【英語閱讀】中國青少年睡眠不足

China's teenagers aren't getting enough sleep, according to the results of a survey released this year by the Chinese Sleep Research Society.

中國睡眠研究會今年公布的調查顯示，中國青少年的睡眠時間不充足。

Around 81 percent of 13-17 year-olds are getting less than the 8-10 hours a night recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Academic pressure and the late-night use of electronic devices were named as the two biggest culprits contributing to the problem.

13-17歲年齡組中大約81％的人數比美國疾病控制中心推薦的每晚8-10小時少。學術壓力和深夜使用電子設備被認為是造成這一問題的兩個最大罪魁禍首。

The findings are in line with results released on Thursday of a survey of 1,134 college students by China Youth News Network. It found that more than 1-in-3 students were falling asleep after midnight, and getting less than seven hours sleep a night.

調查結果與周四中國青年新聞網對1,134名大學生的調查結果一致。結果發現，超過三分之一的學生在午夜后入睡，每晚睡眠時間少于七小時。 

Many people in China don't get enough sleep, and the problem is especially severe in China's first-tier cities. According to a report released in March last year by the Chinese Sleep Research Society, young adults in Beijing are getting the least amount of sleep – less than the seven hours recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control for people aged1 18 to 60. And people in finance have the worst sleep time due to the work pressure.

中國很多人睡眠不足，中國一線城市的問題尤其嚴重。根據中國睡眠研究學會去年3月發布的一份報告，北京的年輕人睡眠最少 - 少于美國疾病控制中心推薦的18至60歲人群的7小時。由于工作壓力，金融業的睡眠時間最短。 

These results follow on from earlier research conducted by the sleep research group. In 2016 they warned thatmore than 300 million people in China had difficulty falling asleep.

這些結果來自睡眠研究小組進行的早期研究。 2016年，他們警告說，中國有超過3億人難以入睡。 

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has said that a lack of sleep can contribute to the development of many chronic health conditions, including Type- diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression.

美國疾病控制中心表示，睡眠不足可能導致許多慢性健康狀況的發展，包括糖尿病，心臟病，肥胖和抑郁癥。
