Sleep is part of a person’s daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, you temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm of rather fast waves for a few minutes. This is called stage 1 sleep.. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through stage 2 and stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep. slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40 to 60 minutes after you lose consciousness you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain will show the large slow waves that are known as the delta rhythm. This is stage 4 sleep.
You do not remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes and is called REM sleep. It is ring REM sleep period, your body will soon relax again, your breathing will grow slow and regular once more. Your breathing will slip gently back from stage 1 to stage 4 sleep----only to rise once again to the surface of near consciousness some 80 minutes later.
睡眠是人每天日常活动循环的一部分。人的睡眠分几个阶段,而这些阶段也是循环发生的。如果你是一个正常的睡眠者,你的睡眠循环会这样进行。
在你开始昏昏入睡时,你的眼睛会滚动几下,体温略有下降,肌肉放松,呼吸变得缓慢而有节奏。除了开始几分钟比较快的α节奏外,脑电波也稍有减缓。
这被称为第一阶段睡眠。在随后约半小时内,你进一步放松,进入第二和第三阶段睡眠。睡眠越深入,脑电波就越缓慢。大约在开始睡眠后的40到
60分钟,你将进入沉睡状态。这时的脑电波表现为巨大的缓波,被称为δ节奏。这就是第四阶段睡眠。
但你并不是整夜都保持这种沉睡状态。入睡后约80分钟左右,你的大脑运动水平会再度略有提高。δ节奏消失,并被脑电波的运动图形取代。你的眼睛会
在 闭着的眼睑下迅速转动,就好象你在看着眼前发生的什么事情。这种迅速的眼球运动持续约8~15分钟,这一阶段睡眠被称之为快速眼动(REM)睡眠。在 REM睡眠阶段,你的肢体会很快再度放松,呼吸也再次放慢并变得有节奏,你会轻松地从第一阶段滑入第四阶段睡眠-直到大约80分钟后重新接近清醒状态。
❷ 求一篇讲睡眠质量的英语文章
insomnia is derailing your sleep, a prescription sleeping pill may not be the best cure. Here are some options to explore:
Practice good "sleep hygiene." This does not mean making sure your bedding is clean! It means following good sleep habits, especially ensuring the bedroom environment is concive to sleep. Among experts’ recommendations: Use the bedroom only for sleep and sex; keep regular sleep and wake times; eliminate afternoon caffeine; banish pets (and snoring partners) from the bedroom; ensure the bedroom is a dark, cool, quiet place; and get computers and TVs out of the sleep environment, because they stimulate the brain and their light tells the body "it’s daytime," disrupting the internal clock.
Break the rules when necessary.While exprts’ common-sense recommendations about sleep hygiene should be the first line of defense against insomnia, selectively breaking them can sometimes help, too. TV isn’t recommended, for example, but a DVD or show (make it a boring one) may put some people to sleep. "Listen to experts’ rules; don’t throw them out," says Gayle Greene, 65, a lifelong insomniac who has learned to cope. But "bend them, make them work for you."
Develop a pre-bed relaxation ritual."Alts need these rituals, too," says Meir Kryger, director of sleep research and ecation at Gaylord Hospital in Wallingford, Conn. "You’d be amazed at how helpful they can actually be." To develop a nonstimulating evening ritual, you might recall what your parents did when you were young to get you in sleep mode. Or try taking a hot bath or sipping a warm cup of chamomile tea; either will raise your core body temperature, which leads to a drowsy feeling as you cool down, says Lisa Shives, medical director of Northshore Sleep Medicine in Evanston, Ill.
Try not to self-medicate."I personally don’t recommend that people just go out and treat themselves with over-the-counter medications," says Kryger. "They never solve the problem; they’ll just help you get through." Pharmacies certainly offer lots of sleep remedies. There are antihistamines, like Benadryl, which have a sedative side effect. (The ingredient that causes drowsiness is also found in procts like Tylenol PM and Advil PM.) But those medications can ince next-day grogginess—what some patients call "sleep hangovers"—and they can actually have an alerting or a disorienting effect on the elderly, says Shives. Other OTC options include melatonin supplements and valerian extracts, although evidence of the effectiveness of either is slim, a National Institutes of Health insomnia consensus panel concluded in 2005. And, as Shives says of melatonin, valerian, and similar substances, "Nobody’s regulating this stuff."
