Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. 　　During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre hot. Thats try. 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 noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: Get up John! Youll be late for work again! The possible explanation to be trouble is that John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. 　　You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up late than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.1. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.
