过度熬夜害处大 睡眠不足易导致发胖

　　A late night not only creates dark circles under the eyes and a grumpy temper - it can cause weight gain too, according to a new study.

　　据一项最新的研究调查显示，熬夜不仅带给我们难看的黑眼圈和坏脾气，同时还会使得体重飙升。

　　Scientists have discovered a lack of sleep can drastically slow the metabolism down which causes the body to use less energy for simple tasks like breathing and eating, after depriving male students of sleep.

　　在减少了男性学生的睡眠时间后，科学家们发现，睡眠不足将大大放慢人体新陈代谢的速度，直接导致类似呼吸与进食这样简单的活动所消耗的热量随之降低。

　　The results, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, add to evidence that sleep loss can promote weight gain - not just by boosting hunger but also by slowing the rate at which calories are burned.

　　这篇发表在美国灵床营养学期刊上的报告再次证实睡眠不足将引发人体发胖，这不仅是因为睡眠不足将增加饥饿感，同时还因为消耗的热量也减少了。

　　The study suggests that getting plenty of sleep might prevent weight gain, said Christian Benedict of Uppsala University in Sweden, who led the study.

　　来自瑞典乌鲁萨拉大学的学者Christian Benedict主导了这次的研究，他表示充足的睡眠将有助于避免发胖。

　　'Our findings show that one night of sleep deprivation acutely reduces energy expenditure in healthy men, which suggests sleep contributes to the acute regulation of daytime energy expenditure in humans,' he wrote.

　　“我们的研究结果显示，整夜不眠将降低健康男性身体所消耗的热量，这说明睡眠会影响到人体在白天消耗热量的情况。”