Don’t drink to sleep.Sure, sloshing down a little Pinot Noir will put you to sleep, but as the alcohol is metabolized by the body, it fragments sleep, which tends to cause nighttime awakenings and next-day tiredness. "People have the misconception that alcohol helps," says Ralph Downey III, chief of sleep medicine at the Loma Linda University Medical Center in California. "It doesn’t."
Create a barrier between work and sleep.You want to have some sort of break from the day’s stress before sleep, advises Lawrence Epstein, medical director of Sleep HealthCenters in Boston and coauthor of The Harvard Medical School Guide to a Good Night’s Sleep. If you know you’re going to bed at 10:30, stop your day at 10:15, or sooner if you can. Shortchanging that break can be a recipe for insomnia. Write down all the things you need to worry about on a piece of paper, and do your best to leave them behind. Whether asleep or awake, there’s likely nothing you can do about them until tomorrow, anyway.
Don’t "catastrophize." People who can’t sleep tend to compound the problem by fretting about the consequences of their sleeplessness, like the possibility that they’ll do a bad job at work and get fired. Catastrophizing a sleep problem, however, tends to further engrain it, says Shives. "I try to get [people] to calm down," she says. "But that’s kind of like telling a depressed person to perk up."
如果你的睡眠不规律,一张安眠药的药方单也许并非最佳良药。还有以下方法,可供选择:
保持良好的“睡眠卫生”。并不是指保持床上用品干净!“睡眠卫生”是指养成良好的睡眠习惯,尤其是保证卧室环境有益于睡眠。专家的建议包括:将卧室只用于睡觉和做爱;保持规律的作息时间;在下午杜绝一切咖啡因成分;不要让宠物(或打鼾的伴侣)留在卧室里;确保卧室黑暗、凉爽、安静;而且不要在睡眠环境中摆放电脑或电视,因为它们会刺激大脑,而且它们发出的灯光会暗示身体”天亮了“,会打乱体内的生物钟。
必要时,打破规律。专家们有关睡眠卫生的常识性建议应该作为对抗失眠的首要准则,但选择性地违反其中几条也会带来帮助。例如,通常是不推荐看电视的,但一张DVD光碟或秀(比较无聊的那种)也可能以让人犯困。“听专家的建议,并接受它们”,现年65岁的嘉乐.格林(Gayle Greene)说道,他一生都患有失眠,并已经掌握应对方法。“但可以‘改善它们’,让她们为你所用。”
养成睡前放松的习惯。康涅狄格州沃灵福德市的加洛德医院(Gaylord Hospital)的睡眠研究和教育主任梅尔.克瑞格(Meir Kryger)表示,“成年人也同样需要这些习惯,你可能会对这些习惯的实际效果大吃一惊。”为了养成非刺激性的晚间习惯,你应该回忆一下小时候你的父母是如何哄你睡觉的。或者尝试洗一个热水澡或饮一杯温柑橘茶;或提高你的体内温度,而当你体温降下来的时候,你将会觉得昏昏欲睡,伊利诺斯州艾瓦斯顿的北岸睡眠医疗中心(Northshore Sleep Medicine)的医疗主任丽萨.谢福思(Lisa Shives)这样说道。
不要尝试给自己开药。克瑞格说道,“我个人常不建议人们简单地跑到街角医院,给自己胡乱开药。这些药不会解决问题;它们只能短时间内帮助你。”药房当然会提供许多睡眠治疗药物。它们是一些抗组胺剂(如苯海拉明),具有镇静剂一般的副作用。(引起睡意的成分还在其它产品中发现,如Tylenol PM 和Advil PM。)但这些药物可能导致第二天站立不稳-也就是所谓的“睡眠‘宿醉’”。谢福思还说道来源:考试大的美女编辑们,这些药物可能导致老年人变得警惕或迷失方向。其它OTC药物(包括褪黑素补充剂和缬草提取物),国立卫生研究所的失眠共识委员会于2005年得出结论,显示其效果极为微弱。而且谢福思还提到褪黑素、缬草和相似物质,“没有人对这些原料加以规定。”
不要为了睡眠饮酒。诚然,饮下一小杯黑比诺会帮助你入睡,但作为酒精,它促进身体的新陈代谢,会让睡眠变得不连贯,会导致“夜醒”和第二天的乏累。加利福尼亚州的洛马连达大学医学中心的睡眠医学主任,拉尔夫.当尼三世说道,“许多人的思想中有这样的误区,觉得酒精可以帮助睡眠,但事实上并非如此。”
在工作和睡眠制造一道屏障。波士顿睡眠健康中心的医疗督导,同时也是哈佛医学院良好晚间睡眠指南的合著者,劳伦斯.爱普斯顿(Lawrence Epstein)建议,“在睡觉之前,你需要从白天的压力中解脱出来。如果你计划在10:30上床就寝,那么在10:15结束一天的活动,或尽可能早地结束。
这样的休息可以作为治疗失眠的药方。将所有你觉得烦恼的事情写在一张纸上,尽可能地忘掉它们。不论你是睡是醒,这些烦恼的事情都要等到第二天才能解决。
不要“小题大做”。睡眠不好的人容易将这个问题同其它问题加以联系,担心失眠的后果,如可能做不好工作,被炒鱿鱼。谢福斯说道,“将睡眠问题小题大做容易让问题变得根深蒂固”。“我试图(让人们)冷静”,她继续说道,“但这就好像是劝绝望的人振作起来”。

Sleep
It's clear that everyone needs to sleep. Most people rarely think about how and why they sleep, however. We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don't sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable.
