【推荐3】Night Milk and Sleep
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off — if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

【推荐3】The next day I looked for a pen and some paper among my things. I made two lists: one of all the bad things about my situation and another of all the good things.

BAD

I am alone. There is nobody here to talk to or to help me.

__________

I don’t have much protection against wild animals. Nobody is going to come and save me.

GOOD

I am alive. My friends are dead.

It’s hot here, so I don’t need warm clothes. There aren’t any wild animals here.

I can live well because 1 was able to save a lot of useful things from the ship.

I looked at my lists and I thought, “These lists show something important. We can always find something good in a bad situation If we look for it. I must stop feeling sad and sorry for myself. My new life is here, on this island. I must make it as comfortable as I can.”

I started by making my house stronger. I built thick walls and put branches on the roof to keep out the rain. I put up some shelves and put my things on them. I made some furniture—two tables and a chair. They weren’t very beautiful but they were very useful. I made a small cave at the back of my house. It was cool and a good place to keep food. I called it my “kitchen”.

Time passed quickly because I was always busy. In the mornings I went for a long walk in the woods and hills with my dog. I caught birds and small animals for food. When I came back, I worked until about eleven o’clock. Then I prepared something to eat. I rested between midday and two o’clock because it was very hot. In the evenings I did some more work or I took out my pen and ink. I wrote about my life on the island. At seven o’clock I went to bed because it got dark early on the island. Sometimes it rained all day and the wind was strong, so I had to stay inside.
