When We Are Asleep

Everyone dreams, but some people never recall their dreams, or do so very rarely. Other people always wake up with vivid recollections (记忆) of their dreams, though they forget them very quickly. In an average night of eight hours' sleep, an average adult will dream for around one hundred minutes, probably having three to five dreams, each lasting from ten to thirty minutes.

Scientists can detect when someone is having a dream by using an instrument which measures the electrical waves in the brain. During dreaming, these waves move more quickly. Breathing and pulse rate also increase, and there are rapid eye movements under the lids, just as though the dreamer were really looking at moving objects. These signs of dreaming have been detected in all mammals (哺乳动物) studied, including dogs, monkeys, cats, and elephants, and also some birds and reptiles (爬行动物). This period of sleep is called the “D” state for around 50% of their sleep; the period reduces to around 25% by the age of 10.

Dreams take the form. of stories, but they may be strange and with incidents not connected, which make little sense. Dreams are seldom without people in them and they are usually about people we know. One estimate says that two-thirds of the “cast” of our dream dramas are friends and relations. Vision seems an essential part of dreams, except for people blind from birth. Sound and touch are senses also often aroused, but smell and taste are not frequently involved. In “normal” dreams, the dreamer may be taking part, or be only an observer. But he or she cannot control what happens in the dream.

However, the dreamer does have control over one type of dream. This type of dream is called a “lucid”(清醒的) dream. Not everyone is a lucid dreamer. Some people are occasional lucid dreamers. Others can dream lucidly more or less all the time. In a lucid dream, the dreamer knows that he is dreaming.

Some people dream but cannot remember their dreams.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

Hunt, director of the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research in Bethesda, Maryland, most people do not allow themselves【C8】_____ deceleration. Lack of sleep【C9】______ matters even more. Experts say adults need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night to【C10】______ properly. When you get less sleep than【C11】______ on consecutive nights, you begin to accrue "sleep debt".【C12】______ sleep debt increases and functionality decreases, your body experiences a stress response and begins to release adrenaline.

Power sleeping for more hours on weekends is only a【C15】______ solution. "There is no【C16】______ for getting a good nights sleep on a【C17】______ basis," says Hunt. Most of us,【C18】______, dont get the sleep we need.

Sleep ,as we know, is important to us because it helps restore tired organs and tissues in
our body. But how much sleep do we actually need?

For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount.【C1】______we know that there are many people who get【C2】______perfectly with less sleep, and some who may even need【C3】______. A great deal depend on the【C4】______we live. But a good general rule to【C5】______is to sleep as long as we have to in order to feel happy and be able to work【C6】______our best when we awaken.

There are actually different【C7】______of sleep. There is a deep sleep and a shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep our body does not get the same kind of rest it gets in a deep sleep, so that after eight hours of a【C8】______sleep we may still feel tired. But a short, deep sleep can be very【C9】______.

Alexander the Great was able to get a deep sleep【C10】______he needed it. Once, during the night before an important battle, he remained【C11】______much longer than anyone else.【C12】______he wrapped himself in a cloak and【C13】______down on the-earth. He slept so【C14】______that his generals had to wake him three times to give the【C15】______to attack!

Normally when we go to sleep, our!' sleep center" blocks off nerves so that【C16】______our brain and body go to sleep.【C17】______prevents us from wanting to do anything. And the other【C18】______our internal organs and limbs go to sleep.【C19】______sometimes only one goes to sleep and the other does not. A very tired soldier can sometimes【C20】______asleep(brain sleep)and keep on marching, because his body is not asleep.
