Many adults may think they’re getting enough shut-eye, but in a major sleep study almost 80 percent of respondents admitted to not getting their prescribed amount of nightly rest. Research shows that adults need an average of seven to nine hours of sleep a night for optimal functionality.
By getting less than six hours of sleep a night, you put yourself at risk for high blood pressure. When you sleep, your heart gets a break and slows down for a significant period of time. But cutting back on sleep means your heart has to work overtime without its allotted break. In constantly doing so, your body must accommodate to its new conditions and elevate your overall daily blood pressure. And the heart isn’t the only organ that is overtaxed by a lack of sleep. The less sleep you get, the less time the brain has to regulate stress hormones, and over time, sleep deprivation could permanently hinder the brain’s ability to regulate these hormones, leading to elevated blood pressure.
Prolonged sleep deprivation has long been associated with diminished immune functions, but researchers have also found a direct correlation between "modest" sleep deprivation—less than six hours—and reduced immune response.
During deep REM sleep, your muscles (except those in the eyes) are essentially immobilized in order to keep you from acting out on your dreams. Unfortunately, this effort your body makes to keep you safe while dreaming can sometimes
backfire
, resulting in sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain is aroused from its RMR cycle, but the body remains in its immobilizing state. This can be quite a frightening sensation because, while your mind is slowly regaining consciousness, it has no control over your body, leaving some with a feeling of powerlessness, fear and panic.
Imagine all of your memories are erased. It’s a chilling thought, but that is what a life without sleep would be like. Sleep is essential to the cognitive functions of brain, and without it, our ability to consolidate memories, learn daily tasks, and make decisions is impaired by a large degree. Research has revealed that REM sleep, or dream-sleep, helps solidify the "fragile" memories the brain creates throughout the day so that they can be easily organized and stored in the mind’s long-term cache.
According to the passage, with which of the following statements would the author most likely agree?
选项
A、Persons who suffer from a sleep disorder do not necessarily consult with their physician.
B、Persons who are sleep deprived are more vulnerable to respiratory problems like the common cold and influenza.
C、Poor sleep habits can affect people’s risk of becoming overweight in the short run.
D、The identification of sleep deprivation in nurses is not so important as drivers for maintaining safe.
答案
B
解析
整篇文章都在讨论睡眠不足所带来的后果:高血压(第二段),免疫系统功能下降(第三段),睡眠瘫痪(第四段),记忆丧失(第五段)。第三段着重讨论睡眠不足导致免疫系统功能下降,如果免疫系统功能下降,那么,睡眠不足的人群就易于患上呼吸系统疾病,如普通感冒和流感。由此可以推出作者同意选项[B]。
