UNIT 3 课时跟踪检测(四) 重点题型强化练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A An afternoon nap (午睡) is one of the joys of life, although too much napping could signal all is not well. In some cultures, people will have a daily nap — this is fine. The warning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, when they did not sleep before. There is certainly a good reason to believe that daytime sleepiness — as in the Alzheimer's disease study — can be a marker of an underlying condition. For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign that you are not getting enough sleep at night, says Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert. “If you feel sleepy during the day, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs — it doesn't need to be kept awake with caffeine.

Once you factor in the time it takes to fall asleep — “Some people are better at napping than others but，” says Stanley, “a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes.” — you can set an alarm, allowing a 30- to 40-minute period for a short nap, and up to two hours for a longer one. A good time to nap is during the body's natural dip in the afternoon, between 2：00 p．m. and 4：00 p．m. “You don't really want to be napping much past that because then you are going to be eating into your night-time sleep，” Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is to get good night-time sleep, which would ensure you probably don't need to
