As a sleep scientist,
1

身為睡眠科學家，
00:19
this is the question
that has captivated me
that has captivated me
2
7160
2896
在過去的十年間，
我對這個問題很著迷。
00:22
for the past 10 years.
3
10080
1560
00:24
Because while the lightbulb
and technology have brought about a world
and technology have brought about a world
4
12360
4576
雖然電燈泡和科技已經造成了
二十四小時工作和生產力的世界，
00:28
of 24-hour work and productivity,
5
16960
3456
00:32
it has come at the cost
6
20440
1656
但這是有代價的，
00:34
of our naturally occurring
circadian rhythm
circadian rhythm
7
22120
3296
代價就是我們自然的晝夜節律、
00:37
and our body's need for sleep.
8
25440
2200
以及我們的身體對睡眠的需求。
00:40
The circadian rhythm dictates
our energy level throughout the day,
our energy level throughout the day,
9
28520
3936
晝夜節律支配了我們
一整天中的能量多寡，
一整天中的能量多寡，
00:44
and only recently we've been conducting
a global experiment on this rhythm,
a global experiment on this rhythm,
10
32479
4857
到最近，我們才針對此節律
進行了一項全球性實驗，
進行了一項全球性實驗，
00:49
which is putting our sleep health
11
37360
2056
讓我們的睡眠健康，
00:51
and ultimately
our life quality in jeopardy.
our life quality in jeopardy.
12
39440
3400
以及最終，我們的生命品質，
置身危險之中。
置身危險之中。
00:56
Because of this,
13
44240
1256
因為這個理由，
00:57
we aren't getting the sleep we need,
14
45520
2136
我們沒有得到我們需要的睡眠，
00:59
with the average American
sleeping a whole hour less
sleeping a whole hour less
15
47680
3736
美國人的平均睡眠時間
比 1940 年代整整少了一小時。
01:03
than they did in the 1940s.
16
51440
2496
01:05
For some reason,
17
53960
1256
因為某種原因，
01:07
we decided to wear it as a badge of honor
18
55240
2256
我們決定把它當榮譽獎章來戴，
01:09
that we can get by on not enough sleep.
19
57520
2240
以睡眠不足卻仍能過活為榮。
01:12
This all adds up to a real health crisis.
20
60400
3720
這些通通加起來，
就成了真實的健康危機。
就成了真實的健康危機。
01:16
Most of us know that poor sleep
is linked to diseases
is linked to diseases
21
64879
3657
大部份人知道睡眠不足和疾病相關，
01:20
like Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease,
22
68560
2736
比如阿滋海默症、心血管疾病、
01:23
stroke and diabetes.
23
71320
2040
中風、糖尿病。
01:25
And if you go untreated
with a sleep disorder like sleep apnea,
with a sleep disorder like sleep apnea,
24
73880
3816
如果你有睡眠失調，
像睡眠窒息，卻沒去治療，
像睡眠窒息，卻沒去治療，
01:29
you're more likely
to get many of these illnesses.
to get many of these illnesses.
25
77720
2760
你就更可能會得到許多這類疾病。
01:33
But did you know about sleep's impact
on your mental states?
on your mental states?
26
81080
4400
但你知道睡眠對你的
心理狀態有什麼衝擊嗎？
心理狀態有什麼衝擊嗎？
01:38
Poor sleep makes us
make risky, rash decisions
make risky, rash decisions
27
86360
4376
睡眠不足會讓我們做出
冒險、魯莽的決策，
冒險、魯莽的決策，
01:42
and is a drain
on our capacity for empathy.
on our capacity for empathy.
28
90760
2960
且它會消耗掉我們同理的能力。
01:46
When sleep deprivation literally makes us
more sensitive to our own pain,
more sensitive to our own pain,
29
94720
5416
因為缺乏睡眠
真的讓我們對痛苦更敏感，
真的讓我們對痛苦更敏感，
01:52
it's not so surprising that we have
a hard time relating to others
a hard time relating to others
30
100160
4016
那就不足為怪，當我們睡眠不足時，
會很難和別人和睦相處，
01:56
and just generally
being a good and healthy person
being a good and healthy person
31
104200
3216
連大體上做個健康的好人都很難。
01:59
when we're sleep-deprived.
32
107440
1480
02:01
Scientists are now starting to understand
33
109640
2656
科學家現在開始了解到
02:04
how not only the quantity
34
112320
2176
睡眠的量與品質
02:06
but also the quality of sleep
impacts our health and well-being.
impacts our health and well-being.
35
114520
4800
都會影響我們的健康和幸福。
02:12
My research focuses
36
120360
1816
我的研究重點
02:14
on what many scientists believe
is the most regenerative stage of sleep:
is the most regenerative stage of sleep:
37
122200
5016
是許多科學家認為
最有再生力的睡眠階段：
最有再生力的睡眠階段：
02:19
deep sleep.
38
127240
1200
深度睡眠。
02:20
We now know that generally speaking,
39
128919
2337
我們現在知道，一般來說，
02:23
there are three stages of sleep:
40
131280
2616
睡眠有三個階段：
02:25
light sleep,
41
133920
1336
淺睡期、
02:27
rapid eye movement or REM
42
135280
2016
快速動眼期、
02:29
and deep sleep.
