白領想要好睡眠?提早關燈關電腦

　

Sleeplessness: One of the worst activities for causing sleep problems is video games, according to the major survey by the U.S. National Sleep Foundation The worst activities are video games, using mobiles and surfing the internet, according to a major survey by the U.S. National Sleep Foundation. Dr Charles Czeisler, of Harvard Medical School, said: ‘Artificial light exposure between dusk and the time we go to bed suppresses release of the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin, enhances alertness and shifts normal sleep patterns to a later hour.’

根據“美國國家睡眠基金會”的研究報告稱，當今製造睡眠問題的最大隱患就是電子設備的干擾，而在諸多電子設備中，“電子遊戲”“手機”“網遊”是最讓人不省心的，他們可以被當作是“當今睡眠殺手”對待，來自“ 哈佛醫學院”的專家Dr Charles Czeisler說：“電子設備的人造光所給睡眠帶來的負面影響不容忽視，即使關掉了，它所釋放出的人造光還是能影響體內荷爾蒙退黑激素(hormone melatonin)，這種退黑激素能引發引發嗜睡與疲倦等SAD的典型症狀，而人造光的後續負面影響會加強大腦負荷與警覺，這種影響至少能持續1個小時。”

One in ten people in their 20s said they were routinely woken during the night by a phone call, text message or email. Professor Jim Horne, director of the sleep research centre at Loughborough University, said: ‘Even children aged five, six and seven have got video games in their bedroom. 'They need to settle down and relax before going to bed.’

有10%的20多歲的年輕人在調查中承認，他們在睡覺過程中，經常被手機鈴聲或者短信和電子郵件吵醒，睡也睡得不心安。來自英國拉夫堡大學的教授Jim Horne說：“現在就連5、6歲的小孩對電子遊戲都相當精通，他們太需要睡前放鬆了。要不這樣下去，對他們的成長十分不利。”

If you want a good night’s sleep, switch off the TV, computer and mobile phone an hour before going to bed, experts say. Nine in ten people admit using electronics in the hour before turning out the lights – and it’s wrecking their sleep patterns, it is claimed. Artificial light emitted by TV and computer screens and over-stimulation of the brain have been blamed.

當今大城市中快節奏的生活方式催生了很多新鮮詞彙，比如：卡奴、房奴、蝸居或者蟻族等等。超負荷的生活壓得人喘不過氣，許多白領身體的“亞健康”狀態也呈現愈發嚴重的態勢，“睡覺”是擺在白領們面前的又一個“考驗”，忙碌了一天的人們到了該睡覺的時候竟然睡不着。這可怎麼辦呢？專家建議，想要擁有一個高質量的睡眠質量，睡前1小時把電視、電腦以及手機等等電子設備關閉。因爲電子設備，比如電視和電腦屏幕所“釋放”出的人造光會“過度刺激”大腦，影響睡眠質量。
