Passage One
短文一
Mothers have been warned for years that sleeping with their newborn infant is a bad idea because it increases the risk that the baby might die unexpectedly during the night.
多年來媽媽們一直被警告，與新生兒睡在一起不好，因為這會增加嬰兒夜間意外死亡的風險。
But now Israeli researchers are reporting that even sleeping in the same room can have negative consequences: not for the child, but for the mother.
以色列的研究人員發現媽媽和嬰兒在同一個房間睡覺會產生負面影響：不是對嬰兒而是對媽媽。
Mothers who slept in the same room as their infants, whether in the same bed or just the same room, had poorer sleep than mothers whose babies slept elsewhere in the house:
無論媽媽和嬰兒是同床睡還是只是在同一個房間睡覺，媽媽的睡眠質量都不如和嬰兒分房睡覺媽媽們的睡眠質量好。
They woke up more frequently, were awake approximately 20 minutes longer per night, and had shorter periods of uninterrupted sleep.
她們醒來的頻率會更高，每晚醒著的時間要多出大約20分鐘，其中每段的睡眠時間也會較短。
These results held true even taking into account that many of the women in the study were breast-feeding their babies.
很多被調查的媽媽是母乳喂養，她們的睡眠結果也與上述調查結果一致。
Infants, on the other hand, didn't appear to have worse sleep whether they slept in the same or different room from their mothers.
另一方面，嬰兒無論是否和媽媽在同一個房間睡覺，她們的睡眠質量都不受影響。
The researchers acknowledge that since the families they studied were all middle-class Israelis,
研究人員承認由于他們的研究對象都是以色列的中產階級家庭。
it's possible that the results will be different in different cultures.
研究結果有可能不適用于其他文化背景的家庭。
Lead author Liat Tikotzky wrote in an email that the research team also didn't measure fathers' sleep,
第一作者Liat Tikotzky在一封電子郵件中寫到研究團隊還沒有研究爸爸的睡眠，
so it's possible that their sleep patterns could also be causing the sleep disruptions for moms.
所以爸爸的睡眠模式也可能導致媽媽睡眠中斷。
Right now, to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that mothers not sleep in the same bed as their babies, but sleep in the same room.
現在，為了降低嬰兒猝死的風險，美國兒科學會建議媽媽們不要跟嬰兒同床睡，但可以睡在一個房間。
The Israeli study suggests that doing so may be best for baby, but may take a toll on Mom.
以色列的研究顯示這樣做可能對嬰兒最好，但是媽媽們可能要付出巨大的代價。
