Yes, Your Sleep Schedule is Making You Sick(7)完
對抗抑鬱症,也許你只需調整睡眠時間(7)完
That seems shortsighted to me. Research into altering the circadian clock to produce powerful antidepressant benefits could lead to the development of drugs that might mimic ( vt.模仿) the effect of sleep deprivation, but without its obvious drawbacks.
但我覺得那是很沒遠見的想法。對改變生物鐘以產生強大抗抑鬱效果的研究可能促成開發出能模仿睡眠剝奪效果的藥物,而且沒有睡眠剝奪的明顯缺點。
本段包含詞彙
shortsighted /『ʃɔːt'saɪtɪd/ adj.近視的;缺乏遠見的
*drawback /『drɔːbæk/ n.缺點;不利條件
Beyond that, doctors don’t learn much about chronobiology in medical school or residency. There are only a handful of doctors and medical centers that administer these treatments. But there is nothing to stop clinicians from incorporating chronotherapy into their practices right now. I already use light and melatonin to help my patients with jet lag and to readjust their circadian rhythm, but it won’t be long before I try triple chronotherapy for my depressed patients who don’t get better with antidepressants.
另一個原因是,醫生在醫學院或住院實習期間對生物鐘沒有很多了解。只有少量醫生和醫療中心進行這種治療。但沒什麼能阻止臨床醫生將時間療法納入治療之中。我已經使用陽光和褪黑素來幫助病人應對時差,調整生物鐘,但不久之後,我會嘗試用三倍時間療法治療我的那些無法用抗抑鬱藥物獲得改善的患者。
本段包含詞彙
residency /『rezɪdənsi/ n.居住;住所;管轄區;(美)高級專科住院實習(期).
(拓展:resident n.居民 adj.定居的,常駐的)
*a handful of 少量的
(拓展:* a host of 大量;許多)
administer /əd’mɪnɪstə(r)/ vt.管理;執行
right now adv.立刻;馬上
Whether chronotherapy will prove as widely effective as conventional antidepressants for serious depression is still unknown. But there is no question that we can relieve everyday problems like jet lag and insomnia (n.失眠;失眠症) simply by better aligning our circadian rhythms with the world around us. What could be more natural than that?
時間療法是否會被證明和常規抗抑鬱藥一樣對重度抑鬱症有廣泛療效仍未可知。但毫無疑問,我們可以簡單地通過讓我們的生理節律與周圍的世界更加協調來緩解時差和失眠等日常問題。還有什麼比這更自然呢?
本段包含詞彙
*conventional /kən』venʃənl/ adj.傳統的;慣例的;常規的
*relieve /rɪ』liːv/ v.減輕;解除
