随着生活、工作节奏的不断加快，人们的压力也越来越大!看看，竟然有“外国友人”连睡着了都能给别人发信息!然而，至于为什么要发信息，信息中都发了一些什么内容，这些人却不得而知。这“鸭梨实在大”，真是伤不起啊!
据导师介绍，这种现象是会给人们的生活和工作带来一定的影响。因为很多患者醒来之后根本不记得发信息的事情。导师还告诉大家一些改变这种现象的方法——要重视睡眠，而且在晚上睡觉的尽量将手机关机。这样或许会好一点。
The stress of daily life has sparked a new phenomenon - sleep texting.
People with the rare condition send incoherent text messages while asleep to their friends and family - completely unaware that they are doing it.
Sleep specialist Dr David Cunnington, of Melbourne Sleep Disorder Centre in Australia, said patients had reported incidents of sleep texting - and he has advised people to leave their mobile phones outside the bedroom.
He said: 'We have had patients who have reported sending text messages to their friends and family while asleep.
'It is one of those things that happens, but it is very rare, and certainly not a common trend.'
Unsurprisingly, there are no studies into sleep texting - but a similar phenomenon, sleep emailing, was studied in 2008.
Researchers at the University of Toledo reported the case of a woman, 44, who would compose emails while sound asleep. She had no recollection of sending the emails when awake.
Dr Cunnington said cases of sleep emailing were more common, and were likely to have a more detrimental effect on the lives of sufferers.
He said: 'Emails can be sent to work colleagues and have much more serious consequences, whereas text messages are more likely to be accidentally sent to a friend or family member, so people aren't as likely to complain of a problem.'
Dr Cunnington described sleep texting as the result of people having too much to do during waking life.
He explained: 'People are doing so much during a normal day that it can mean that they feel like they're "on call" even at night.
'Because it's so easy to receive emails constantly, and get notifications from smartphones, it becomes more difficult for us to separate our waking and sleeping lives.'
Dr Cunnington said people struggling to get a quality night's sleep should keep their phones out of the bedroom.
'The key point is that people need to respect their sleep, and make an effort to switch off at night.'
