太心酸！1/3英国人担心财务状况半夜惊醒

　　根据一项民意测验，有超过三分之一的英国人因为担忧自己的财政状况而在半夜惊醒。

　　Financial woes¹ are more disturbing than concerns about work, relationships, health and even a partner who snores or shifts around too much.

　　比起人们常有的工作、人际关系和健康问题，甚至是身边有一个老是翻来覆去或是打鼾的家伙，经济问题更令人们感到困扰不堪。

　　The reasons for being restless emerged in a survey which showed almost three-quarters of Britons struggle to get a good night’s rest.

　　这份调查显示四分之三的英国人晚上无法安然入睡，同时也揭露了这种现象的原因。

　　Sunday is the worst, as we worry about the week ahead, and the most likely time to wake is 2am-3am.

　　周日是失眠最严重的日子，人们会在这天担心即将到来的一周，所以最有可能在凌晨两点到三点时段惊醒。

　　Anxiety about work keeps 30 per cent from slumber², just ahead of being too hot.

　　工作忧虑而导致的失眠达到30%，位于“睡眠环境过热”原因之前。

　　Thinking about their love life disrupts a fifth of sleepers³, the same proportion who rise to go to the toilet.

　　同时，五个调查者中就有一个担心自己的感情问题——这与晚上睡觉起来上厕所而造成的无法入睡比例相同。

　　由英国平价连锁经济型酒店Premier Inn发起的这项调查称，十分之三的睡眠者会因为伴侣的失眠而失眠。

　　The majority say sleepless⁶ nights are caused by things playing on their mind, rather than physical disturbances⁷ like annoying car alarms or persistent⁸ dog barking.

　　大部分的调查者表示，他们无法入睡不是因为讨厌的汽车警报器声或连续不断的狗吠等诸如此类的物理原因，而是有问题一直充斥在自己的脑子里造成的。

　　However, the beeping, flashing or buzzing of mobile phones does cause one in 20 of us to stir from our slumber.

　　然而，手机的闪烁或嗡嗡振动等也会惊扰5%的英国人从睡梦中醒来。

　　Premier Inn酒店的发言人克莱尔海格坦言：“不幸的是，我们大部分人都会在人生的某个时候或阶段经历痛苦难熬的失眠之夜。”

　　'It can be extremely frustrating⁹ when something is playing on your mind and it makes it hard to drop off.

　　“当你脑子里有事纠结时确实是很郁闷的，你很难将它轻易甩掉。”

　　'The fact people have stated money and finances as the top reason for a restless night's sleep is a real reflection of the tough economic climate.

　　“担心自己的财政状况成为人们无法安然入睡的首要原因，这个事实也反映出当前全球举步维艰的经济环境。”

　　'Dwelling¹⁰ on things at night when you are already tired can make things seem a lot worse than they are. It is important to relax and switch off before bed so we get the good night's sleep we need.'

　　“若你已经非常疲惫，却还在晚上睡觉时过多地考虑一个问题，你会将本来简单的事情思考得愈加复杂棘手。因此，如果想有质量好的睡眠，那么到睡觉时间就关掉大脑，好好放松美美睡一觉吧！”