It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest. We need to rest our bodies and minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each night we alternate between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that's needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.
Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: the brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total of one and half hours on the average.

❽ 英语阅读理解,与睡眠时间有关(有老年人,小孩等的标准睡眠时间,可以是完形填空
睡眠时间与健康休戚相关 Source: 恒星英语学习网 Onion 2010-02-26 我要投稿 论坛 Favorite People who do not get enough sleep are more than twice as likely todie of heart disease,... Although the reasons are unclear, researcher ssaid lack of sleep appeared to be linked to increased blood pressure,which is known to raise the risk of heart attacks and stroke. 睡眠不足的人死于心脏病的几率是睡眠充足者的两倍多。目前其中的原因尚不清楚,但研究人员称,睡眠不足会导致血压升高,从而增大患心脏病和中风的风险。 A 17-year analysis of 10,000 government workers showed those who cut their sleep from seven hours a night to five or less faced a1.7-fold increased risk of death from all causes and more than double the risk of cardiovascular death. 一项针对1万名政府职员、长达17年的跟踪调查表明,每晚睡眠时间从七个小时减少到五个小时或更少的人因各种原因而死亡的几率是睡眠正常者的1.7倍,而且死于心血管疾病的风险也增加了1倍多。 "A third of the population of the UK and over 40percent in the US regularly sleep less than five hours a night, so itis not a trivial problem," “三分之一的英国人以及超过40%的美国人每晚的睡眠时间常常达不到五个小时,所以这个问题不可小视。” Previous research has highlighted the potential health risks of shift work and disrupted sleep. But the study by Cappuccio and colleagues, which was supported by British government and US funding,is the first to link ration of sleep and mortality rates. 此前有调查发现轮班及睡眠中断会对健康产生潜在威胁。但卡普西奥及其同事的这项调查则首次揭示了睡眠时间长短与死亡率之间的关系。该调查由英国政府和美国基金提供资助。 The study looked at sleep patterns of participants aged 35-55 at two points in their lives - 1985-88 and 1992-93 - and then tracked their mortality rates until 2004. 该调查对年龄在35岁至55岁之间的人在1985年至1988年以及1992年至1993年两个阶段的睡眠模式进行了探究,并对这一人群截至2004年的死亡率进行了追踪。 The results were adjusted to take account of other possible risk factors such as initial age, sex, smoking and alcohol consumption,body mass index, blood pressure and cholesterol. 调查还考虑到了调查对象的初始年龄、性别、是否吸烟喝酒、体重指数、血压及胆固醇指标等其它可能的风险因素。 Cappuccio said it was possible that longer sleeping could be related to other health problems such as depression or cancer-related fatigue. 卡普西奥说,睡眠时间过长也可能导致如抑郁症及癌因性疲乏等其它健康问题。 "In terms of prevention, our findings indicate that consistently sleeping around seven hours per night is optimal forhealth," he said。 他说:“就预防而言,我们的研究结果表明,每晚睡眠时间持续保持在七小时左右最益于身体健康。” From: http://www.hxen.com/englisharticle/yingyuyue/2010-02-26/102298.html
