不同年龄阶段的女性 睡眠时间多长才合适?

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.
在日常饮食和锻炼运动已经成为我们健康生活方式支柱的背景下，我们也应该对我们的睡眠给与关注，从而改善我们的情绪，增强我们执行任务的能力。

But it's often been debated how long a woman needs to rest each night and what's a healthy amount at each age.
但是在关于女人每晚应该睡多少小时，不同年龄段应该睡多久这些问题上，人们一直争论不休。

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.
西利睡眠分析师艾米·雷诺兹博士日前向《每日邮报》澳大利亚分社讲述了优质睡眠的重要性，以及每个年龄段女性的睡眠时间。

1.Teenagers
1.少女时期

'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.
雷诺兹博士表示：“高中阶段的女孩们平均需要8到10个小时的睡眠，但是最少7个小时、最多11个小时也是可以的。”

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.
由于长期使用手机和网络，我们的身体可能会丧失获得良好睡眠的能力，因此入睡一小时以前关闭所有电子设备很重要。

 2.Full-time Workers
2.职场女性

According to a Sealy sleep survey 70 per cent of Australians feel their everyday performance is affected by lack of sleep.
据西利的一份睡眠调查显示，70%的澳大利亚人觉得睡眠不足影响了自己的日常表现。

'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.
雷诺兹博士表示：“大学生或者职场人士，一般18到25岁之间的人群，每晚应该保证7到9小时的睡眠。”

3.Mothers
3.母亲时代

There should be a bedtime routine for mums just like there is a system in place for young children.
身为妈妈的女性应该和小孩子一样有一个固定的就寝时间。

'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.
雷诺兹博士表示：“26到60岁之间的女性每晚应该保证大约7到9小时的睡眠。可以通过一起刷牙和读睡前故事等方式来保证全家人都在合理的时间上床睡觉。” 

4.Older Women
4.老年女性

'Women over 60 can get 7-8 hours of rest a night and remain perfectly healthy,' Dr Reynolds said.
雷诺兹指出：“60岁以上女性每晚7到8小时的睡眠就可以保证非常健康了。”

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.
而如果你觉得自己的睡眠“很糟糕”，那你就该咨询一下自己的医生了。找找资料，看看怎么可以恢复自己的睡眠模式。

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.
至于“补觉”的问题，雷诺兹博士认为每晚只睡推荐时长就可以了，她表示：“补觉其实没什么用。”
