change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. habits can help, dr. cleiman believes. if your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then, you will work better at your low point. get off to a slow start which saves your energy. get up with a leisurely yawn (哈欠) and stretch（伸懒腰）. sit on the edge of
