Some tech execs aren't starting their days anymore with a jolt of caffeine — they're betting on sleep instead.
一些科技高管不再以咖啡因开始新的一天,而是把赌注押在睡眠上。
"I think sleep is the new coffee," Bryan Johnson told The Wall Street Journal.
“我认为睡眠是新的咖啡,”布莱恩·约翰逊告诉《华尔街日报》。
Johnson, who built his fortune founding companies like payments platform Braintree and neuroscience startup Kernel, is best known these days for his antiaging regimen. His doctors say it has helped him achieve the heart of a 37-year-old and the lung capacity of an 18-year-old — even though he's 46.
约翰逊通过创办支付平台 Braintree 和神经科学初创公司 Kernel 等公司而积累了财富,如今以其抗衰老疗法而闻名。 他的医生表示,这帮助他获得了 37 岁的心脏和 18 岁的肺活量——尽管他已经 46 岁了。
A good night's rest is a crucial component of his routine. Johnson has said that he is usually in bed by 8:30 p.m. and up before 6 a.m. He has his last meal by 11 a.m., so his resting heart rate is between 46 and 50 beats per minute when he goes to bed.
良好的夜间休息是他日常生活的重要组成部分。 约翰逊表示,他通常在晚上 8 点 30 分之前上床睡觉。 早上 6 点之前起床。他在上午 11 点前吃最后一顿饭,因此上床睡觉时他的静息心率在每分钟 46 到 50 次之间。
The notion that sleep can replace your morning coffee speaks to a growing focus on self-care in the corporate world. Workers are pushing back on the idea that they must get by on just a few hours of rest and work long, grueling days to climb the ladder.
睡眠可以取代早晨的咖啡这一观念表明,企业界越来越注重自我保健。 工人们正在反对这样的想法:他们必须靠几个小时的休息和漫长而艰苦的工作才能爬上阶梯。
"Now the pendulum is swinging the other way," Shane Health, the founder of Mud/Wtr, told the Journal. "How much are you taking care of yourself? Do you feel energized? Do you feel full of vitality?"
Mud/Wtr 的创始人 Shane Health 告诉《华尔街日报》:“现在钟摆正在向另一个方向摆动。” “你照顾好自己了吗?你感觉精力充沛吗?你感觉充满活力吗?”
Mud/Wtr makes coffee alternatives from Ayurvedic herbs and adaptogenic mushrooms and recently opened its first non-coffee cafe in Santa Monica, where it sells smoothies and elixirs and offers yoga, breathwork classes, and cold plunge parties, the Journal reported.
据《华尔街日报》报道,Mud/Wtr 用阿育吠陀草药和适应性蘑菇生产咖啡替代品,最近在圣莫尼卡开设了第一家非咖啡咖啡馆,出售冰沙和长生不老药,并提供瑜伽、呼吸课程和冷水派对。
And workers who prioritize their sleep and well-being are likely to be more productive, focused, and more articulate in their speech, experts say.
专家表示,优先考虑睡眠和健康的员工可能会更有效率、更专注、演讲更清晰。
