摘要
如果你在一个月的某些时候睡不着,那可能是因为满月。华盛顿大学的科学家们说,月运周期和睡眠模式之间存在联系。他们说,在满月的夜晚,人们会睡得更不安稳,原因可能是月亮亮度的变化。当有满月时,夜空中额外的亮度会妨碍我们的睡眠。科学家们说:“对人眼来说月光是如此明亮,完全有理由想象,在没有其他光源的情况下,这种夜间光源可能在改变人类夜间活动和睡眠中起作用。”
If you have trouble sleeping at certain times of the month,it could be because of a full moon.Scientists from the University of Washington say there is a link between the lunar cycle and sleeping patterns.They say that on nights when there is a full moon,people could experience more restless sleep.The reason for this could be the Moon’s changing brightness.When there is a full moon,the extra brightness in the night sky could interrupt our sleep.The scientists said,"Moonlight is so bright to the human eye that it is entirely reasonable to imagine that,in the absence of other sources of light,this source of nocturnal^(1) light could have had a role in changing human nocturnal activity and sleep."
