But let me talk a little bit about the importance of sleep
我想簡單講講睡眠的重要性
though I don't need to convince most of the people here
盡管我不需要給大家灌輸這個概念
Sleep is a lot like a diet
睡眠就像飲食一樣
It represents a biological imperative
是一種生理必然活動
that's based on both quantity and quality
由數量和質量來決定
so we need a certain amount and certain quality
所以我們需要一定數量和質量的睡眠
We meet those needs by engaging in behaviors
我們通過行為活動來保證這一點
And these behaviors are largely driven
而我們的行為則受到
by genetics and intrapersonal factors
基因和人際因素的驅動
so for example
例如
if you...we took sleep diaries of everyone in this room
如果我們對在座各位的睡眠情況做一個每日記錄
they would not be randomly distributed across the day
那么你們的睡眠不是在一天當中平均分布的
There is a reason that we sleep at night
我們夜晚睡覺是有原因的
and a lot of those are biological
大多數原因是生理上的原因
But the behaviors that we engage in
但我們為滿足這些生理需求
to meet these biological needs are socially constructed
而實施的行為則是社會構建的
influenced by the environment
受到環境的影響
and dictated by societal norms
由社會規范來決定
That becomes very important
當我們談論保證睡眠質量
when we are talking about differences in sleep attainment
對健康有重要的影響時
being important for health
這一觀點顯得非常的重要
So a little bit to rehash a little bit of the background
所以我簡單的給大家回顧一下背景信息
We know from over 40 studies spanning over 40 years
我們40多年間開展的40多項研究中了解到
that people who report short or long sleep
自述短期和長期睡眠的人的壽命
don't live as long as people who report about 7 to 8 hours
短于自述每天睡7到8小時的人
This is just the data from the largest of those studies ever done
這只是從大量研究數據中得出的數據
This data was collected about 20 years ago
這些數據是20年前的數據
published about 10 years ago
大約發表于10年前
by Kripke's colleagues over a million U.S. adults
克里帕奇及其同事對上百萬的美國成年人
on the why access you have...
進行了調查
the mortality has ratio relative
比較男性和女性壽命
to 7 hours you see in men and women
與7小時睡眠之間的關系
