睡眠专家对失眠和梦境的见解

The Verge spoke with Leschziner about what makes for a good night's sleep, what's going on in the brain when we dream, and how sleep disorders could provide a window into other health issues. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.

The Verge期刊与Leschziner展开对话：怎样才算睡了个好觉？做梦时大脑会发生哪些变化？睡眠障碍如何带来其它健康问题？为清晰起见，我们已对本次采访略作编辑。

You write a lot about abnormal sleep and the patients that you've encountered in your practice. I'd like to start off by asking about the opposite: what does a normal good night's sleep look like?

您写了很多关于睡眠异常及就诊患者的稿子。但我想从反方面问您一个问题：怎样才算睡了个好觉？

Sleep — as well as being an objective experience — is also a subjective experience. From an objective perspective, a good night's sleep is viewed as having a sufficiently consolidated night's sleep, divided into one or two tranches. If one looks at the population, seven to eight hours is seen as the optimal amount of sleep. But for each individual, the subjective experience of sleep is somewhat different. There could be people who wake up several times a night, but wake up feeling refreshed. Whereas for other people, what is apparently and objectively a good night's sleep, can make them feel extremely tired and unrefreshed. So there is this kind of disparity between the objective physical manifestation of sleep and the subjective experience.
