研究表明气候变化可能导致睡眠减少

Climbing nighttime temperatures, driven by climate change, may harm human sleep, a new study revealed, with the poor and elderly most affected.

一项最新研究表明，气候变化导致的夜间气温上升，可能危害人们的睡眠，其中低收入者和老人受到的影响最大。

"What our study shows is not only that ambient temperature can play a role in disrupting sleep but also that climate change might make the situation worse by driving up rates of sleep loss," Nick Obradovich, who conducted much of the research as a doctoral student in political science at the University of California San Diego, said in a statement.

加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校的政治学博士、该研究的负责人尼克·奥布拉多维奇在一份声明中说道：“我们的研究不仅表明环境温度可干扰睡眠，而且还能显示出气候变化导致睡眠损失率上升，可能让情况变得更糟。”

In a study published last week by the U.S. journal Science Advances, Obradovich and colleagues looked at responses from 765,000 individuals across the United States who took part in a public health survey, alongside temperature data from 2002 to 2011.

美国杂志《科学进展》于上周刊登了奥布拉多维奇和其同事的一项研究，他们分析了76.5万名参与调查的美国公民在2002年至2011年的睡眠数据。

They found that a one-degree Celsius increase in nighttime temperature translates to three nights of insufficient sleep per 100 individuals per month.
