Feeling it hard to get out of bed in winter morning? Want to go back to sleep after turning off the alarm clock? Most of us have had unprotected sleep, which means turning off alarm clock and immediately going back to sleep, risking not waking up for a job, class or other daily task. It's called "回籠覺" (huí lóng jiào) in Chinese.
Examples:
1. Yīnwèi shuìle èrshí fènzhōng de huílóngjiào, wǒ cuòguòle bānchē, zhǐnéng zǒuqù xuéxiào.
因為睡了20分鐘的回籠覺,我錯過了班車,只能走去學校。
After twenty minutes of unprotected sleep I missed the bus and had to walk to school.
2. Shìshí zhèngmíng, yǒude rén shuì yícì "huílóngjiào", báitiān de jīngshén hé qíngxù cháng néng bǎochí liánghǎo.
事實證明,有的人睡一次"回籠覺",白天的精神和情緒常能保持良好。
It proves that one usually keeps in good mental and emotional conditions in the day after taking an unprotected sleep in the morning.
