The Reason Coffee Makes Some People Sleepy(英语阅读)(每日一摸)

The Reason Coffee Makes Some People Sleepy

The reason we get tired throughout the day is because a neurochemical called adenosine builds up and passes through receptors, which causes nerve cells to become less active and blood vessels in your brain to dilate. 翻译1

In short, your body gets the message that it’s time to rest. But since caffeine resembles adenosine, it binds to these receptors instead — blocking the actual adenosine from passing through and preventing your body from slowing down. 翻译2

“Just because our brain is no longer processing the adenosine doesn’t mean it stops producing it,” Michelle Worley, a registered nurse, told PureWow. “When the caffeine inevitably wears off, you’re left with an adenosine buildup which makes you feel even more tired.” 翻译3

It’s not unlike getting a burst of energy after eating something sugary, only to crash soon after. And speaking of sugar, if your go-to coffee concoction involves lots of it, that could contribute to post-coffee fatigue, too. 翻译4

There’s also the possibility that caffeine’s diuretic quality can cause dehydration, which can make you feel tired (though some studies have suggested that caffeine doesn’t dehydrate us nearly as much as we’ve been led to believe). 翻译5

Lastly, you may have built up such a high tolerance for caffeine that a cup of joe just doesn’t perk you up like it used to. 翻译6

好的,我来重新写一个戴安,供您参考: ```python import random class Dianne: def __init__(self, name): self.name = name self.age = 0 self.happiness = 50 self.hunger = 50 self.energy = 50 self.alive = True def feed(self): if self.hunger >= 90: print(f"{self.name} is already full!") else: self.hunger += 10 print(f"{self.name} has been fed and his hunger is now {self.hunger}.") def play(self): if self.energy <= 10: print(f"{self.name} is too tired to play!") else: self.energy -= 10 self.happiness += 10 print(f"{self.name} has played and his happiness is now {self.happiness}.") def sleep(self): if self.energy >= 90: print(f"{self.name} is not sleepy!") else: self.energy += 10 print(f"{self.name} has slept and his energy is now {self.energy}.") def check_status(self): if self.hunger <= 0 or self.energy <= 0: print(f"{self.name} is too hungry or too tired and has died!") self.alive = False elif self.hunger >= 100: print(f"{self.name} has died of overeating!") self.alive = False elif self.happiness <= 0: print(f"{self.name} has died of sadness!") self.alive = False elif self.age >= 30: print(f"{self.name} has died of old age!") self.alive = False def age_up(self): self.age += 1 self.hunger -= 10 self.energy -= 10 self.happiness -= 10 print(f"{self.name} has aged up and is now {self.age} years old.") self.check_status() def simulate(self): while self.alive: action = random.choice(["feed", "play", "sleep"]) if action == "feed": self.feed() elif action == "play": self.play() else: self.sleep() self.age_up() ``` 这个戴安有以下属性和方法: - 属性:姓名、年龄、幸福度、饥饿度、精力值、是否存活。 - 方法:喂食、玩耍、睡觉、检查状态、年龄增加、模拟生命过程。 您可以按照以下方式创建一个新的戴安实例: ```python dianne = Dianne("Dianne") ``` 接着,您可以调用 `simulate()` 方法,让戴安开始模拟生命过程: ```python dianne.simulate() ``` 在模拟中,戴安会随机执行以下三种行为之一:喂食、玩耍、睡觉。每次行为会影响戴安的饥饿度、精力值和幸福度,同时会检查戴安的状态(是否存活、是否过度饥饿、过度疲劳、过度饱食、过度悲伤、是否过了寿命),如果状态不好,会导致戴安死亡。当戴安死亡后,模拟就会结束。
