lack of sleep

缺觉

(quējiào) 

A: It the season to show off some skin once again. After being at home for half the year, I've decided to lose some weight. 

又到了该露肉的季节,宅了大半年,我决心甩肉了。

(yòudàole ɡāilòuròude jìjié, zháile dàbànnián, wǒjuéxīn shuǎiròule.) 

B: Did you know this? A lack of sleep can multiply your risk of getting fat. Your weight loss plan may be missing this part.

你知道吗？缺觉让肥胖风险倍增,你的减肥计划里可能缺少这一项。

(nǐzhīdàoma? quējiào rànɡféipànɡ fēnɡxiǎn bèizēnɡ, nǐde jiǎnféi jìhuálǐ kěnénɡ quēshǎo zhèyīxiànɡ.)

A: I'm going to have to get up and go to bed early to avoid a lack of sleep. 

不缺觉,那就得早睡早起。

(bùquējiào, nàjiùděi zǎoshuì zǎoqǐ.)

B: At the very least don't stay up late at night. You'd better to be asleep around 10 to 11. I recommend that the time you spend asleep reach six to eight hours. Besides a lack of sleep, make sure you select high protein, low-carb and low-fat foods. 

至少别熬夜,最好10点到11点能入睡。建议你睡眠时间达到6-8小时。除了缺觉还得注意选择高蛋白、低碳水化合物、低脂肪的食物。
