【解析】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。很多人在晚上睡觉时中途会醒，那么，如何容易地重新入睡呢，文章给我们提出了几条建议。

【1】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上文提到：晚上偶尔醒了是正常的（It’s normal to wake briefly during the night.），承接上文，B选项切题：事实上，有的睡眠好的人甚至不记得了。

【2】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上文提到：重新入睡的关键在于继续让你的身体做好睡觉的准备，要以放松的姿势躺在床上（The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position.）。该空下文提到：专注于身体的感受（So just focus on the feelings and sensations in your body.）。承上启下，F选项切题：压力和焦虑会使你处于清醒的状态。

【3】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上文提到：如果你发现重新入睡很难，那么你可以尝试使用想象，深呼吸或冥想等放松技能（If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思).）。承接该句，D选项切题：你甚至在不用起床的情况下都可以做这些技能。该选项中的They对应上一句话里的visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思)。

【4】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句话提到：它们发出的这一类光会刺激大脑。（The type of light they send out is stimulating(刺激)the brain。该空应表明下一句中的“they”指代的事物，且该类事物会发光。故G选项切题：还要避开计算机，电视，手机等的屏幕。

【5】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上文提到：如果你在晚上醒来，对某件事感到焦虑的话，那么在纸上简洁的将它写下来（If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper）。下一句提到：你可能会发现当你头脑清楚的时候，这件事会容易一点儿。由此可以推知，作者建议将你感到焦虑的事情推到第二天去做。故A选项正确。

线索法，就是在空格前后圈定线索词，然后在选项中查找该线索词的原词或反义词复现。线索词主要包括代词、名词（尤其是时间、地点、名称等专有名词）、数词、动词等。在第三小题中，D选项中的“选项中的They对应上一句话里的visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思)”。在第四小题中，G选项中的computers, TVs, cell phones, iPads对应后面一句话中的they。考生可以通过自己的理解和观察得出答案。
