给你这三招：夜猫子的工作事半功倍

“The early bird catches the worm” is a phrase that we’ve all heard since the days of elementary school.

“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”，这是一句从小到大都耳熟能详的俗语。

But what if your brain is just programmed to work at night?

但是，如果我们大脑只能设置为夜间工作模式呢？

Whether it’s the midnight moonlight or the hush that falls over the house when everyone’s asleep, working after-hours can equal some serious productivity.

无论的午夜还是凌晨，下班后的工作也能创造高效益。

So, we spoke with a group of Millennial night owls to find out how they best burn the midnight oil:

所以，本文作者与那些“千年夜猫子”进行了一次访谈，看看他们是如何利用午夜时间爆发工作能量的：

1.Turn off the gadgets.

1. 关掉所有的电子产品

“I turn my phone off because most people are feeling social after 7 p.m., but that’s when I do my best work. Also, being aware that WiFi networks seem to be busiest between 8 and 10 p.m., I try not to schedule long-distance video calls or work on something that requires streaming video at that time.” — Nic Chapa, 27, mobile UX/UI designer

“我之所以关掉我的手机，是因为大多数人在晚上7点钟以后都感觉很轻松，适合与他人交际，但这却是我的最佳工作时间。同时，也要意识到无线网络在晚上8点到10点之间是最繁忙的。我尝试不去安排长途视像电话，或停止处理任何需要流媒体的任务。”——Nic Chapa，27岁，一名移动工具的用户体验/用户界面设计师。

2. Sleep in when you can.

2. 想睡懒觉的时候就睡。

“I do my best work when I can focus without interruptions, so I generally tackle tasks that require deep concentration at night when the activity of the day slows down and others are asleep. Then, I try to structure my calendar to have few responsibilities before 10 a.m. Of course, this is not always possible, but when it is, I push major obligations to the late morning and afternoon so that I have time to recover from the previous night’s work.” — Candace Jones, 27, senior manager, business operations.

“当我能够专注免受打扰，我就能够很好地完成我的工作，所以我一般在晚上处理那些需要高度专注的任务，这个时候然白天的活动减少，其他人都入睡了，比较安静。于是，我调整了我的计划表，在早上10点前几乎没有任何待办事项。当然，这也不是都能实现的，如果一旦这样，我就把这些主要的任务安排到中午或下午，这样我就有时间从前一天晚上的工作疲劳中恢复精神了。”——Candace Jones, 27岁，高级主管，来自商务运营机构。

3.Take small breaks.

3. 小憩休息一下。

“With medical school, work, and my new puppy, I don’t sleep very much. But the nighttime is when I do my best studying. My tip would be to take breaks. Whenever I start to feel sleepy or my focus is off, I just put everything down and listen to music. The music energizes me and gets me motivated for another round of studying. To wake up in the morning, I take a hot shower.” — Cameron Henry, 25, medical student

“我既要完成医学院的学习，还得工作，照顾我刚买的小狗狗，我睡的时间很少。不过夜晚却是我的最佳学习时间。我的诀窍在于多小憩休息。每当我感到睡意侵袭，注意力开始不集中的时候，我就把手头上的东西都放下，然后听听音乐。音乐可以给我能量促使我进行下一轮学习。早上醒来的时候，我就会洗个热水澡让我恢复过来。”——Cameron Henry, 25岁，一名医学院的学生。
