In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at theUniversityof PennsylvaniaSchool of Medicine,“Theres even a prohibition againstadmittingwe need sleep. ” Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at the switch.

For starters, here are a few of my favoritenaps.At work: Nap freedom, to me, is as great an incentive as money or power. Sleepingat work is superbly satisfying,

28、 and in some cases necessary. Truck drivers should pull overat the first sign of drowsiness as should anyone operating machinery, including a wordprocessor.In class: These naps can be pleasant because of the risk involved.

There

31、s the storytold about a young playwright who once asked a famous author to view a rehearsal of his new play. The author slept through the whole thing. Afterward the young man complained, sayinghe really had wanted the authors opinion. In a pithy summation of the committed nappersview of life, the au

36、ncluding age. Infants generally require about 16 hours a day, while teenagers need about 9 hours on average. For most adults, 7 to 8 hours a night appears to be the best amount of sleep, although some people may needas few as 5 hours or as many as 10 hours of sleep each day. Women in the first 3 mon

37、ths of pregnancy often need several more hours of sleep than usual. The amount of sleep a personneeds also increases if he or she had been deprived of sleep in previous days. Getting toolittlesleep creates a “sleepdebt ”, whichismuch likebeing overdrawn at a bank. Eventually,your body will demand th

If you routinely fall asleep within5 minutes of lying down, you probably h

41、ave severe sleep deprivation, possibly even a sleepdisorder. Microsleeps, or very brief episodes of sleep in an otherwise awake person, areanother mark of sleep deprivation. In many cases, people are not aware that they areexperiencing microsleeps. The widespread practice of“burning the candle at bo
