A：我感觉今天状态不好，昨晚一直没睡着。感觉得请病假去看看睡眠专家了，不然根本没法思考，无法贡献任何有意义的想法。电灯和技术确实让24小时不停歇的工作和生产成为可能。但随之而来的代价就是生物钟紊乱，睡眠不足。 B: Have you been having

A: I don’t feel like myself today. I’ve been up the whole night. I think I will call in sick for work and go to see a sleep therapist before I further undermine my ability to think and produce any idea. The light bulb and technology sure have brought about a world of 24-hour work and production. It has come at the cost of our circadian rhythm and our body’s need for sleep.
B：你最近一直睡不好吗?早看医生确实很必要。失眠真的已经开始困扰很多人了。研究表明每天睡眠不足6小时的人比正常睡眠的人变胖的可能性高30％，因为睡眠不足会让身体不自觉地开始囤积脂肪。此外，睡眠不足很有可能导致抑郁症。
A: Don’t make it sound even worse. Now I know where my extra weight came from. I also begin to think slower, process information slower. It’s totally not the best state to show up to work.
B：我一直以为你把睡眠少当作一件很骄傲的事儿呢，毕竟比别人睡得少就意味着有更多的时间，现在看来也是有后果的啊。希望你这次吸取教训，别熬夜，学会感受自己身体的真实需求，好好睡觉，想小憩的时候就睡。去看医生的话无非也都是这些建议。
A: Thanks, but I’ve never regarded it as a badge of honor. I will really appreciate it if you can cut back on the irony. I know you’ve warned me before and I didn’t listen. But this time I will try your suggestions and my therapist’s, and hope this bad state can pass soon.
