100 Slang Words and Phrases

Do you get tired in the afternoon? Experts say that's normal. The body has a natural rhythm that includes two drowsy periods every 24 hours, one at night and another between about 2 and 4 p.m.

So why not take a nap?

Experts say that taking a nap for less than 30 minutes — a so-called "power nap" — allows the brain to rest in a way that makes you more alert when you wake up. Research has also shown other benefits.

"We know it's an easy, helpful way to quickly boost your alertness, your concentration, your productivity, your creativity and your mood." says James Maas, who spent 48 years studying sleep as a Cornell University professor.

However, people shouldn't nap for too long, as they will fall into a deeper sleep, which is harder to wake up from.

Shorter naps are helpful for alertness and memory, says Sara Mednick, a sleep researcher at University of California-Irvine. Her research has found that naps work better than caffeine to improve brain function.

For a good nap, find a quiet, dark and cool space and set an alarm for 15 or 20 minutes.

Even if you feel like you haven't slept, you still get benefits, Mednick said. People often don't feel like they are asleep until they have reached a deeper sleep.

Short naps don't interfere with nighttime sleep, as long as they're not too late in the day. Try to take a nap at the same time every day, around 6 or 7 hours after waking up.

The only people who should avoid napping are those who have trouble sleeping at night, Maas says. Older people should be careful because they tend to nap for too long during the day.

And if you don't like napping? Research has shown that napping is not for everyone. And Mednick's advice for people who really don't like to nap is: "Listen to your body."

SWE 79 motion sickness 🤮puking and getting the runs💩

Este es el último episodio de la serie “Especial Navidad”. Y en él hablo de la última celebración de las Navidades españolas. Probablemente la favorita de los niños, ya que es hoy cuando los españoles abrimos nueros regalos de Navidad. 

Y, por supuesto, tenemos cosas típicas de este día. Escucha el episodio para descubrir como celebramos los españoles el Día de Reyes.

ERROR-fe de erratas*-lo siento, en la grabación menciono que las rebajas empiezan mañana 8 de enero, pero por supuesto, hoy, Día de Reyes es 6 de enero, por lo tanto, mañana es 7 de enero, que es cuando empiezan cada año las rebajas. No el 8, mi error)

Especial Navidad 9-Día de Reyes

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は19℃です。

まだ秋がはじまったばかりですが、天気が良いと気持ちいいですね。

今日は、秋の終わりの気持ち良い日に使う言葉を紹介します。

秋の終わり、天気が良くて、あたたかく、とても気持ちが良い日を「小春日和」という言葉で表現します。

小春、というふうに春という言葉が入っているので、どうしても春に使いたくなりますね。ですが、この言葉は秋に使う言葉です。反対に、春の気持ちがいい日には、小秋日和とは言いません。

もしかしたら日本人でも間違って使っている人もいるかもしれません。ですが、小春日和を使うのは秋の気持ちの良い日のことなので、間違えないようにしてくださいね！

まだ秋が始まったばかりですが、冬に使う言葉で、三寒四温さんかんしおん、という言葉があります。これは1週間の7日の間に、寒い日が3日続いたら今度は暖かい日が4日続く、というような意味で使います。

日本は季節によって天気が良く変わります。
それでこのような天気の言葉が多いのかもしれません。

みなさんの国では、天気を表す言葉はたくさんありますか？
ぜひオンラインレッスンでお話しましょう！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
