睡不好的危害

Your brain doesn't work as well

脑子变得不好使

According to the CDC, insufficient sleep is a public health problem, with more than a third of adults in the U.S. getting less than the recommended seven to eight hours per night.

根据CDC的统计，有三分之一美国人的睡眠时间达不到推荐每晚7-8小时，睡眠不足成了一个公共健康问题。

When you don't get adequate sleep—whether due to a chronic issue like sleep apnea, lifestyle reasons like long work hours or raising young children, or bad habits like bingeing on Facebook before bed—it takes a toll on your brain's ability to function.

你的睡眠不足要么就是慢性病比如睡眠呼吸中断症，要么就是由于长时间工作或者带小孩子所形成的生活方式，还有就是睡觉前喜欢刷Facebook等引起你的大脑工作紊乱。

"MRI imaging shows lack of sleep reduces blood flow to areas of the brain that control higher level thought processes," says Richard Shane, PhD, a behavioral sleep specialist. "

“磁共振成像显示，睡眠不足会导致流入大脑高级控制负责思考区域的血液减少。”睡眠行为专家RichardShane博士如是说。

It impairs your problem-solving abilities, slows your cognitive speed, and decreases constructive thinking skills and logical reasoning."

进而影响你解决问题的能力，认知速度的延迟，具有建设性的思考和逻辑推理能力的减弱。
