高考在即，在大考將近的氛圍中，如何“睡覺”也成為一門學問，有些考生因為壓力過大，導致緊張失眠，甚至一些家長也開始焦慮。對此專家提醒稱，考前出現(xiàn)焦慮是正常反應，考生和家長要學會科學地自我調(diào)整。

Situational insomnia refers to a temporary form of insomnia that occurs as a result of short-term factors present in a person’s life, ranging from travel (sleeping in a strange bed) to changed life circumstances (e.g., job loss, divorce, death of a loved one, etc.).
“情境性失眠”指的是生活中的短期因素導致的暫時性的失眠癥，比如旅行途中（換了床睡覺），或者生活環(huán)境發(fā)生了改變（失去工作、離婚、至親去世等等）。

‘Doc, I’ve been up for three days. I need something for sleep — I feel like a dead man walking,“ a 26-year-old accounting student said as he was preparing for his CA exams. Though he’s suffering the full effects of insomnia, his sleep difficulty is short-term, and should resolve quickly.
“醫(yī)生，我已經(jīng)失眠三天了，我需要睡覺。我感覺自己就像行尸走肉”，一位26歲的會計專業(yè)學生說，當時他正在準備認證會計師考試。盡管他飽受失眠癥困擾，但他的睡眠困難是短期的，很快就能解決。

Yet unlike the accounting student’s situational insomnia, our society is collectively suffering from a persistent lack of sleep.
和這位會計專業(yè)學生的情境性失眠不同的是，現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)人都受到長期缺乏睡眠的困擾。
