Question

(A) No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects (產生明顯的反應) after a few days—they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations (幻覺).

There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. (B)如果你感覺好的話, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.

Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns (睡眠模式) also tend (傾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting worse, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
