    New research shows【S1】______sleep loss cannot be cured that easily. Scientists studied the effects of short- and long-term sleep loss respectively and found that people with long-term sleep loss may function normally soon after waking up, but experience steadily slower reaction times as the day【S2】______on, even if they had tried to catch up the previous night.
