27、sleep at night, says Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert.If you feel sleepy during theday, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs-it doesnt need tobe kept awake with caffeine, it needs sleep. The feeling to notice is “sleepiness,he says, not tiredness”,which could bemore psycho

The key thing, says Stanley, is howlong your nap lasts.Choose either a 20-or 90-mintute nap. “ When you fall asleep, youll quickly go throughthe lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep.

Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees(猩猩)reveal that oldermales choose to hang out with their long-te
35、rm friends at the expense of other relationships. The researchers studied 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016that followed the social interactions of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58years old.

They then rated the various pairings as mutual(相互的) friendships，where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship;one-sidedfriendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other; and non-friendships,where neither chimp showed interest in
37、the other. When the scientists looked at the patterns of friendships,they found that the olderchimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps.Another feature seen in older humans was also spotted in the chimps. As the males gotolder, their levels of aggression(
