TED英文演说-睡眠是你的超能力中英演讲稿.pdf

Sleep is your superpower Matt Walker 2019 Thank you very much. Well, I would like to start with testicles. 非常感谢你。好吧，我想从睾丸开始。 Men who sleep five hours a night have significantly smaller testicles than those who sleep seven hours or more. 每晚睡5 个小时的男性睾丸明显小于睡7 个小时或更长时间的睾丸。 In addition, men who routinely sleep just four to five hours a night will have a level of testosterone which is that of someone 10 years their senior. So a lack of sleep will age a man by a decade in terms of that critical aspect of wellness. And we see equivalent impairments in female reproductive health caused by a lack of sleep. 此外，经常每晚睡四到五个小时的男性将有一个睾丸激素水平，这是一个 10 岁 以上的人。因此，就健康的关键方面而言，缺乏睡眠将使男性年龄增长十年。我 们看到由于睡眠不足导致的女性生殖健康受到同等损害。 This is the best news that I have for you today. 这是我今天为您提供的最佳新闻。 From this point, it may only get worse. Not only will I tell you about the wonderfully good things that happen when you get sleep, but the alarmingly bad things that happen when you dont get enough, both for your brain and for your body. 从这一点来看，它可能只会变得更糟。我不仅会告诉你睡眠时发生的奇妙美好事 物，还会告诉你当你没有得到足够的，无论是对你的大脑还是对你的身体都会发 生的令人担忧的坏事。 Let me start with the brain and the functions of learning and memory, because 第 1 页 what weve discovered over the past 10 or so years is that you need sleep after learning to essentially hit the save button on those new memories so that you dont forget. 让我从大脑以及学习和记忆的功能开始讲起，因为我们在过去十年的研究发现， 在你学习完后，应该睡觉，以按下新记忆的保存按钮，这样才不会遗忘。 But recently, we discovered that you also need sleep before learning to actually prepare your brain, almost like a dry sponge ready to initially soak up new information. And without sleep, the memory circuits of the brain essentially become waterlogged, as it were, and you cant absorb new memories. 但是最近，我们发现在学习之前你也需要睡眠，来准备好自己的头脑，就像是一 块干海绵，准备好开始吸
