Recent research suggests that one way to pack more into your day is to synchronize ( 使同步 ) your biological clock to your daily schedule. By doing certain things when you are most active and energetic, you might be able to improve your productivity. 1 This works much like a program, regulating the timing of many biological functions ranging from when you sleep to when you reproduce. You’ve probably noticed that there are certain times during the day when you feel more energetic. 2 Research has shown, however, that your body clock is responsible for more than just your sleep-wake cycle. For instance, you may want to adjust your schedule to make most of your mental powers. 3 Studies suggest that cognitive abilities tend to peak during the late morning hours, so you might want to deal with those mentally demanding activities before lunch. 4 This is why you might find yourself struggling to concentrate on those work meetings after lunch. If you are working on some sort of creative task, it might be best to wait until you are feeling a bit tired. In a study examining how the time of day influences problem solving, researchers had participants solve analytical problems during times when they were either at their mental best or at less effective times of tiredness. 5 Because the mind is more likely to wander when we are tired, it seems that it can lead people to think in more innovative ( 创新的 ) ways. A. At other times, you might feel exhausted. B. You are probably at your sharpest in the morning. C. Knowing this might help you adapt your own schedule. D. Your biological clock controls a great deal of how you function. E. Experts also suggest that attention levels weaken following meals. F. Changing your biological clock may not be easy, but it could be beneficial. G. They found that people tend to do their best creative thinking when they are tired.
