不同年齡階段的女性 睡眠時間多長才合適?大綱

In the same way our diets and exercise regimes have become mainstays of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, so too should we focus on our sleep in order to improve our moods and ability to perform tasks.

在日常飲食和鍛鍊運動已經成爲我們健康生活方式支柱的背景下，我們也應該對我們的睡眠給與關注，從而改善我們的情緒，增強我們執行任務的能力。

But it's often been debated how long a woman needs to rest each night and what's a healthy amount at each age.

但是在關於女人每晚應該睡多少小時，不同年齡段應該睡多久這些問題上，人們一直爭論不休。

Sealy sleep analyst Dr Amy Reynolds spoke to Daily Mail Australia about the importance of a good quality snooze and what it means at every life stage.

西利睡眠分析師艾米·雷諾茲博士日前向《每日郵報》澳大利亞分社講述了優質睡眠的重要性，以及每個年齡段女性的睡眠時間。

1.少女時期

'Teenagers and students in high school need 8-10 hours of sleep on average but as few as seven and as much as 11 hours could be appropriate too,' Dr Reynolds said.

雷諾茲博士表示：“高中階段的女孩們平均需要8到10個小時的睡眠，但是最少7個小時、最多11個小時也是可以的。”

Our constant access to phones and the internet can inhibit our bodies ability to get good quality levels of sleep so it's important to turn all electrical equipment off an hour before hitting the hay.

由於長期使用手機和網絡，我們的身體可能會喪失獲得良好睡眠的能力，因此入睡一小時以前關閉所有電子設備很重要。

2.職場女性

According to a Sealy sleep survey 70 per cent of Australians feel their everyday performance is affected by lack of sleep.

據西利的一份睡眠調查顯示，70%的澳大利亞人覺得睡眠不足影響了自己的日常表現。

'People studying at university or working, typically between the ages of 18 and 25, should be getting 7-9 hours of sleep a night,' Dr Reynolds said.

雷諾茲博士表示：“大學生或者職場人士，一般18到25歲之間的人羣，每晚應該保證7到9小時的睡眠。”

3.母親時代

There should be a bedtime routine for mums just like there is a system in place for young children.

身爲媽媽的女性應該和小孩子一樣有一個固定的就寢時間。

'Women between the ages of 26-60 should be getting around 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Try to get everyone in the family into bed at a reasonable hour by brushing your teeth together and reading a bedtime story,' Dr Reynolds said.

雷諾茲博士表示：“26到60歲之間的女性每晚應該保證大約7到9小時的睡眠。可以通過一起刷牙和讀睡前故事等方式來保證全家人都在合理的時間上牀睡覺。”

4.老年女性

'Women over 60 can get 7-8 hours of rest a night and remain perfectly healthy,' Dr Reynolds said.

雷諾茲指出：“60歲以上女性每晚7到8小時的睡眠就可以保證非常健康了。”

If you find yourself having 'poor' sleep it might be something to raise with your own doctor. Arm yourself with information and how you can best reinvigorate your sleep pattern.

而如果你覺得自己的睡眠“很糟糕”，那你就該諮詢一下自己的醫生了。找找資料，看看怎麼可以恢復自己的睡眠模式。

In terms of trying to 'make up' for lost sleep Dr Reynolds recommends just trying to aim for the recommended amount each night - 'topping' up on sleep isn't necessarily effective, she said.

至於“補覺”的問題，雷諾茲博士認爲每晚只睡推薦時長就可以了，她表示：“補覺其實沒什麼用。”
