睡眠不足

You're Clumsier Than Usual

反應(yīng)遲鈍

First you knock the alarm clock off the dresser,then you spill the milk as you're pouring your cereal, then you stub your toe on the way out the door -- you've become a klutz overnight.

先是把梳妝臺(tái)上的鬧鐘打落在地，然后把牛奶往麥片中倒的時(shí)候弄撒了，然后邁出家門(mén)時(shí)踢到了腳趾——一夜之間你就變成笨蛋了。

Researchers don't know exactly why, but sleepy people seem to "have slower and less precise motor skills," Clete Kushida, M.D., Ph.D., director of Stanford University Center for Human Sleep Research told Prevention. Reflexes are dulled, balance and depth perception canbe a little wonky and since you may also have trouble focusing, reaction time can be slowed, meaning you can't quite catch the egg carton before it hits thefloor.

斯坦福大學(xué)人類(lèi)睡眠研究中心主任柯萊特·庫(kù)斯達(dá)醫(yī)學(xué)博士對(duì)《預(yù)防》雜志說(shuō)，雖然研究人員不知道確切原因，但昏昏欲睡的人仿佛“反應(yīng)慢，運(yùn)動(dòng)技能差”。反應(yīng)遲鈍可能引起平衡感和深度知覺(jué)較差，而且可能你也很難集中精力，這就導(dǎo)致反應(yīng)時(shí)間長(zhǎng)，也就是說(shuō)在裝雞蛋的盒子砸到地板上之前你無(wú)法迅速接住它。
