  全文翻译

  慢性失眠是一个主要的公共健康问题。而且,太多人正使用未经验证的治疗方法,尽管有些方法确实是有效的。上百万的美国人夜里睡不着觉,躺着数羔羊、喝杯烈酒或吞个药片,希望这会使他们产生困意。然而,专家们一致认为,自作主张乱吃药并不是解决失眠的好方法,导致慢性失眠的原因目前还是一个谜。

  几乎有1/3的成年人存在睡眠障碍,而且大约10%的人有白天功能减退的症状,这些症状表明他们确实患上了失眠症。但是,一个由(美)全国卫生研究所召集的专家小组在周三得出这样的结论:尽管(社会上关于长期失眠的)抱怨很多,但科学家们对长期失眠的原因,它对健康的影响以及如何有效地治疗都知之甚少。该专家小组呼吁对失眠症进行广泛研究,指出如果科学家们了解了失眠的潜在原因,他们可能会发现更好的治疗方法。

  很多,但不是所有的失眠症被认为伴随着其他健康问题产生,从关节炎、抑郁到心血管疾病。而问题通常是不知道是先产生失眠,还是失眠是其他疾病的结果,以及失眠如何又使其他问题变得更加复杂。撇开其他疾病不说,失眠的可能性随着年龄的增加而增加,而且在妇女中更加普遍,尤其是50岁以后。吸烟、咖啡因及众多的处方药也影响睡眠。

  (美)全国卫生研究所今年要花大约2000亿美元用于睡眠的相关研究,其中一些以特定的(睡眠)紊乱为目标,另外一些观察控制睡眠神经系统的潜在科学规律。该机构正等待专家小组的评论以决定对失眠进行的下一步研究工作。
