Why we should be watching the sun, not the clock

Between daylight saving and obligatory early starts, we live at the mercy of ‘official’ time – and many of us feel permanently out of sync

By Linda Geddes

The tourism brochure for the German spa town of Bad Kissingen features a photograph of a young woman on its cover. Dressed in white shorts and a pink vest, the woman is perched peacefully on a sunny rock overlooking a river, reading a handwritten journal. Emblazoned on the top left of the page is the slogan Entdecke die Zeit – Discover Time.

Located in the sparsely populated region of Lower Franconia in Bavaria, Bad Kissingen was once a fashionable resort for the European aristocracy and bourgeoisie. They came for rest and relaxation; soaking up the classical architecture and fragrant rose gardens, and taking the mineral-rich waters, which were reputed to cure all manner of ills. Today, Bad Kissingen has rebranded itself as the world’s first ChronoCity – a place where internal time is as important as external time, and sleep is sacrosanct.

Most of us are not free to choose our work or school hours; we have little control over the lighting in our public spaces and external environment; and we are even forced to reprogramme our internal clock twice a year because of daylight saving time. The question that the idea of the “ChronoCity” raises is what changes could society make to better accommodate our body clocks?

什么是清晨朗读会？

这里就是清晨朗读会。我每天早上6点左右发送可以模仿和朗读的材料，包括语音和文本。希望我们能够每天一起练习。

如何使用此练习材料

较理想的状态

1. 先听一遍我读的语音（最好第一遍不看原文）

2. 再听一遍，这次跟着模仿（听不懂你模仿的没关系，跟不上也没关系，就尽量模仿你听到的音！）

3. 朗读一遍原文

4. 这个时候才花点时间查不懂的内容（但查询的时间不要超过总练习时间的三分之一！）

5. 1-3步骤再重复2－3遍

6. 发到朋友圈里，告诉朋友你今天练了英语！（对我来讲，日常的转发与分享是最大的支持和帮助，提前感谢！）

起码要达到的状态

1. 听一遍

2. 跟着模仿一遍

3. 朗读一遍
