Sleeplessness
Insomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause. Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you. For women who are having night sweats, their sleep is broken by frequent awakening and therefore not refreshing. Generally once the night sweats are controlled a normal sleep pattern returns. If it doesn't it may be, or have become chronic insomnia. How do you know？
If you suffer from insomnia every night or most nights for a period of one month then you have chronic insomnia. If you're not having night sweats then it's time to look for other causes of sleeplessness. Depression and anxiety disorders are the most common causes of chronic insomnia. If you feel depressed you need to be checked by a qualified health care provider. Movement disorders such as restless leg syndrome are second on the list of insomnia for them; there are new medicines that may help. Other common causes are shift working, and pain.
In up to 30% of people with chronic insomnia no cause can be identified. Medical treatment of these people has generally been with sleeping pills. It is estimated that 25% of the adult population in America took some type of medicines for sleep last year. It is generally agreed that sleeping pills should only be in the lowest dose and for the shortest possible time.
Sleep hygiene is directed at changing bad sleep habits. The recommendations are: —Go to bed only when sleepy. —Do not wait up to a specified time. —Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening, etc.
The word "insomnia" in the first paragraph means
A．having trouble falling or staying asleep.
B．feeling that one's sleep is adequate for him.
C．having no sweats at night.
D．having a normal sleep pattern.
第6题
听力原文： So, is everyone awake？ I guess that's a good question at the start of an early-morning lecture about sleep. About 30% of adults say they frequently don't feel rested when they wake up in the morning. And why is that？ Why, in most cases it is because they stayed up too late partying or watching TV. But in a small percentage of cases, they could be suffering from a sleep disorder, er— a condition that interferes with a person's ability to sleep normally. There are many different kinds of sleep disorders but the three I want to describe today are called sleep apnea, narcolepsy and insomnia.
OK, the first disorder I list is sleep apnea. That's A-P-N-E-A. People with sleep apnea stop breathing, sometimes for 10 seconds or longer. And not just once; it can happen several hundred times a night! Each time this happens, they wake up and go right back to sleep, so their sleep is constantly interrupted, but in the morning, they don't remember waking up. They just feel tired and sleepy. The usual symptoms are heavy breathing and snoring, combined with feeling tired all the time.
The second sleep disorder I want to describe today is called narcolepsy. That's spelled N-A-R- C-O-L-E-P-S-Y. Perhaps you've seen a movie in which people are sitting at a table, eating and talking, and suddenly one person just falls over; perhaps his face falls into his soup. It's funny in a movie, but in reality this could be a symptom of narcolepsy. Narcoleptic persons get sudden attacks of sleep, in the middle of the day, any time, any place. They can't control it; they simply fall asleep for brief periods of time. By the way, this disorder appears to be particularly frequent among students enrolled in 8 a.m. classes. But seriously, narcolepsy can be quite scary.
Sleep apnea and narcolepsy are serious problems, hut they are rare conditions. In contrast, the third disorder I want to discuss, insomnia, is quite common. Insomnia means difficulty either falling asleep or staying asleep. Almost everybody has insomnia once in a while. But I want to talk about chronic insomnia, which is when sleeping becomes difficult for weeks, months, or years at a time. The cause could be either psychological or physical. Most often, it's psychological; that is, it's caused by stress—you know, worrying about problems at work or at home and so on. Or the cause could be physical such as too much caffeine or nicotine in the body. Both of these chemicals are stimulants that can keep you from sleeping.
So, in summary, the thing I want you to remember is that everyone suffers from occasional sleeping problems, but a large number of people suffer from serious sleep disorders such as insomnia, apnea, and narcolepsy. As you've heard, these disorders have distinct symptoms, causes and treatment. Thanks to a lot of research in this area in the last few decades, doctors are now about to send patients to special sleep disorder clinics for specialized treatment. Since human beings spend one third of our lives sleeping, we should all be glad that medical science is now able to help people with sleeping problems.

Sleep
For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light, shift work, all-night cable TV and the Internet, Earth's creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24-hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle. Simply put, our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a halfhours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives. (Contrary to popular belief, humans don't need less sleep as they age.)
But in average, Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night, a marked drop from the nine hours they averaged in 1910. What's worse, nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people, that's not nearly enough.
Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in, by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed as other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. "Before we do anything else, we look at their sleep," Jones says.
Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns. "My motto (座右铭) is 'Sleep defensively' ," says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep, even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines—like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day—are important. Pre-bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elaner, who used to suffer from sleeplessness, a few lifestyle. changes—avoiding stimulants and late meals, exercising hours before bedtime, relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.
What is TRUE of human sleep？ ______.
A．Most people need less sleep when they grow older.
B．Most people need seven and a half hours of sleep every night.
C．On average, people in the U. S today sleep less per night than they used to.
D．For most people, less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night is enough.
