Whether you love or hate mornings, they’re a fact of life. If you dread them, here are some ways to make them less awful. If you’re a morning person, these same tips can make mornings even better!

Dread:懼怕、害怕、擔心
morning person:早起充滿活力的人(≠earlier riser)

A good morning starts the night before. Be sure to get an adequate amount of sleep. Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep to feel their best during the day. If you must get up at 5 or 6 a.m., go to bed early to get your eight hours. Turn off the TV, computer or smartphone and hit the hay. When you get enough sleep, you won’t feel the urge to hit the snooze button. That will make your day better, too. You can get out of bed on time.

adequate:充足的、足夠的、適當的
hit the hay:去睡覺、就寢
urge:衝動、迫切的需要、強烈的欲望
snooze button:貪睡按鈕

Turn on some music in the morning. Play any tunes you like; it doesn’t matter. Just turn on something that makes you feel good. You’ll feel much happier as you start the day.

tune:歌曲、曲調、音樂


文法:
fact of life = something that is true and will never change
(生命中無法改變的現實狀況)

特別補充:
night owl
:夜貓子
crack of dawn:黎明
sleep in:睡到很晚起床
catchy:動聽易記的
temperament:氣質、性格
