N: how come you're still up? Shouldn't you be asleep by now?
G: I've been having a hard time sleeping lately.
N: as far as I know, insomnia is usually caused by stress. Are you stressed at all?
G: well, I'm really worried about my grades. I didn't think this course would be so stressful.
N: you're a good student. I'm sure you can do well. What you need to do is to relax.
G: you're probably right. I just wish it were that simple. How can I stop feeling so anxious all the time?
N: taking a yoga class or learning some relaxation techniques can help you cope with your stress.
G: I don't really have time to learn anything new. I need to spend my time studying!
N: you need to take some breaks throughout the day. Studying all day isn’t very usually effective.
G: you’re right. I usually end up starting at my computer or checking my email instead of doing my work for class.
N: besides, it’s not diffciult to learn yoga. In fact, I can teach you a move that’s supposed to help you fall asleep! You just have to sit down like this, bend over and breath in deeply.
G: that’s fantastic. I’m going to go try that out in my room now. good night!
N: good night, sleep tight; don’t let the bed bugs bite!
你怎么还醒着?难道昨晚到现在你都没合眼吗?
我最近一直很难入睡。
据我说知，失眠往往是由压力引起的。你压力很大吗?
是的，我真的很担心我的考试成绩。我没想到这门课压力会这么重。
你是个好学生。我相信你能学的很好。你需要做的是放松心情。
你也许是对的。我只是希望能简简单单的。我怎么才能不这么焦虑呢?
上个瑜伽班或者学习一些能够让自己放松的方法，这些能够帮你减压。
我实在没时间学习任何新玩意了。我得把时间都用来学习。
你一天中总得休息几次。整天都在学习，那效率也不会太高的。
你说的对，我常常对着电脑发呆，或者收看电子邮件，而作业却没写。
另外，学瑜伽其实不怎么难。其实，我可以教你一个动作，没准儿可以帮你入睡。你只需要像这样坐着，弯腰然后深呼吸。
这太神奇了。我现在就回我房间试着做做看。晚安!
晚安，睡得香点，别让臭虫咬到!(英国儿歌)
