莎士比亚在《麦克白》中将睡眠描述为“疼痛的劳动浴/受伤心灵的药膏，大自然的第二道菜，/生命盛宴的首席厨师。在《护理笔记》中，佛罗伦萨南丁格尔写道，睡眠对病人来说“非常重要”。从那时起，研究越来越支持这一观点。恢复性睡眠的认知和情感益处包括提高警觉性，1更好的学习新任务的能力2和保留新技能，3改善单词回忆，4和减少抑郁。5缺乏充足的睡眠，无论是因为睡眠质量差，还是因为一个人得到的睡眠太少，都与免疫功能受损，6关系障碍，抑郁症，5高血压，7警觉性下降，8老年人福尔斯摔倒的次数增加，9以及驾驶时发生事故的风险增加有关。10.睡眠与饮食和锻炼一样对健康至关重要。
Shakespeare, in Macbeth, described sleep as “sore labour’s bath/Balm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course,/Chief nourisher in life’s feast.” And in Notes on Nursing, Florence Nightingale wrote that sleep was “all important” to the sick. Since then, research has increasingly supported this view. The cognitive and emotional benefits of restorative sleep include improved alertness, 1 greater ability to learn new tasks2 and retain new skills, 3 improved word recall, 4 and less depression. 5 A lack of adequate sleep, whether because the sleep is of poor quality or because a person gets too little of it, has been associated with compromised immune function, 6 relationship disturbances, depression, 5 hypertension, 7 diminished alertness, 8 higher numbers of falls in older adults, 9 and a greater risk of accidents while driving. 10 Sleep is as central to health as diet and exercise are.
