睡眠不足
You're Ravenous
變得貪吃
If you find yourself hungry all day (and not because you skipped breakfast or have recently amped up your gym routine)it might be because you've been skimping on sleep.
如果你發現自己特別容易餓(不是因為你不吃早餐或最近常去健身房),可能是因為你睡眠不足。
Research presented at the 2010 meeting of theSociety for the Study of Ingestive Behavior linked little shut eye with higher levels of the hormone ghrelin, the same one that triggers hunger, Huff Post reported.
據《赫芬頓郵報》報道,2010年,一份在攝食行為研究學會會議上做的研究報告表明,睡覺不足激素生成量更高,同樣會觸發饑餓感。
You Can't Shake That Cold
容易感冒
If you keep coming down with the sniffles -- orcan't seem to kick that never-ending case -- you might want to assess your sleep schedule. A 2009 study found that people who sleep fewer than seven hours each night have almost three times the risk of catching a cold than people whoslept for at least eight hours, the LA Times reported.
如果你總是鼻涕眼淚流個不停的狀態,您可能就要評估一下你的睡眠時間表了。據《洛杉磯時報》2009年的一項研究發現,每晚睡眠不足七小時的人與至少睡八小時的人相比,患感冒的次數多出三次。
