If 30 to 40% of U.S. adolescents typically get sleep deficient getting less optimal sleep what are the consequences?

There are a lot of data on adults
我們已經有了很多關于成年人的數據
There are increasing data on adolescents but here is a brief summary of what we know
關于青少年的數據也越來越多 這是對我們研究成果的小結
The first is adolescents get very sleepy and sleepy means falling asleep
首先 青少年非常的困倦 困倦就意味著他們會睡著
Why they fall asleep?
為什么會睡著呢?
Not during exciting social interactions not during the things they want to do
肯定不是在社交場合睡著 也不是從事自己喜歡的事情時睡著
it's when there's lower arousal boring situations in dim light classrooms driving cars, late at night
當環境中的刺激因素減少時 他們就會睡著 例如在昏暗的教室里 半夜開車時睡著
That's a huge part of the consequence
這些都是睡眠不足造成的后果

As Mat Walker's lab and a number of labs around the world
正如馬特沃克的實驗室 以及全世界很多實驗室的研究發現
they are showing increasingly the importance of sleep for learning memory and skill learning as procedure learning as well
睡眠不足對學習能力 記憶力 技能的學習有著越來越大的影響
