程度副詞

Sometimes, we are just thirsty or too hot but most often, our insomnia is psychological.

有時，我們只是口渴或太熱了，但大多數情況下，我們的失眠是心理因素造成的。

轉承詞

It is the mind's revenge for all the efforts that we have, largely unbeknownst to us, been making not to have certain thoughts in the day. We are being woken up by a need to think about something that we have carefully been ignoring, probably thanks to our work or our social and family commitments. Having attempted to get our attention by more normal means in the clamour and busyness of the day, our deep minds are now trying to get us to have an appointment with certain insights and ideas in the quieter hours of the night. Our 3am awakenings are signs that we have repeatedly not been doing the sort of self-reflection we need to do in order to be at peace. We are not being lazy, we are not shunning our responsibilities out of willfulness. We are simply escaping, for very understandable reasons, from what are liable to be a range of difficult thoughts, perhaps about work, a relationship or our childhoods. If we are to regain sleep, we should begin to visit, with greater tenderness and imagination than we allow ourselves in the day, some of the bolted and locked rooms of our minds. In a spirit of gentle curiosity, we might dare to raise certain sorts of enquiry.

這是對我們在一天中努力避免產生某些想法的報復，而我們自己卻渾然不知。我們被一種思考的需要喚醒，而這種思考可能是由於工作、社會和家庭的原因，被我們小心翼翼地忽略了。在白天的喧鬧和忙碌中，我們曾試圖用更正常的方式來吸引我們的注意力，而現在，我們深沉的大腦正試圖讓我們在夜深人靜的時候與某些見解和想法約會。我們在凌晨三點醒來，這表明我們一再沒有進行我們需要進行的自我反思，以獲得平靜。我們不是懶惰，也不是故意逃避責任。我們只是出於可以理解的原因，逃避可能是一系列困難的想法，也許是關於工作、感情或童年的。如果我們想重

基礎被動語態

What am I truly, truly sad about at the moment? Who has hurt me? What needs to change? What is the real grief beneath the surface anxiety? What is my gut telling me I need to know now and to do next? These can be uncomfortable questions, no doubt, but we can use the night to help us to face them. Everyone else is asleep. It matters a little less now that we think in conventional ways. We can be a bit odd, fanciful, imaginative and kind. We can go a little mad between 3 and 4am and no one needs to know. We can write things down in a notebook and destroy the pages in the morning. What counts is that we give ourselves the chance to understand our shy and pained deep psyches a little better. They have been crying out for our attention and we have till now run away from our duty of care. Our mind's ultimate responsibility is always to our growth and self-understanding. They want us to sleep, of course. They understand as well as any expert that rest is important. But they have as a priority something even more important than energetic limbs and that is psychological insight. They need us to have felt what needs to be felt, to have been angry where we are in a rage, to be sad where we are grief-stricken. They are irrepressibly driven to try to align our surfaces with our depths. They are trying to send us, as it were, to the school of night not to be unkind but so that we can catch up on some very key lessons about who we really are that we have, until now, been too distracted or squeamish to attend. We will sleep better once we begin to ask ourselves these questions on a regular basis.

此刻我真正、真正悲傷的是什麼？誰傷害了我？什麼需要改變？表面的焦慮下真正的悲傷是什麼？我的直覺告訴我，我現在需要知道什麼，接下來要做什麼？毫無疑問，這些問題會讓人感到不舒服，但我們可以利用夜晚來幫助我們面對這些問題。其他人都睡著了。現在，我們用傳統的方式思考問題已經不那麼重要了。我們可以有點古怪、幻想、想象力和善良。我們可以在凌晨 3 點到 4 點之間發瘋，而沒有人需要知道。我們可以把事情寫在本子上，然後在早上把書頁撕掉。重要的是，我們給自己一個機會，讓自己更好地瞭解自己內心深處的羞怯和痛苦。它們一直在呼
