He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.你觉得起床早晨如此艰难，它的痛苦？这可以称之为懒惰，但克莱特曼博士有一种新的解释。他已经证明了，每个人都有一个每日的能量循环。 During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot”. Thats
13、true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak, For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语)as: “ Ge
