7、. The study, which tracked the sleepinghabits of 1.1 million Americans for six years, undermines theadvice of many sleep doctors who have long recommended that peopleget eight or nine hours of sleep every night。与人们的普遍观念恰恰相反，就睡眠所做的最新研究发现每晚睡 6-7 个小时的人要比睡 8 个小时或更长时间的人寿命长。这项对 110 万美国人的睡眠习惯进行为期 6 年跟踪调查的研

10、us orwhether people could extend their life span by sleeping less。这项研究目的不是试图解释为何睡得多可能是有害的，也不是解释人们能否通过减少睡眠来延长寿命。But Kripkesaid it was possible that people who slept longer tended to sufferfrom sleep apnea, a condition where impaired breathing puts stresson the heart and brain. He also speculated that

11、 the need for sleepwas akin to food, where getting less than people want may be betterfor them。但 Kripke 说这有可能是由于睡得多的人就容易遭受睡眠中的呼吸暂停，这是一种减弱呼吸给心脏和大脑带来压力的状况。他还认为人们对睡眠的需求就如同对食物需求一样，实际摄入量比需求量少一点可能对健康有益。The study quickly provoked cautions and criticism, with some sleepexperts saying that the main problem i

16、ive survey conducted by theAmerican Cancer Society from 1992 to 1998. Women sleeping 8, 9 and 10 hours a night had 13 percent,23 percent and 41 percent higher risk of dying, respectively, thanthose who slept 7 hours, the study found。Men sleeping 8, 9 and 10 hours anight had 12 percent, 17 percent an

20、f death by 25 percent。研究还发现每天服一粒安眠药会导致死亡率上升 25%。He recommendedthat people should not routinely take pills to get eight hours ofsleep. While acknowledging that the sleeping pills used from 1992to 1998 were not the same pills being used today, Kripke said,“without data showing that contemporary pills

21、are safe, these dataprovide the best information about whether sleeping pills are safefor long-term use.“他建议人们不要为了达到 8 小时的睡眠就经常服用安眠药。虽然 Kripke 承认1992-1998 年期间所使用的安眠药和今天的安眠药不一样了，但是他说， “只要还没有数据表明当今的安眠药是安全的，这些数据在说明安眠药长期服用是否安全方面就仍有说服力。”Kripke, whose study was funded by federal tax dollars, saiddoctors r

22、ecommendations that everyone get eight hours of sleep anight may have been partly influenced by the drug companies thatmake sleeping pills. He cited a report from a public relations firmrepresenting the medicine Ambien, which gave money to the NationalSleep Foundation to alert people about an insomn

23、ia “public healthcrisis“ as part of a marketing campaign。Kripke 的研究是由联邦政府资助的，他说医生们之所以建议每人每晚睡 8 小时，这在一定程度上可能是受到了安眠药生产公司的影响。他引用了一家公共关系公司撰写的关于 Ambien 药厂的报告作为例子。该报告指出 Ambien 药厂资助了国家睡眠基金会来警告人们失眠问题已造成一场“公共健康危机” ，而这其实是 Ambien 药厂营销活动的一部分。Both Buysseand Walsh have served as paid consultants to makers of slee

24、pingpills, but both denied being influenced by that role. Walsh saidmost researchers in the field had accepted consulting fees from thecompanies, because “99 percent of the funding to support this typeof research is from pharmaceutical companies.“Buysse 和 Walsh 都在担任安眠药生产厂家的顾问，而且拿薪水，但是他们两人都否认受到了这一职位的

25、影响。Walsh 说这个领域的大多数研究者都接受药厂支付的咨询费，因为“这类研究经费有 99%是医药公司资助的。 ”Buysse, who wrote an editorial accompanying Kripkes article, saidmore research was needed to pin down exactly what the connectionwas between sleep and the risk of death. The study relied onpeoples own reports of their sleeping habits, which c

26、an be faulty.When people are asked how long they sleep, they usually report howlong they spend in bed, Buysse said. Buysse 为 Kripke 的文章配发了一篇社论，他说有必要做进一步的研究以确定睡眠和死亡率之间究竟是什么联系。他说这一研究靠的是人们对自己睡眠习惯的汇报，而这有可能会出错。当问人们睡多长时间时，他们通常汇报的是他们在床上呆的时间。That couldmean that people who reported sleeping eight hours were

27、reallysleeping around seven and a half hours, which would bring them intothe studys lower risk category. Buysse also disagreed that sleepwas like food, arguing that while people can restrict sleep, theycannot “choose“ to sleep longer。这就意味着那些汇报 8 小时睡眠者实际睡了 7.5 个小时左右，而这就会把他们列入该项研究的低危险率一类。Buysse 也不同意睡眠

28、如饮食的观点，他反驳说虽然人们可以限制自己的睡眠，他们却无法“选择”睡得更久些。DonaldBliwise, a psychologist at Emory University, in Atlanta, saidstudies had shown that when people were allowed to sleep howeverlong they wanted, without cues from alarm clocks and watches, theyoften slept 14 to 15 hours a day for the first few days。位于亚特兰大的

29、 Emory 大学的心理学家 DonaldBliwise 说已有研究表明，当让人们随心所欲，不受闹钟和手表提示地去睡时，他们经常在最初几天中每天会睡 14-15 个小时。“Everyone,“Bliwise said, “walks around somewhat sleep deprived.“Bliwise 说：“每个人在一定程度上都没有睡够。 ”Sleep well to live longSleep boosts the immune system, relaxes the muscles and promotes the skins regeneration.

This would apply to the incessant ticking of the alarm clock, as well as the rattling of window shutters. In emergencies, earplugs help.Then there is also the foundation for sleep: the bed.

40、“The mattress has to adjust to the person, not the other way around,“ says Moosmann. Test it thoroughly before buying. Your body should not sink too deeply into the mattress and it should provide sufficient room for movement. “As a rule of thumb, bigger and heavier people need a firmer base than tho

Dry and not too warm is recommended. “The fiber of the mattress, the bedding and sleepwear must essentially be able to absorb and release moisture so that dry conditions are created,“ says sleep researcher Zulley.

42、In addition, the bed covers should not smother either with weight or a build-up of heat.Having problems falling asleep or waking at night, from time to time, is entirely normal.
