苏打水，它无色无味，可也无所不在，适合任何口味的饮料。

 

 

她迷恋旅行和发现新事物，乐观的她总会适时转换迷途的沮丧。可是，因为她是苏打水，看来总是透明澄净，她高悬的招牌微笑底下，到底快乐的成分有多少，而心事被稀释了几多？很少会有人真正了解...

 

 

对于爱情，苏打水宁愿放在心里。

 

既不用尴尬的表白然后遭到拒绝，又不会相爱容易相处难的惨烈分手。她宁愿继续潇洒自在的活着。

苏打水不容易喜欢上一个人。

 

朋友们说苏打水要求太高，其实并非这样，她注重的是感觉。 她愿意用一秒钟爱上一个人，然后再去忘记。 

 

朋友们说苏打水太理智，可是谁又了解，她的心，容量很小，只能有一个，且不具修改性。除了那个人，其他所有自动归为一种程序。

朋友们说苏打水太花心，见一个爱一个，她会哈哈一笑，说“哪有？冤啊！”。

 

苏打水会否认在自己的身上发生一见钟情，承认爱上一个人这钟事似乎是在侮辱自己的智商。

 

苏打水很多时候对于感情反应非常迟钝。有时容易出现弄不清自己的感觉，不清楚自己想做什么，觉得迷惘。

 

苏打水很被动，拒绝爱情公式，在对方没有非常明确地表示感情时会退怯，觉得爱情是两厢情愿，不想也不会去勉强对方。

 

她忽冷忽热，犹豫不决，极其矛盾。在没有完全确定前，决不轻易付出感情，因为怕失去。也许缺乏安全感，也许是对自己的保护，也可以算作是一种自私。

爱，这个字对她来说，太沉重珍贵了，无法用语言诠释。一旦说出口，害怕会变得面目全非，失去本来的价值。所以，不轻易说。

苏打水最擅长的是难为自己。不想爱她和她爱的人难过，只好让自己承受。总是认为自己有超乎寻常的承受力，把自己想得太坚强太强大，而把别人想得太脆弱。

当看到一个苏打水在疯狂地快乐或悲伤时，请千万不要被迷惑，她总是不由自主地交错操纵着快乐与悲伤。

其实并不像看到的那么快乐，同样的，也不像看到的那么悲伤。

只是悲伤时，喜欢带上快乐的面具....

只有真正懂得品味苏打水的人，才能看见眼底那一缕似有似无的哀伤，才能明白是什么让她如此的义无反顾，是什么让她变得如此忽冷忽热捉摸不定，才能体会她的坚强只是竭力掩饰的脆弱。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sleep is one of the richest topics in science today: why we need it, why it can be hard to get, and how that affects everything from our athletic performance to our income. Daniel Kripke, co-director of research at the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center in La Jolla, Calif., has looked at the most important question of all. In 2002, he compared death rates among more than 1 million American adults who, as part of a study on cancer prevention, reported their average nightly amount of sleep. To many, his results were surprising, but they've since been corroborated by similar studies in Europe and East Asia. Kripke explains.

 

Q: How much sleep is ideal?

A: Studies show that people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, as they report, live the longest. And people who sleep 8 hr. or more, or less than 6.5 hr., they don't live quite as long. There is just as much risk associated with sleeping too long as with sleeping too short. The big surprise is that long sleep seems to start at 8 hr. Sleeping 8.5 hr. might really be a little worse than sleeping 5 hr..

Morbidity [or sickness] is also "U-shaped" in the sense that both very short sleep and very long sleep are associated with many illnesses—with depression, with obesity—and therefore with heart disease—and so forth. But the [ideal amount of sleep] for different health measures isn't all in the same place. Most of the low points are at 7 or 8 hr., but there are some at 6 hr. and even at 9 hr. I think diabetes is lowest in 7-hr. sleepers [for example]. But these measures aren't as clear as the mortality data.

I think we can speculate [about why people who sleep from 6.5 to 7.5 hr. live longer], but we have to admit that we don't really understand the reasons. We don't really know yet what is cause and what is effect. So we don't know if a short sleeper can live longer by extending their sleep, and we don't know if a long sleeper can live longer by setting the alarm clock a bit earlier. We're hoping to organize tests of those questions.

One of the reasons I like to publicize these facts is that I think we can prevent a lot of insomnia and distress just by telling people that short sleep is O.K. We've all been told you ought to sleep 8 hr., but there was never any evidence. A very common problem we see at sleep clinics is people who spend too long in bed. They think they should sleep 8 or 9 hr., so they spend [that amount of time] in bed, with the result that they have trouble falling asleep and wake up a lot during the night. Oddly enough, a lot of the problem [of insomnia] is lying in bed awake, worrying about it. There have been many controlled studies in the U.S., Great Britain and other parts of Europe that show that an insomnia treatment that involves getting out of bed when you're not sleepy and restricting your time in bed actually helps people to sleep more. They get over their fear of the bed. They get over the worry, and become confident that when they go to bed, they will sleep. So spending less time in bed actually makes sleep better. It is in fact a more powerful and effective long-term treatment for insomnia than sleeping pills.
