Those who were unable to put their phones or laptops to one side were also more likely to be anxious and depressed or suffer learning difficulties. 研究发现，晚上躺在床上发短信息的青少年睡眠质量较差，且更情 绪化。而那些不愿把电话和笔记本电脑放到一边的孩子也有可能染上焦 虑抑郁症，或产生学习问题。 The pilot research team from the JFK Sleep Centre in Edison, New Jersey, gave questionnaires to 40 people aged between eight and 22, asking about their sleep habits and use of texts and emails. Those surveyed sent an average of 33.5 text messages or emails a night to an average of 3.7 people, adding up to 3,404 text messages per person per month. The messages were sent from between ten minutes and four hours after bedtime. 新泽西爱迪生JFK睡眠中心的精英研究团队对40位年龄在8到22岁 的年轻人做了问卷调查，以调查他们的睡眠习惯以及短信、邮件的使用 状况。被调查者平均每晚发送33.5条短信或邮件给平均3.7人，累积一 月一人发送3404条短信，而信息的发送时间集中在上床后的10分钟到4 小时之间。 Across both sexes, emails and texts woke them up once a night on average and a worrying 77 percent had persistent trouble getting to sleep. The results also revealed that using technology after bedtime was associated with high rates of daytime cognitive or mood problems, including ADHD, anxiety, depression and learning difficulties. 不论男生还是女生，他们平均每晚都要被短信或者邮件提示音吵醒 一次，而77%的人有持续的失眠困扰。这些结果也表明了，入睡后继续 实用“高科技”同“高发的日常认知与情绪问题(包括小儿多动症、焦虑 症、抑郁症以及学习障碍)”不无关联。 Researchers said that unlike watching TV, which is a largely passive activity, sending emails and texts involved more interaction so kept the brain busy at the time when it should be shutting down. 研究人员称，不同于看电视这样被动的活动，发邮件以及短信需要 更多互动，使得大脑在本应休息时还处于忙碌状态。
