第一篇每晚只需8個(gè)小時(shí),睡眠過多非益事
睡眠不足帶來的危害已經(jīng)廣為人知,而一項(xiàng)新的研究表明睡眠過多同樣會產(chǎn)生不良后果。
圣地亞哥加利福尼亞大學(xué)的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)在入睡、保持睡眠等方面,每晚睡9或10小時(shí)的人比睡8小時(shí)的人存在更多問題。與8小時(shí)睡眠者相比,每晚僅睡7個(gè)小時(shí)的人則表示,他們在入睡及經(jīng)過一夜睡眠后精力恢復(fù)方面有更多的麻煩。
DanielKripke愽士在《心身醫(yī)學(xué)》雜志上報(bào)告的這些新發(fā)現(xiàn)表明,人們?nèi)绻胪砩闲菹⒑茫刻炝艚o睡眠的時(shí)間只需8個(gè)小時(shí)。他補(bǔ)充說,對于那些每晚睡8個(gè)小時(shí)以上的人們來說,考慮減少在床上度過的時(shí)間“也許是個(gè)好主意”。不過他又提醒說這還需要進(jìn)一步的研究證實(shí)。以往的研究證明了長期睡眠缺乏的潛在危機(jī)。有報(bào)告顯示,睡眠經(jīng)常少于7小時(shí)的人比睡眠充足者,在特定時(shí)期內(nèi)死亡的機(jī)率更高。
而在目前這份報(bào)告中,Kripke考評了一份1004名成年人參與反饋的睡眠調(diào)查問卷。問卷內(nèi)容涉及每周睡眠時(shí)間和各種可能的睡眠問題,包括半夜驚醒、清晨早醒、無法重新入睡,以及白天疲勞影響日常工作等。Kripke發(fā)現(xiàn)每晚睡9~10小時(shí)的人比睡8個(gè)小時(shí)的人更容易出現(xiàn)各類睡眠問題。在一次訪談中,Kripke注意到睡眠時(shí)間長的人夜間可能難以入眠,正是因?yàn)樗麄兯锰嗔。因此他補(bǔ)充說,治療失眠昀好的一種方法就是少睡點(diǎn)兒!霸诖采匣ǖ臅r(shí)間過長,醒著的時(shí)間就會更多,這是理所當(dāng)然的!
