Spanish Text<\/h2>\n
\nFelipe: Gracias Carlota. No lo s\u00e9. Supongo que me gusta cuidarme y estar bien vestido.
\nCarlota: Yo soy un desastre. Mira mi pelo. \u00a1Y mis calcetines! Tengo puestos uno rosa y uno negro.
\nFelipe: No pasa nada Carlota. \u00bfA qu\u00e9 hora te levantas por la ma\u00f1ana? Igual es porque no tienes suficiente tiempo y te preparas con mucha prisa.
\nCarlota: Tienes raz\u00f3n. Muchos d\u00edas olvido poner la alarma. Y los d\u00edas que recuerdo ponerla, la quito por la ma\u00f1ana de todas formas y sigo durmiendo.
\nFelipe: La clave es tener mucho tiempo para despertarse poco a poco. Sin prisa y sin estr\u00e9s.
\nCarlota: \u00bfA qu\u00e9 hora te despiertas por la ma\u00f1ana Felipe?
\nFelipe: Siempre a las seis y media. Normalmente me levanto cinco minutos despu\u00e9s pero a veces me quedo quince minutos leyendo un libro. Luego me ducho, me visto, y me peino. A las siete, m\u00e1s o menos, desayuno tranquilamente viendo la televisi\u00f3n o leyendo.
\nCarlota: \u00bfY nunca est\u00e1s pegado a las s\u00e1banas? Cuando me despierto estoy tan a gusto en mi cama, y tan dormida, que no puedo levantarme.
\nFelipe: Estoy atento a que tengo que trabajar y prefiero evitar el estr\u00e9s. Cuando tengo tiempo de sobra nunca estoy estresado.
\nCarlota: S\u00ed. Tiene sentido. \u00bfPero a qu\u00e9 hora vas a trabajar?
\nFelipe: Empiezo a las nueve. Salgo de casa a las ocho.
\nCarlota: Entonces tienes una hora y media por la ma\u00f1ana despierto.
\nFelipe: S\u00ed, eso es. A veces m\u00e1s.
\nCarlota: Yo prefiero usar este tiempo en mi cama. En diez minutos puedo prepararme y me tomo mi caf\u00e9 de camino al trabajo. \u00a1Qu\u00e9 m\u00e1s dan mis calcetines y mi pelo!<\/p>\n

\nFelipe: Thanks Carlota. I don\u2019t know. I guess I like to take care of myself and be well dressed.
\nCarlota: I am a disaster. Look at my hair. And my socks! I have one pink one and one black one.
\nFelipe: It doesn\u2019t matter Carlota. What time do you get up in the morning? Maybe it\u2019s because you don\u2019t have enough time and you get ready in a hurry.
\nCarlota: You\u2019re right. Many days I forget to set the alarm. And the days I remember to set it, I turn it off in the morning anyway and continue sleeping.
\nFelipe: The key is to have a lot of time to wake up little by little. No rush and no stress.
\nCarlota: What time do you wake up in the morning Felipe?
\nFelipe: Always at six thirty. Normally I get up five minutes later but sometimes I stay fifteen minutes reading a book. Then I shower, get dressed, and comb my hair. At seven o\u2019clock, more or less, I have breakfast calmly watching television or reading.
\nCarlota: And you never find it difficult getting out of bed? When I wake up I\u2019m so comfortable in my bed and so sleepy that I can\u2019t get up.
\nFelipe: I am aware that I have to work and I prefer to avoid stress. When I have time to spare I\u2019m never stressed.
\nCarlota: Yes. It makes sense. But what time do you go to work?
\nFelipe: I start at nine. I leave the house at eight.
\nCarlota: Then you have an hour and a half in the morning awake.
\nFelipe: Yes, that\u2019s right. Sometimes more.
\nCarlota: I prefer to use this time in my bed. In ten minutes I can prepare myself and I have my coffee on my way to work. Who cares about my socks and my hair!<\/p>\n
