Passage One
短文一
Mothers have been warned for years that sleeping with their newborn infant is a bad idea because it increases the risk that the baby might die unexpectedly during the night.
多年来妈妈们一直被警告，与新生儿睡在一起不好，因为这会增加婴儿夜间意外死亡的风险。
But now Israeli researchers are reporting that even sleeping in the same room can have negative consequences: not for the child, but for the mother.
以色列的研究人员发现妈妈和婴儿在同一个房间睡觉会产生负面影响：不是对婴儿而是对妈妈。
Mothers who slept in the same room as their infants, whether in the same bed or just the same room, had poorer sleep than mothers whose babies slept elsewhere in the house:
无论妈妈和婴儿是同床睡还是只是在同一个房间睡觉，妈妈的睡眠质量都不如和婴儿分房睡觉妈妈们的睡眠质量好。
They woke up more frequently, were awake approximately 20 minutes longer per night, and had shorter periods of uninterrupted sleep.
她们醒来的频率会更高，每晚醒着的时间要多出大约20分钟，其中每段的睡眠时间也会较短。
These results held true even taking into account that many of the women in the study were breast-feeding their babies.
很多被调查的妈妈是母乳喂养，她们的睡眠结果也与上述调查结果一致。
Infants, on the other hand, didn't appear to have worse sleep whether they slept in the same or different room from their mothers.
另一方面，婴儿无论是否和妈妈在同一个房间睡觉，她们的睡眠质量都不受影响。
The researchers acknowledge that since the families they studied were all middle-class Israelis,
研究人员承认由于他们的研究对象都是以色列的中产阶级家庭。
it's possible that the results will be different in different cultures.
研究结果有可能不适用于其他文化背景的家庭。
Lead author Liat Tikotzky wrote in an email that the research team also didn't measure fathers' sleep,
第一作者Liat Tikotzky在一封电子邮件中写到研究团队还没有研究爸爸的睡眠，
so it's possible that their sleep patterns could also be causing the sleep disruptions for moms.
所以爸爸的睡眠模式也可能导致妈妈睡眠中断。
Right now, to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that mothers not sleep in the same bed as their babies, but sleep in the same room.
现在，为了降低婴儿猝死的风险，美国儿科学会建议妈妈们不要跟婴儿同床睡，但可以睡在一个房间。
The Israeli study suggests that doing so may be best for baby, but may take a toll on Mom.
以色列的研究显示这样做可能对婴儿最好，但是妈妈们可能要付出巨大的代价。
