闹钟响了再贪睡一会有益身体健康吗

Aging Out

年纪大了，贪睡少了

As people age, studies show that they need less sleep and can awaken alert more rapidly, Dr. Dinges' says. So even snooze-addicts can look forward to natural sleep patterns returning as they get older. 'When I was in my 20s, I'd use multiple alarm clocks and snooze away, but now I'm in my mid-60s, so I don't need that much sleep anymore,' he says. He very rarely hits the snooze button, he says.

丁格斯博士说，研究表明，随着人们年岁增高，他们所需的睡眠时间会越来越少，而且会更快地警醒过来。所以就算是嗜爱闹铃响后小睡的人在他们老去的时候也能期望自然睡眠模式的回归。他还说：“在我20多岁的时候，我得用上多个闹钟，可还是会瞌睡过去。但现在我都60多了，所以不再需要那么多的睡眠了。”丁格斯博士称，如今他很少会去按“小睡”键。

The Prime-Time Cure

黄金时段疗法

In an ideal world, Dr. Dinges says, people would go to sleep a little bit earlier and not use an alarm clock at all. He would like to see TV networks schedule prime-time shows earlier. He encourages his patients to go to bed when they are tired, not when they fall asleep on the couch beside Jimmy Kimmel. 'In studies in our lab, we've seen sleep restriction lead to weight gain,' he says. 'Other studies have shown a connection between reduced sleep time and morbidity illness such as diabetes and heart disease.'
