10 ways sleep can change your life

Updated August 4, 2020

5.Helps maintain a healthy weight

帮助维持健康的体重

Getting your beauty sleep can help you to maintain a healthy weight or increase your chances of losing excess fat. Two hormones control our urge to eat: leptin and ghrelin. Leptin tells us that we're full, while ghrelin communicates hunger.

睡个美容觉可以帮助你保持健康的体重，或者增加减掉多余脂肪的机会。两种荷尔蒙控制着我们的食欲：瘦素和胃饥饿素。瘦素告诉我们饱了，而胃饥饿素则传达饥饿感。

When we don't sleep enough, both hormones veer in the wrong direction, Kryger said — ghrelin spikes while leptin declines, resulting in an increase in hunger and the potential to overeat and gain weight. Sleep helps our bodies to maintain normal levels of the stress hormone cortisol as well, which determines how we hang on to excess fat.

克鲁格（Kryger）说，当我们睡眠不足时，这两种荷尔蒙都会转向错误的方向，胃饥饿素会飙升，而瘦素则下降，从而导致饥饿感增加，并有可能暴饮暴食和增加体重。睡眠也有助于我们的身体保持正常的应激激素皮质醇水平，皮质醇决定了我们如何保持多余的脂肪。

6.Bolsters your immune system

增强你的免疫系统

Kryger has seen the immune systems of patients with sleep disorders fail to normally function. Sleep helps our bodies to produce and release cytokines, a type of protein that helps create an immune response by targeting infection and inflammation.

克鲁格（Kryger）发现睡眠障碍患者的免疫系统不能正常工作。睡眠有助于我们的身体产生和释放细胞因子，这是一种通过针对感染和炎症产生免疫反应的蛋白质。

Additionally, "research done actually years ago showed that when people are sleep deprived, they do not have as vigorous a response to vaccination," Kryger added. "As we're thinking about vaccination that's being developed" for Covid-19, that kind of research is going to be important.

此外，克鲁格（Kryger）补充道“实际上几年前的研究表明，当人们睡眠不足时，他们对疫苗的反应就没有那么强烈了。”“当我们在考虑开发新冠疫苗时，这种研究将是很重要的。”
