It will come as no surprise to know that a lack of sleep isn't good for us. A new report suggests sleep deprivation can result in long-term health issues and even death. It also says that women are more likely to experience difficulties sleeping than men. The report is based on a survey of 4,100 British adults and is called 'Reclaim Your Sleep'. It is from a British group called the Sleep Apnoea Trust Association. Apnoea is the temporary cessation of breathing, especially during sleep. Almost half of the women surveyed (43 per cent) said they did not get enough sleep. This compared to 36 per cent of men who said they did not sleep well. Women were also more prone than men to waking up during the night.

眾所周知，睡眠不足無(wú)益于身體健康。新報(bào)告指出，睡眠不足會(huì)導(dǎo)致長(zhǎng)期健康疾病，甚至是死亡。該報(bào)告還表示稱(chēng)，女性睡眠問(wèn)題很有可能多于男性。該研究名為“重奪睡眠”，并對(duì)4100名英國(guó)成人進(jìn)行了調(diào)查。并由英國(guó)“睡眠呼吸暫?；饡?huì)”發(fā)起。“Apnoea”意指睡眠時(shí)的呼吸暫停。近一半受訪女性（43%）表示自己睡眠不足。而男性睡眠不足人數(shù)為36%。女性較男性更容易起夜。

Health experts have warned that feeling exhausted due to a lack of sleep could be a sign of a serious underlying medical condition. However, many women are unaware of the dangers, with only a quarter seeing a doctor about sleeplessness. Professor John Stradling of Oxford University said: "Often women think that feeling exhausted is just part of modern life when in fact it could be something more serious." He added that not treating sleep deficiency, "leaves women at risk of reduced quality of life and serious health conditions". In more severe cases, when left untreated, conditions like sleep apnoea can kill people because it can bring on heart attacks and strokes.

健康專(zhuān)家警告稱(chēng)，若因睡眠不足而感到精神疲憊，這很有可能是嚴(yán)重健康疾病跡象。然而，許多女性并沒(méi)有注意到它的危險(xiǎn)，僅四分之一女性會(huì)因失眠就診。來(lái)自牛津大學(xué)的約翰·斯特拉德林教授認(rèn)為：“許多女性通常會(huì)認(rèn)為身心疲憊只是現(xiàn)代生活的一部分，但這其實(shí)是嚴(yán)重問(wèn)題。”他還表示稱(chēng)，如果對(duì)睡眠不足放任不管，生活質(zhì)量就有下降風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，嚴(yán)重健康疾病也會(huì)召之即來(lái)。”在嚴(yán)重情況下，像“睡眠呼吸暫停癥”等癥狀會(huì)致人死亡，因?yàn)樵摷膊?huì)引發(fā)心臟病或中風(fēng)。
