If you've ever pushed back your bedtime to watch just one more episode of Orange Is the New Black, or lay in bed wide-eyed after streaming three exhilarating hours of Game of Thrones, this new research probably won't surprise you. A new study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine is the first to link binge-watching with poorer sleep quality, more fatigue, and increased insomnia. 如果你为了看《女子监狱》延迟了睡觉时间或是看了三个小时的令人振奋的《权利的游戏》后躺在床上十分清醒,那这项新研究可能就不会让你惊讶了。《临床睡眠医学杂志》(the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine)刊登的一项新研究首次将疯狂刷剧与睡眠质量差、疲劳以及失眠联系在一起。 Not only does on-demand TV tempt us to keep watching episode after episode, say the study's authors, but the shows are also designed to draw us in, boost suspense, and emotionally invest in plotlines and characters. This can lead to excitement and increased arousal, the research shows, which can translate into "increased cognitive alertness" and an inability to get the shuteye you need. 研究作者说,不仅点播电视诱惑我们看完一集再看一集,而且这些电视剧的目的就是为了吸引我们、设置悬疑,让我们全身心投入于剧情和角色。研究表明,这会让我们兴奋、睡不着,可以解读为"认知警觉性提高"以及做不到闭眼。 |
