TED | 早睡早起的人生到底有多精彩？

演讲精彩片段（节选）欣赏

So, what did I learn with this? These were my lessons:

那么，我从中学到了什么？这些是我学到的:

One, Find support along the way. It is always better to find these people that will push you forward and will hold you accountable for failing, even if they criticize you. This is my blog post-my Facebook post, the original one, about the challenge, and where I was more exposed to many people.

1. 如果你想在一生中完成一项挑战，你需要一路支持你的人们。他们会推动你前进，让你为失败负责，即使他们批评你。这是我的博客文章——我的Facebook文章，最初关于挑战的那一篇，在那里我接触到了更多的人。

Two, People like to see different things.And come on, a young guy like me, waking up so early, is different. At least it’s not what people see on Facebook and at least people see different pictures on their Instagram feed.

2. 人们愿意看到打破常规的尝试。拜托，像我这样的年轻人，起得这么早，是很不同寻常的一件事。至少这不是人们在Facebook上看到的，至少人们在Instagram上看到不同的照片。

Three, No.You don’t need to sleep less. One thing that happened a lot was a lot of people, horrified, asking me: “So you sleep less. How do you manage to do that?” And I say: “Okay, I don’t sleep less. I only go to bed earlier.” This is what he is saying. That means: Bed early and rise early.In fact this is simple. I went to sleep a few hours before.

3. 不！你不会缺少睡眠。经常发生的一件事是，很多人惊慌失措地问我：“所以你睡得少了。”你是怎么做到的？”我说：“好吧，我睡得并不少。我只是睡的比较早。”这意味着：早睡早起。其实这很简单。我几个小时前就睡了。

Four, Get rid of your obstacles. This is really important. When you want to change something in your life, it’s important to eliminate all the obstacles because it becomes much easier to reach your final goal.

4. 摆脱阻碍你的东西，这真的很重要。当你想改变生活中的一些事情时，消除所有的障碍是很重要的，因为这会使你更容易达到你的最终目标。

Five, A healthy life is really important if you want to sleep properly. So I sleep well, I eat well and I exercise, and it helps a lot with that. I fall asleep really fast, 5 minutes on average. I sleep well and anywhere if needed, and I wake up without any problems, and this helps a lot, of course with my challenge. This is me exercising. So it’s a proof that I exercise.

5. 如果你想睡个好觉，健康的生活真的很重要。所以我睡得好，吃得好，锻炼身体，这对我很有帮助。我入睡很快，平均只需要5分钟。如果需要的话，在任何地方我都可以睡得很好，而且我醒来时没有任何不舒服，这对我的挑战有很大帮助。这是我在锻炼。这是我锻炼身体的证据。

Six, Forget snooze, please. For me this is one of the worst inventions ever on mankind. Come on, it doesn’t help you with anything. You delay for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes of your life. There are studies that say that you get more tired sleeping that time, and you are wasting your time for more interesting things. So forget this. Nothing good comes from snooze.

6. 别睡回笼觉！对我来说，这是人类有史以来最糟糕的发明之一。拜托，这对你没有任何帮助。你拖延了10分钟，20分钟，30分钟。有研究表明，你在打瞌睡的时候只会越睡越累，你是在浪费去做更有趣的事情的时间。所以忘记这一点。打盹没什么好处。

Seven, I only need 6 or 7 hours of sleep. This is me waking up a little bit. Is wear that I’d like to sleep, but my body only demands this much time of sleeping. So why waste my time with sleep when there are a lot of things that are way more interesting?

7. 我只需要睡六、七个小时。这是我刚睡醒的样子。我发誓我真的很想睡觉，但是我的身体只需要这么多的时间睡眠，这就够了。既然有那么多有趣的事情要做，为什么还要浪费时间睡觉呢?

Eight, I found that doing this, I have more working time. In fact 2 more hours per day. And in the end I can leave the office earlier and have some drinks with my friends enjoying the beautiful sun of Lisbon.

8. 我发现这样做，我有更多的工作时间。事实上，每天多出2个小时。所以，我可以早点离开办公室，和朋友们一起喝点东西，享受里斯本美丽的阳光。

Nine, I found that it was a better way to get messages out of my way. During the morning no one is working, so I can answer all the emails and messages and I have an In box zero and no instant answer for today, and this is a great feeling during the morning.

9. 在有效工作时间内我不会受到社交媒体的打扰。我发现这是一个更好的方式来获得信息的方式。在早上没有人工作，所以我可以回复所有的电子邮件和信息，我今天一开始就会有一个不需要回复的收件箱，这会给我一整天的好心情。

Ten, I found that I have also more time at the gym. So this is the proof that I go to the gym, and I found that waking up earlier, when I go to the gym I am not so tired. As I worked before for 2 hours that’s not an excuse. It helps a lot on those days when you think that you don’t have enough time to exercise.

10. 我发现我有更多的时间在健身房。这是我去健身房的证据，我发现习惯早起之后，当我去健身房的时候，我没有那么累。因为在早起健身之前只工作了两个小时，累不能成为借口。当你认为你没有足够的时间锻炼的时候，这会对你有很大的帮助。

Eleven, New view on the world. This gave me a few little feeling for pleasures like seeing a sunrise when I was running.This is great.

11. 早起让我有机会以新的视角看待我周围的世界。这给了我一些快乐的感觉，就像我跑步时看到日出一样。这是真是太棒了。

Twelve and last. You need the will to do it. But if you have it, no one will stop you. So this challenge was the result of many thoughts and many conversations that I had in the weeks before. This was a personal experience that put people to think and discuss about this subject. Many shared the story.

12. 也是最后一点，这的确需要很强的意志力。但只要你想，你就可以！你需要意志去做这件事。但是如果你拥有它，没有人会阻止你。这个早起挑战是我在发起它的前几周反复思考的结果。因此，这是我个人的经验，也能让人们思考和讨论的话题。许多人分享了这个故事。

#21earlydays# is still today, one of the most active hash tags on Twitter, without paying a cent for it. And more important than that, even the best part of it is that still today I continue receiving messages from people all over the world saying that they are waking up earlier, because of me, and that they are happier doing that! That’s great!

#21天早期挑战计划#至今一直存在，仍是Twitter上最活跃的话题标签之一，而且我没有花一分钱推广它。更重要的是，直到今天，我仍然不断地收到来自世界各地的人们的信息，他们都在说，因为我，因为我所做的，让他们早起了，而且他们这样做很开心，这真是太棒了！

So, here’s my point: a small act, but different act, such as waking up at 4:30 am originated a big result such as putting people to think and discuss about their own schedules and how to be more productive.

所以，我的观点是:一个小的但与众不同的行为，比如在凌晨4:30起床，会产生一个大的效果，比如让人们思考和讨论他们自己的时间表，以及如何提高效率。
