**As part of our lecture series on everyday health issues, today's talk is on tiredness.**  
作為我們日常健康問題講座系列的一部分，今天的主題是疲勞。

**We shall look at the main issues in turn as well as some of the main research that has been carried out in this field.**  
我們將逐一探討主要問題，以及該領域的一些主要研究。

**>> First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.**  
首先，你有一些時間來看第21到26題。

**Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.**  
現在，仔細聽，並回答第21到26題。

**>> Good morning. As part of our lecture series on everyday health issues, today's talk is on tiredness.**  
早上好。作為我們日常健康問題講座系列的一部分，今天的主題是疲勞。

**We shall look at the main issues in turn as well as some of the main research that has been carried out in this field.**  
我們將逐一探討主要問題，以及在這個領域中進行的一些主要研究。

**Firstly,**  
首先，

**it is clear that tiredness is on the rise.**  
很明顯，疲勞的情況正在增加。

**No official data exists on the rate of people reporting to doctors with recurring tiredness, but it's a very common complaint.**  
沒有官方數據顯示反覆疲勞的人數比例，但這是一個非常常見的抱怨。

**Research suggests that people are not relaxing properly and often work when they do not have enough energy.**  
研究表明，人們沒有適當放鬆，並且常在精力不足時工作。

**Furthermore, products to boost energy are also on the rise.**  
此外，提升能量的產品也在增加。

**Sales of so-called energy drinks loaded with caffeine and sugar have grown by 23% over the last year.**  
含有咖啡因和糖的所謂能量飲料的銷售額在去年增長了23%。

**And this is not the only instance of an increase in products claiming to boost energy.**  
而且，這並不是唯一聲稱能提升能量產品的增加案例。

**Garana, a herbal stimulant, can now be found in everything from chocolate bars to tea bags.**  
一種名為加拉那的草本興奮劑，現在可以在巧克力、茶包等各種產品中找到。

**Now, let's examine what it is that's making people so tired.**  
現在，讓我們來看看是什麼讓人如此疲憊。

**Dr. Leehold, a Sydney GP, has done extensive research into this, and he believes that financial pressures, not taking holidays, and not having time off when you become ill due to fear of losing your job are all common causes.**  
悉尼的全科醫生李霍德（Dr. Leehold）對此進行了深入研究，他認為財務壓力、不休假，以及因怕失業而不請假是常見原因。

**Some of the other suggested causes are low oxygen levels in offices, poor diet, or illness.**  
其他一些建議的原因包括辦公室氧氣不足、飲食不良或疾病。

**The problem is that tiredness is a symptom of just about every kind of illness, which makes tracking down the cause, all the more difficult.**  
問題在於疲勞是幾乎所有疾病的症狀之一，這使得追蹤原因更加困難。

**The next question to ask is, are people getting enough sleep?**  
下一個問題是，人們是否獲得足夠的睡眠？

**Dr. Mansfield from Melbourne's Epworth Sleep Center, who specializes in sleep disorders, says insomnia often arises when people are going through a stressful period.**  
墨爾本埃普沃斯睡眠中心（Epworth Sleep Center）的曼斯菲爾德博士，專門研究睡眠障礙，他說失眠常在壓力大時出現。

**Mansfield often needs to re-educate people in how to get off to sleep.**  
曼斯菲爾德經常需要重新教育人們如何入睡。

**He recommends keeping your body clock regular by going to bed and rising at similar times every day and not drinking too much caffeine.**  
他建議通過每天在相似時間睡覺和起床，保持身體時鐘的規律，以及不要喝太多咖啡因來保持健康。

**And there is some truth in the old story about having a glass of hot milk before bed.**  
而且，睡前喝一杯熱牛奶的老故事還是有點道理的。

**Milk contains the amino acid tryptophan which has been shown to help induce sleepiness.**  
牛奶含有色氨酸這種氨基酸，已被證明有助於產生困意。

**Turning to the question of why we need sleep, researchers are still trying to answer this fundamental question.**  
談到我們為什麼需要睡眠，研究人員仍在努力回答這個根本問題。

**Sleep deprivation experiments have shown that after 14 days without sleep, rats will lie down and die.**  
睡眠剝奪的實驗顯示，經過14天不睡覺後，老鼠會倒下並死亡。

**And after only 3 days sleep loss, humans get confused, forgetful, and start having hallucinations.**  
僅僅3天睡眠不足，人類就會變得混亂、健忘，甚至出現幻覺。

**So whatever sleep does, it is important.**  
所以，不管睡眠的作用是什麼，它都很重要。
