爱发短信？你该放下手机的7个理由

We all know that cell phone use during the wee hours can be disruptive to our sleep patterns, but it's also true that texting during the day could harm our ability to get a good night's sleep, according to a recent study in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture.

众所周知，凌晨用手机会扰乱睡眠模式；其实，根据期刊《大众传媒文化心理学》的最新研究，白天发短信也会影响到晚上的睡眠质量。

In the study, researchers followed the stress levels, texting habits and sleep of first year college students. They found that regardless of stress levels, the more people texted during the day the poorer their sleep was.

在该项研究中，研究人员跟踪调查了大一学生的压力程度、发短信习惯以及睡眠状况，结果表明，撇开压力不谈，人们白天发短信越频繁，睡眠质量也越差。

2. Your divided attention could keep you from what's truly important

注意力分散，错失真正重要的东西

We're not just talking about missing special moments -- although surely, texting during time spent with loved ones can prevent full engagement. We're talking about priorities.

这里要讲的不是错失特殊时刻——当然，和爱人在一起时发短信会妨碍约会。这里强调的是优先次序。