43
137320
1200
及深度睡眠期。
02:31
We measure these stages by connecting
electrodes to the scalp, chin and chest.
electrodes to the scalp, chin and chest.
44
139080
5680
我們測量這些階段的方式，
是把電擊貼在頭皮、下巴、胸口。
是把電擊貼在頭皮、下巴、胸口。
02:37
In light sleep and REM,
45
145600
1456
在淺睡期與快速動眼期、
02:39
our brain waves are very similar
to our brain waves in waking life.
to our brain waves in waking life.
46
147080
4240
我們的腦波和我們醒著時非常相似。
02:43
But our brain waves in deep sleep
have these long-burst brain waves
have these long-burst brain waves
47
151720
4096
但深睡時的腦波，
有很多長長的脈衝，
有很多長長的脈衝，
02:47
that are very different
from our waking life brain waves.
from our waking life brain waves.
48
155840
3136
和醒著時的腦波很不一樣。
02:51
These long-burst brain waves
are called delta waves.
are called delta waves.
49
159000
4400
這些長的脈衝
被稱為 δ（delta）波。
被稱為 δ（delta）波。
02:56
When we don't get the deep sleep we need,
50
164600
2456
當我們沒有得到我們需要的深睡時，
02:59
it inhibits our ability to learn
51
167080
2176
就會阻礙我們的學習能力、
03:01
and for our cells and bodies to recover.
52
169280
2800
我們的細胞和身體的恢復能力。
03:04
Deep sleep is how we convert
all those interactions
all those interactions
53
172920
3176
深睡讓我們把白天的互動
03:08
that we make during the day
54
176120
1696
03:09
into our long-term memory
and personalities.
and personalities.
55
177840
2720
轉換為長期記憶和個性。
03:13
As we get older,
56
181200
1256
當我們漸年長，
03:14
we're more likely to lose
these regenerative delta waves.
these regenerative delta waves.
57
182480
3496
我們就越有可能會失去
這些有再生力的 δ 波。
這些有再生力的 δ 波。
03:18
So in way, deep sleep and delta waves
58
186000
2816
所以從某個角度來看，
深睡與 δ 波
03:20
are actually a marker
for biological youth.
for biological youth.
59
188840
3640
其實算是生理年輕的標記。
03:25
So naturally, I wanted to get
more deep sleep for myself
more deep sleep for myself
60
193680
3536
當然我要自己多深睡點，
03:29
and I literally tried almost every gadget,
gizmo, device and hack out there --
gizmo, device and hack out there --
61
197240
5696
而我真的幾乎試過每一種
找得到的小玩意兒、小發明、裝置，
消費者等級或臨床實驗等級的。
03:34
consumer-grade, clinical-grade,
62
202960
1936
03:36
what have you.
63
204920
1200
03:38
I learned a lot, and I found
I really do need, like most people,
I really do need, like most people,
64
206720
3816
我學了很多，
並且發現我和大部份人一樣，
03:42
eight hours of sleep.
65
210560
1656
真的需要睡足八小時。
03:44
I even shifted my circadian component
66
212240
3056
我甚至改變了我的生理節奏，
03:47
by changing my meals,
exercise and light exposure,
exercise and light exposure,
67
215320
3696
方法是改變我的進餐、運動、
和曝露在光線下的時間，
和曝露在光線下的時間，
03:51
but I still couldn't find a way
to get a deeper night of sleep ...
to get a deeper night of sleep ...
68
219040
4256
但仍然找不到睡得更深沈的方式，
03:55
that is until I met
Dr. Dmitry Gerashchenko
Dr. Dmitry Gerashchenko
69
223320
3056
直到我遇到了狄米崔蓋瑞山柯博士，
03:58
from Harvard Medical School.
70
226400
2296
他是哈佛教授。
04:00
Dmitry told me about
a new finding in the literature,
a new finding in the literature,
71
228720
3176
狄米崔告訴我文獻中的一項新發現，
04:03
where a lab out of Germany showed
that if you could play certain sounds
that if you could play certain sounds
72
231920
4416
一間德國的實驗室發現，
如果能夠在人們睡眠的
正確時間播放某些聲音，
正確時間播放某些聲音，
04:08
at the right time in people's sleep,
73
236360
2536
04:10
you could actually make sleep
deeper and more efficient.
deeper and more efficient.
74
238920
3440
就能讓睡眠更深、更有效。
04:15
And what's more, is that this lab showed
75
243080
2656
還有，這間實驗室也發現，
04:17
that you actually could improve
next-day memory performance
next-day memory performance
76
245760
3496
可用這種聲音
來改善隔天的記憶表現。
來改善隔天的記憶表現。
04:21
with this sound.
77
249280
1200
04:23
Dmitry and I teamed up,
78
251080
1376
我和狄米崔合作，
04:24
and we began working on a way
to build this technology.
to build this technology.
