I’ve often wondered how exactly sleep, or lack of it , can have such a devastating effect on our bodies and, guess what, how much we sleep switches good genes on and bad genes off.
我时常思考,睡眠的充足与否会对我们的身体健康带来怎样严重的后果;也不禁去猜测,多久的睡眠才会让基因发挥有益作用。
In early 2013, the Sleep Research Centre at the University of Surrey found a direct link between hours spent sleeping and genes.
2013年初,英国萨里大学的睡眠研究中心发现,睡眠时长与基因之间存在直接联系。
Every cell in our bodies carries genetic instructions in our DNA that act as a kind of operating manual. However, each cell only ‘reads’ the portion of this manual it needs at any given moment.
我们人体的每一个细胞中DNA所携带的遗传指令都相当于一套操作说明。然而在任何时候,细胞都只能够读取其需要的说明。
Can sleep affect how a gene reads instructions? It’s a question asked by Professor Derk-Jan Dijk at the University of Surrey.
睡眠能够影响基因读取其操作说明吗?萨里大学的教授德克-简•迪克提出了这一问题。
He set up an experiment and asked his volunteers to spend a week sleeping around seven and a half hours to eight hours a night and the next sleeping six and a half to seven hours.
