你可能想不到，睡眠不足的危害究竟有多大！

加州大学伯克利分校人类睡眠科学中心的主任马修•沃克在接受《卫报》采访时解释说，睡眠不足会引发疾病。

Through his work, he’s determined that people who don't get enough sleep tend to be less healthy and have lower energy levels than those who get the recommended amount of shut eye per night.

沃克通过研究发现，与睡眠足够的人相比，那些每晚睡眠不足的人往往健康状况不佳，精力不足。

After analyzing the results of 20 separate studies, he's found a strong correlation between how much people sleep and how long they live. In summary: The less you sleep, the shorter your life will be.

他分析了20个独立的研究结果，发现人们的睡眠时间与寿命长短存在很强的关联。简而言之，睡眠越少，寿命越短。

This is a problem, particularly because many of us are conditioned to equate sleep with laziness. "We want to seem busy, and one way we express that is by proclaiming how little sleep we’re getting," he told The Guardian. "It’s a badge of honor."

我们很多人都把睡觉与懒惰联系起来，这样是不对的。沃克对《卫报》说:“我们想让自己看上去很忙，所以常常对别人说自己睡眠很少，感觉睡得少是一种荣誉勋章。”

When he gives talks, he says people will wait until afterwards to whisper to them that they need eight or nine hours of sleep at night, similar to how someone might confess a crime. But they shouldn’t -- they’re the ones making the healthier choice.