79
252480
3496
我們開始想辦法建立這種技術。
04:28
With our research lab
collaborators at Penn State,
collaborators at Penn State,
80
256000
3079
我們和在賓州州大實驗室的合作者
04:32
we designed experiments
in order to validate our system.
in order to validate our system.
81
260440
3416
一起設計實驗來驗證我們的系統。
04:35
And we've since received grant funding
from the National Science Foundation
from the National Science Foundation
82
263880
3616
我們從國家科學基金會
和國立衛生研究院
和國立衛生研究院
04:39
and the National Institute of Health
83
267520
2016
得到補助金資助，
04:41
to develop this deep-sleep
stimulating technology.
stimulating technology.
84
269560
2920
來開發這種深度睡眠刺激技術。
04:45
Here's how it works.
85
273480
1576
它是這樣運作的。
04:47
People came into the lab
86
275080
1256
人們來到實驗室，
04:48
and we hooked them up
to a number of devices,
to a number of devices,
87
276360
2376
我們把他們和幾個裝置連結，
04:50
two of which I have on right here --
88
278760
1776
我這裡戴著其中兩個裝置，
04:52
not a fashion statement.
89
280560
1256
可不是時尚宣言。
04:53
(Laughter)
90
281840
1520
（笑聲）
04:56
When we detected
that people were in deep sleep,
that people were in deep sleep,
91
284200
2816
當我們偵測到人們在深睡時，
04:59
we played the deep-sleep
stimulating sounds
stimulating sounds
92
287040
2656
就播放能刺激他們睡得更深的聲音。
05:01
that were shown
to make them have deeper sleep.
to make them have deeper sleep.
93
289720
2656
05:04
I'm going to demo this sound
for you right now.
for you right now.
94
292400
2280
我現在就來展示一下這個聲音。
05:08
(Repeating sound waves)
95
296280
3760
（重覆聲波）
05:16
Pretty weird, right?
96
304560
1256
很怪異，是吧？
05:17
(Laughter)
97
305840
1736
（笑聲）
05:19
So that sound is actually at the same
burst frequency as your brain waves
burst frequency as your brain waves
98
307600
5456
這聲音的脈衝頻率
其實和你的深睡腦波相同。
05:25
when your brain is in deep sleep.
99
313080
2336
05:27
That sound pattern
actually primes your mind
actually primes your mind
100
315440
3256
那種聲音模式
事實上能使你的大腦準備好，
05:30
to have more of these
regenerative delta waves.
regenerative delta waves.
101
318720
2640
產生更多這些有再生力的 δ 波。
05:34
When we asked participants
the next day about the sounds,
the next day about the sounds,
102
322160
2856
當我們隔天問受試者這些聲音，
05:37
they were completely unaware
that we played the sounds,
that we played the sounds,
103
325040
2896
他們完全沒意識到我們曾播放聲音，
05:39
yet their brains responded
with more of these delta waves.
with more of these delta waves.
104
327960
3880
而他們的腦卻產生
更多的 δ 波以呼應這種聲音。
更多的 δ 波以呼應這種聲音。
05:44
Here's an image of someone's brain waves
from the study that we conducted.
from the study that we conducted.
105
332280
3896
這張圖是某個人的腦波，
在我們的研究中記錄的。
在我們的研究中記錄的。
05:48
See the bottom panel?
106
336200
1696
看到下面的區塊嗎？
05:49
This shows the sound being played
at that burst frequency.
at that burst frequency.
107
337920
3496
它呈現出這聲音是用
那種脈衝頻率來播放的。
那種脈衝頻率來播放的。
05:53
Now look at the brain waves
in the upper part of the graph.
in the upper part of the graph.
108
341440
3096
看看圖中的上面區塊，那些是腦波。
05:56
You can see from the graph
109
344560
1936
從圖可以看出，
05:58
that the sound is actually producing
more of these regenerative delta waves.
more of these regenerative delta waves.
110
346520
4480
播放這聲音就能產生
更多有再生力的 δ 波。
更多有再生力的 δ 波。
06:04
We learned that we could
accurately track sleep
accurately track sleep
111
352120
2816
我們學到能夠準確地追蹤睡眠，
06:06
without hooking people up to electrodes
112
354960
2696
而不用把電極貼在人身上，
06:09
and make people sleep deeper.
113
357680
3096
並且能讓人睡得更深。
06:12
We're continuing to develop
114
360800
1416
我們還在持續發展
06:14
the right sound environment
and sleep habitat
and sleep habitat
115
362240
3416
對的聲音環境和睡眠地點，
06:17
to improve people's sleep health.
116
365680
2320
來改善人們的睡眠健康。
06:20
Our sleep isn't
as regenerative as it could be,
as regenerative as it could be,
117
368640
3616
我們的睡眠還可以更有再生力，
06:24
but maybe one day soon,
118
372280
1816
但也許，不久之後，
06:26
we could wear a small device
119
374120
2416
我們就可戴著一個小裝置，
06:28
and get more out of our sleep.
120
376560
2080
讓我們從睡眠中獲益良多。
06:31
Thank you.
121
379040
