In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, “Theres even a prohibition against admitt

21、ing we need sleep.” Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at the switch. To quote an obscure proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.” Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at the switch is to take naps when you need them. “We have to total

22、ly change our attitude toward napping,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research. Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt,” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about

23、the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze every afternoon. About 60% of American adults nap when gi

24、ven the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid-afternoon quiescent phase,” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and improve alertness. Clearly, we were born to nap. We Superstars of Snooze dont nap to replace lost shut-eye or to

25、 prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. Call it somnia. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors, couches and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums. There is an exquisite pleasure in giving one

26、self over to drowsiness, particularly if youre supposed to be doing something else. And we should all note, napping is one of the few pleasures left that are not life-threatening. The pathologically alert like to think they get more done than nappers. Wrong again. Winston Churchill slept every after

27、noon when he was the wartime Prime Minister of England. Napoleon napped on the battlefield. Calvin Coolidge, Lyndon Johnson and John Kennedy all took naps. If there is to be a transformation of American sleep behavior, we nappers, the sleep elite, will have to share our “sleeping skills” with those

28、less fortunate than we are, or the nap-impaired. For starters, here are a few of my favorite naps. At work: Nap freedom, to me, is as great an incentive as money or power. Sleeping at work is superbly satisfying, and in some cases necessary. Truck drivers should pull over at the first sign of drowsi

29、ness as should anyone operating machinery, including a word processor. In class: These naps can be pleasant because of the risk involved. I once succumbed to drowsiness in a high-school French class and was awakened by my teacher singing, “Frere Jackques, Frere Jacques, dormezvous?” William Dement h

30、as designated sleeping sections in his courses at Stanford. At a concert: Sleeping (discreetly) at a concert can be among lifes great experiences. One rides the music, wafted this way and that on themes and leitmotifs. Wagner in particular promotes vivid dreams. Best nap of all: My all-time-favorite

31、 way to snooze is in a hammock on a screened-in porch, on a mild summer day and this is what makes it perfect a huge, important book on my chest, open and unread. Such napping says much about the principles we live by and sleep by. Theres the story told about a young playwright who once asked a famo

32、us author to view a rehearsal of his new play. The author slept through the whole thing. Afterward the young man complained, saying he really had wanted the authors opinion. In a pithy summation of the committed nappers view of life, the author replied, “Sleep is an opinion.”1. It is commonly accept

33、ed in American society that too much sleep is _.A)unreasonableB)criminalC)harmfulD)costly2. The research done by the Commission shows that Americans _.A)dont like to take napsB)are terribly worried about their national debtC)sleep less than is good for themD)have caused many industrial and traffic a

34、ccidents3. The purpose of this article is to _.A)warn us of the wickedness of nappingB)explain the danger of sleepinessC)discuss the side effects of nappingD)convince the reader of the necessity of napping4. The “American debt” is the result of _.A)the traditional misconception the Americans have ab

35、out sleepB)the new sleep policy of Clinton AdministrationC)the rapid development of American industryD)the Americans worry about the danger of sleepiness5. The sentence “Rather, we snack on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it.” means that it is _.A)preferable to have a sou

36、nd sleep before a night shiftB)good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC)essential to make up for lost sleepD)natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itThe amount of sleep each person needs depends on many factors, including age. Infants generally require about 16 hours a

37、 day, while teenagers need about 9 hours on average. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep, although some people may need as few as 5 hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day. Women in the first 3 months of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep

38、 than usual. The amount of sleep a person needs also increases if he or she had been deprived of sleep in previous days. Getting too little sleep creates a “sleep debt”, which is much like being overdrawn at a bank. Eventually, your body will demand that the debt be repaid. We dont seem to adapt to

39、getting less sleep than we need; while we may get used to a sleep-depriving schedule, our judgment, reaction time, and other functions are still impaired. People tend to sleep more lightly and for shorter time spans as they get older, although they generally need about the same amount of sleep as th

40、ey needed in early adulthood. About half of all people over 65 have frequent sleeping problems, such as insomnia, and deep sleep stages in many elderly people often become very short or stop completely. This change may be a normal part of aging, or it may result from medical problems that are common

41、 in elderly people and from the medications and other treatments for those problems. Experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you havent had enough sleep. If you routinely fall asleep within 5 minutes of lying down, you probably have severe sleep deprivation

42、, possibly even a sleep disorder. Microsleeps, or very brief episodes of sleep in an otherwise awake person, are another mark of sleep deprivation. In many cases, people are not aware that they are experiencing microsleeps. The widespread practice of “burning the candle at both ends” in western indu

43、strialized societies has created so much sleep deprivation that what is really abnormal sleepiness is now almost the norm. Many studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous. Sleep-deprived people who are tested by using a driving simulator or by performing a hand-eye coordination task p

44、erform as badly as or worse than those who are intoxicated. Sleep deprivation also magnifies alcohols effects on the body, so a fatigued person who drinks will become much more impaired than someone who is well rested. Driver fatigue is responsible for an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle accidents an

45、d 1,500 deaths each year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since drowsiness is the brains last step before falling asleep, driving while drowsy can and often does lead to disaster. Caffeine and other stimulants cannot overcome the effects of severe sleep deprivation. The National Sleep Foundation says that if you have trouble keeping your eyes focused, if you cant stop yawning, or if you cant remember driving the last few miles, you are probably too drowsy to drive safely.6. Which of the following statements about “sleep debt” is true according
