your mouth, then to your neck and the back of your head. Continue down your body until you find you're so relaxed you're ready to drop off to sleep.
◆Take a hot bath 90 to 120 minutes before bedtime. A research study found that women with sleeplessness who took a hot bath during this period of time (water temperature approximately 105°F), slept much better that night. The bath increased their center body temperature, which then immediately dropped once they got out of the bath, readying them for sleep.
◆Keep a notebook at your bedside along with a gentle night-light and pen. Then, if you wake in the middle of the night and your mind starts going, you can quickly write what you dream about on the page, returning to sleep quickly by knowing you “caught” those thoughts.
If you're tired of feeling like you're not at your best or like you're not getting the sleep you need, then it's time to take action! Sign-up for the National Sleep Foundation's Sleep Challenge today!
