take it to their doctor
然后放給她們的醫生看
Instead of what we notice in some cases
在同樣的病例中
the women being told they were neurotic
醫生告訴這些女性她們神經過敏
and getting the prescription for Valium
然后給她們開了安定
because the husband is the bed partner
因為和她們一起睡覺的是她們的丈夫
may always in denial
而她們的丈夫可能拒絕治療
I don't have any problem
他們覺得自己沒什么問題
I don't have problem, whatsoever
我什么問題也沒有
So I would have them tape record it
所以我讓他們自己去錄像
take that to the doctor to play it
然后把錄像放給醫生看
and then they will take it seriously
這樣他們就會嚴肅對待這個問題了
But we get tapes of bed partner
但現在我們在給伴侶錄像時
who were sleeping in different rooms now
他們已經睡在了另一個房間
and banging on the wall
他們會敲墻壁
stop snoring! Turn over!
別打呼嚕了 翻一下身
All kinds of issues for awakening during the night
所以和夜間醒來相關的問題有很多
Women are afraid to go to sleep when they are sleeping
如果同床伴侶存在睡眠呼吸
with somebody who has sleep apnea
那么女性通常很害怕睡覺
They are thrilled to get treatment
所以她們很愿意接受治療
sleep apnea is treated very successfully
現在我們可以通過Cpap
with nasal Cpap
成功的治療睡眠呼吸障礙
nasal continuous airway pressure Cpap
就是鼻腔正壓呼吸器
It not only keeps the airway splinted and open at night
該儀器在夜間不斷的給呼吸通道施壓
but it's a nice wide noise sort of machine
這種儀器也會發生噪音
that is soothing and restful to bed partners
但對伴侶來說 這種聲音要溫柔安靜得多
That's...when to be concerned is a lot of these issues
所以這些都是我們需要考慮到問題
The other thing is falling asleep during the day
另一個問題是日間的睡眠
Obviously
顯然
if you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow
如果你的頭一沾枕頭就睡著
and you fall asleep during the day
半天在沒有準備的情況下
when you don't intend to
隨時可能睡著
that's when you should be concerned
那么你就需要擔心了
If the bed partner is reporting excessive limb movements
例如你的床伴說你睡著后四肢不停的動
or loud snoring or your breathing stops
或者打呼嚕的聲音很大 或者呼吸暫停
So I want to talk a little bit
所以我想簡單講講
about the pineal gland and melatonin
松果體和褪黑素
and why we sleep anyway
為什么我們會睡覺
and some of the physiology behind that
以及是什么在背后促成了我們的睡眠
So this is just a picture of night scene
這只是一張夜晚的圖片
but we are controlled by day and night
我們受白天和黑夜的控制
light and dark
受光明和黑暗的影響
Light comes in through our retina
光線穿過我們的視網膜
through the eye into the retina
通過眼球進入視網膜
and the light is a signal actually to the brain
然后對大腦和松果體
and to the pineal gland
發出信號
