为了追求更好的睡眠，人们更喜欢使用科技产品

Six in 10 Americans are turning to tech to aid their sleep, according to new research.

一项最新调查显示，60%的美国人正求助于科技产品来帮助睡眠。

From using smartphones to set their bedtime and apps to limit evening screen time, to using a watch to note their biometrics, 57 percent say tech has been beneficial in improving their sleep.

从使用智能手机设定就寝时间，到使用应用程序限制晚上看屏幕的时间，再到使用手表记录自己的生物特征，57%的人表示，科技产品对改善他们的睡眠有好处。

Sleep isn’t as simple as just laying down and closing our eyes, now — in this age of screens and digital detoxing, the survey of 2,000 Americans found 66 percent would actually like to incorporate more technology into their nighttime routine.

睡眠不仅仅是躺下和闭上眼睛那么简单，现在——在这个屏幕和数码排毒的时代，这项对2000名美国人的调查发现，66%的人实际上希望在他们的夜间生活中融入更多的科技产品。

Commissioned by Eight Sleep and conducted by OnePoll in advance of World Sleep Day on March 13, the survey looked at Americans’ poor sleep habits and the modern-day solutions they’re turning to.

在3月13日世界睡眠日之前，由“八项睡眠”(Eight Sleep)委托OnePoll公司开展的这项调查，着眼于美国人的不良睡眠习惯以及他们正在寻求的现代解决方案。

It’s no wonder people are looking for something to improve their sleep, as results found the average respondent received just five hours and seven minutes of sleep per night — much less than the recommended eight hours of shut-eye.SWNS

难怪人们在寻找改善睡眠的方法，因为调查结果显示，受访者每晚平均只睡5小时7分钟，远远低于建议的8小时睡眠时间。

Not only that, but almost half (48 percent) admitted to having an inconsistent sleep schedule, with the average respondent having three nights of disrupted sleep per week.

不仅如此，近一半(48%)的人承认自己的睡眠时间不规律，平均每个星期有三个晚上的睡眠被打乱。

Results showed respondents are sleeping poorly in a multitude of ways; turns out, 61 percent regularly have trouble falling asleep.

调查结果显示，受访者的睡眠质量在很多方面都很差;事实上，61%的人经常难以入睡。

Additionally, 52 percent have trouble staying asleep, with temperature being one of the catalysts for waking up in the middle of the night.

此外，52% 的人有睡眠困难，因为温度是半夜醒来的催化剂之一。

Forty-nine percent of respondents regularly wake up because they’re too hot, while 52 percent report waking up during the night because they’re too cold.

49%的受访者经常醒来是因为太热，而52%的人说他们晚上醒来是因为太冷了。

“The human body has an internal thermostat, so when you are ready to sleep your brain begins to lower your body temperature and that mild drop in body temperature induces sleep,” said H. Craig Heller, PhD, professor of biology at Stanford University. “The most impressive new technologies will utilize contactless, nonwearable biometrics tracking and react to thermal environment using in-home data to improve sleep.”

“人体有一个内部恒温器，所以当你准备睡觉的时候，你的大脑会开始降低你的体温，而体温的轻微下降会诱发睡眠，”斯坦福大学生物学教授h·克雷格·海勒博士说。“最令人印象深刻的新技术将利用非接触式、非穿戴式生物识别技术跟踪，并利用室内数据对热环境做出反应，从而改善睡眠。”

But some respondents are confident technology can help them with these all-too-common sleep issues. Thirty-nine percent of respondents believe technology could make it easier for them to stay asleep, while the same number think it could help them to have a more restful sleep.

但一些受访者相信科技可以帮助他们解决这些太常见的睡眠问题。39%的受访者认为科技能让他们更容易地保持睡眠状态，而同样比例的人认为科技能让他们睡得更安稳。

Interestingly enough, 37 percent believe tech could also encourage them to go to bed at a more consistent time.

有趣的是，37%的人认为科技也可以鼓励他们在更固定的时间睡觉。

Seventy-seven percent believe changing the temperature of their bed would help them sleep better — which might help explain why 90 percent are interested in technology that manages their sleep temperature.

77%的人认为改变床的温度可以帮助他们睡得更好，这也许可以解释为什么90%的人对控制他们睡眠温度的技术感兴趣。

“The results reinforce what we’re already seeing — people want more technology, data and thermoregulation when it comes to sleep,” said Matteo Franceschetti, Co-Founder and CEO of Eight Sleep. “Our goal is to continuously innovate on technology that executes real-time adjustments on individual sleep based on their thermal environment and biometric data to help them sleep better.”

Eight sleep公司的联合创始人兼首席执行官马泰奥·弗朗切蒂说:“研究结果印证了我们已经看到的事实——人们在睡眠方面需要更多的技术、数据和体温调节。”“我们的目标是不断创新技术，根据个人的热环境和生物统计数据对他们的睡眠进行实时调整，帮助他们睡得更好。”

Not only do respondents think technology can help to improve their sleep, but they also want more data about their nighttime habits.

受访者不仅认为科技有助于改善他们的睡眠，而且还希望获得更多有关他们夜间习惯的数据。

Eighty-seven percent believe receiving data about how they sleep would help them to sleep better — and 89 percent would like sleep technology to help interpret that data for them, offering recommendations to improve their sleep.

87%的人认为收到关于他们睡眠方式的数据会帮助他们睡得更好，89%的人希望睡眠技术能帮助他们解释这些数据，为他们提供改善睡眠的建议。

And the data they think would be the most helpful? Respondents would most like to know their heart rate throughout the night (43 percent), the percentage of deep sleep (43 percent) they receive and their respiration rate throughout the night (42 percent).

他们认为最有帮助的数据是什么?受访者最想知道的是他们整个晚上的心率(43%)、深度睡眠的百分比(43%)和整个晚上的呼吸率(42%)。

They’d also like to have data tracking their sleep stages and their percentage of REM sleep (41 percent, each).

他们还希望有数据跟踪他们的睡眠阶段和快速眼动睡眠的比例(各占41%)。

Some respondents have tried different ways of tracking their sleep habits; results found 59 percent currently use — or have previously used — sleep technology to track their biometrics.

一些受访者尝试了不同的方法来追踪他们的睡眠习惯;结果发现，59%的人目前或以前曾使用睡眠技术来跟踪他们的生物特征。

And the sleep-tech industry may likely continue to grow — 63 percent of respondents believe technology can solve the problem of Americans’ poor sleep habits.

睡眠科技产业可能会继续增长——63%的受访者认为科技可以解决美国人糟糕的睡眠习惯问题。
