睡眠不足

You're Clumsier Than Usual

反应迟钝

First you knock the alarm clock off the dresser,then you spill the milk as you're pouring your cereal, then you stub your toe on the way out the door -- you've become a klutz overnight.

先是把梳妆台上的闹钟打落在地，然后把牛奶往麦片中倒的时候弄撒了，然后迈出家门时踢到了脚趾——一夜之间你就变成笨蛋了。

Researchers don't know exactly why, but sleepy people seem to "have slower and less precise motor skills," Clete Kushida, M.D., Ph.D., director of Stanford University Center for Human Sleep Research told Prevention. Reflexes are dulled, balance and depth perception canbe a little wonky and since you may also have trouble focusing, reaction time can be slowed, meaning you can't quite catch the egg carton before it hits thefloor.

斯坦福大学人类睡眠研究中心主任柯莱特·库斯达医学博士对《预防》杂志说，虽然研究人员不知道确切原因，但昏昏欲睡的人仿佛“反应慢，运动技能差”。反应迟钝可能引起平衡感和深度知觉较差，而且可能你也很难集中精力，这就导致反应时间长，也就是说在装鸡蛋的盒子砸到地板上之前你无法迅速接住它。
