They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time about eight hours after you wake up your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problem such as heart disease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can slao happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.60.

Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about his plans for the future. “Im going to college, but I need a way to pay for it,” DeLuca recalls saying. “Buck said, You should open a sandwich shop.”That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing some research, buck wrote a check for $1000. DeLuca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1000.But business didnt go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, “After six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls.” All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.DeLuca was managing the store and going to theUniversityofBridgeportat the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist inNew York. Theyd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful, we are opening a second store.” And they didin the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out,” DeLuca says.And having a goal was also important. “There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have to keep working toward your goal,” DeLuca adds.DeLuca ended up founding Subway Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.63.

At night, he sleeps on the street. I have been on the street about eight or nine years, something like that, said the 62-year-old former construction worker.Brown admits hes had problems with alcohol and has smoked cocaine. But he said he still wants a more stable housing arrangementHe could afford it just with the money he earns by collecting cans and small pieces of metal, if only truly low-income housing were available.However, he sees no hope of finding affordable housing inNew York.With the strong economy and unemployment down, beautiful housing is being built to meet demand.AUSreport shows rents inNew York cityrose more than 27 percent between 1984 and 1999, from US $549 to US $700 amonth.One of the side effects of the strong economy is that rents have been going up.The majority of people who experience homelessness really just need some affordable housing help.But few housing companies ha
