Sleep and the phases of the Moon 睡眠与月相 Lunacy? 精神失常? People do not sleep easy on nights when there is afull Moon 月圆之夜,不能安眠 IT SOUNDS like an idea dreamed up over a fewbeers in the pub one evening. 这听起来就像某晚在酒吧喝了几杯啤酒后的胡说八道。 And that, those involved freely admit, is exactly what it was. 提出这个观点的人也坦诚的这电子的确就是这么来的。 As Christian Cajochen and his colleagues put it in their paper on the matter in CurrentBiology, We just thought of it after a drink in a local bar one evening at full Moon. 他的同事和Christian Cajochen将有关睡眠与月相研究的论文放到了《当代生物学》上,我们就是月圆的那晚在附近一个酒吧喝了几杯才想到的。 It was a way of testing the persistent but unproven idea that the full Moon affects humanbehaviour, generally for the worse. 这是个未经证实的测试持久性的方法,满月会影响人的行为,总的来说,它将恶化你的行为。 In prescientific days this was expressed in terms like moonstruck and lunatic. 现代科学出现以前,这种情况被称作月色撩人或者痴狂。 |
