睡眠专家对失眠和梦境的见解

Sleep usually leaves people feeling rested and refreshed, but for the patients of clinical neurologist Guy Leschziner, their non-waking moments are generally anything but peaceful. One realizes that she's been taking her motorcycle out for a ride while fast asleep only after her landlady asks her where she went. Another moves around in his sleep, acting out his dreams — and terrifying his partner in the process. Still others suffer from insomnia, sleep deprivation, and night terrors.

睡觉通常会让人放松、神清气爽，但对临床神经学家Guy Leschziner的患者而言，他们的睡眠时刻一点儿都不平静。其中一位患者意识到，她一直在外面骑摩托车，只有当房东问她去哪了之后，她才能快速入睡。另一位患者会在睡梦中动来动去——甚至吓坏了另一半。而其他人则失眠、缺觉、夜惊。

Leschziner describes their cases. "These cases are interesting in two separate ways — the first is just simply the drama of the stories, the human experiences of these patients," Leschziner says. "But also, when one looks at the extremes, it informs us normal as well. By seeing these patients and seeing where the problem is in the brain, we understand something about how our brains regulate sleep."

Leschziner描述了这些病例。“这些病例非常有趣，原因有二——其一，这只是戏剧性的故事，是这些患者的人性经历，”Leschziner说道。“但从极端角度而言，它也提醒了我们普通人。通过观察这些患者，了解他们大脑中的问题，我们逐渐了解大脑对睡眠的调节。”
