研究发现，每天多睡一小时可以消耗更多的卡路里，开辟减肥新思路？

双语阅读

An hour's extra sleep a night can shave 270 calories off people's daily diets, new research suggests - the equivalent of around three chocolatedigestivebiscuits. Over three years, this could lead to a weight loss of 26lb - simply by sleeping more, the researchers said.

一项新研究表明，每晚多睡一个小时可以减掉人们每日饮食中270的卡路里，大约相当于3块巧克力消化饼干的热量。研究人员表示，只要多睡一会儿，坚持三年就能减重26磅。

A team from the University of Chicago wanted to look at how sleep interacts with obesity and so carried out aclinical trialwith 80 adults. Writing in the journal Jama Internal Medicine, they found that young, overweight adults who habitually slept fewer than 6.5 hours a night were able to add anextra1.2 hours of sleep per night after undergoingcounsellingto improve their sleeping habits.

芝加哥大学的一个研究团队想了解睡眠与肥胖之间的关系，因此对80名成年人开展了临床试验。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~

The results showed that getting more sleep reduced people's overall intake by an average of 270 calories per day, with some people consuming 500 fewer calories. Dr Esra Tasali, from the University of Chicago's sleep centre, said the study had not intended to look at weight loss.

研究结果显示，多睡一会儿可以减少人们摄入的卡路里，平均每天约为270卡路里，有些人可以减少500卡路里的摄入。芝加哥大学睡眠中心的艾斯拉·塔萨里博士说，这项研究的目的不是为了减肥。

"But even within just two weeks, we havequantifiedevidence showing a decrease in caloric intake and a negative energy balance - caloric intake is less than calories burned," she said. "If healthy sleep habits are maintained over longer duration this would lead to clinically important weight loss over time. "Many people are working hard to find ways to decrease their caloric intake to lose weight - well, just by sleeping more, you may be able to reduce it substantially."

她说：“但即使是在短短两周内，我们的定量数据也显示出热量摄入的减少，并且能量达成负平衡——热量的摄入少于消耗量。”“如果长期保持健康的睡眠习惯，假以时日，这将对减肥有很重要的临床意义。”“很多人都在努力寻找减少卡路里摄入的方法，希望能够减肥——只要多睡觉，你可能就能大幅减少卡路里的摄入。”

The study did not attempt to restrict people's diets. Instead, they slept in their ownbeds, tracked their sleep with wearable devices, and otherwise followed a normal lifestyle without any instructions on diet or exercise. Dr Tasali said that limiting the use of devices such as mobile phones before bedtime helped people get more sleep. She added: "We saw that after just a single sleep counselling session, participants could change their bedtime habits enough to lead to an increase in sleep duration.

这项研究并没有试图限制人们的饮食。相反，他们睡在自己的床上，用可穿戴设备跟踪睡眠情况，或者按照正常的生活方式，不遵循任何饮食或锻炼建议。塔萨里博士说，在睡前限制使用手机等设备等的使用时间，有助于人们延长睡眠时间。她补充道：“我们发现在接受一次睡眠咨询治疗后，参与者就会改掉自己的睡眠习惯，并足以增加睡眠时间。”
