43 We were Born to Nap 我们天生需要午睡

①American society is not nap-friendly.In fact, says David Dinged, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, "This is even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep."Nobody want to be caught napping or found sleep at work.To quote a proverb. "Some sleep five hours,nature requires seven,laziness nine and wickedness eleven."

②Wrong.The way not fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them."We have totally change our attitude toward napping."says Dr. William Dément of Stanford University,the godfather of sleep research.

③Last year a national commission led by Decent identified an "American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt.The commission was concerned about the danger of sleepiness:people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving.

④About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to have "a mid-afternoon quite phase,"also called "a secondary sleep gate. "sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.

⑤We superstar of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.We "snack"on sleep,whenever,wherever and whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and boats;on floors and beds;and in libraries offices and museums.
