🔥 How Quitting Caffeine Will Affect Your Sleep—And Your Worldview
戒除咖啡因會如何影響你的睡眠和世界觀
☕️ “Everyone is caffeinated,” said Michael Pollan, author of the audiobook “Caffeine.” “Until you get off caffeine, you don’t realize how universal that state is.” In his new book, Pollan zooms in on a drug so ubiquitous, many people don’t conceive of it as such—even though its effects on the way they sleep, or struggle to, are profound. For research purposes, Mr. Pollan embarked on a 3-month caffeine fast. In “Caffeine” he describes feeling “out of tune with the rest of civilization” as a result, but there were upsides, too.
「每個人都在攝入咖啡因。」波倫說，他是有聲書《咖啡因》的作者。「除非戒掉咖啡因，不然你發現不了這種狀態有多普遍。」這本新的有聲書著重討論了咖啡因這種無處不在的藥物，它對很多人的睡眠方式有著重大的影響，但人們對其普遍性並沒有足夠認識。出於研究的目的，波倫戒了咖啡因三個月。在《咖啡因》一書中，他描述了因此而感到「與社會文明格格不入」，但好處也是有的。
-caffeine: 咖啡因
-ubiquitous: 普遍、無處不在
-profound: 深刻、影響深遠
-embarked: 開始、開啟（一段旅程、經歷等等）
💊 Are there similarities between psychedelics and caffeine? I felt there was when I had that first dose after being off for 3 months. It was pretty psychedelic. What are your favorite ways to get your caffeine? Coffee and green tea. I usually drink green tea while I’m working, which is a very even caffeine experience—you don’t see that bell curve. I’ll have a cup of half-caff after that. Chocolate is another wonderful delivery system for caffeine and other Alkalides.
迷幻藥和咖啡因有什麼相似之處嗎？戒了三個月咖啡因以後，我第一次重喝咖啡的那一瞬間，覺得兩者真的是相似的。那種感覺相當迷幻。你最喜歡透過什麼攝取咖啡因？咖啡和綠茶。我通常在工作時喝綠茶，這是一種非常恆定的咖啡因體驗——不會有鐘形曲線。之後我會再來一杯低咖啡因咖啡。巧克力也是咖啡因和其他鹼性物質的良好傳遞系統。
-similarities：相似點
-psychedelics: 迷幻藥
-bell curve: 鐘形曲線（統計中的正常分佈曲線，意為最終達到平衡）
-Alkalide: 鹼性物質
🍫What’s your favorite food to pair with your tea or coffee? My ideal pairing now might be coffee with a small square of dark chocolate. Do you have any favorite decaf substitutes? I had a lot of chamomile and peppermint during those 3 months. I also have herbs in my garden. Yea or nay on CBD as a sleep aid? I don’t have a big sleep problem but if I did, I would certainly try it. I know people who swear by it, but they also swear by other cannabis products, which are legal here in California.
喝咖啡或喝茶時你最喜歡配哪種食物？現在，我最理想的搭配可能是咖啡和一小塊黑巧克力。你有最喜歡的無咖啡因替代品嗎？那三個月我喝了很多洋甘菊和薄荷。我家花園裡也種植了一些藥草。你是否支持用大麻二酚(CBD)輔助睡眠？我沒有嚴重的睡眠問題，但是如果我有的話，我肯定會嘗試一下。我認識一些推崇它的人，不過他們也同樣推崇其他在加州合法的大麻製品。
-pairing: 搭配
-decaf: 無咖啡因
