Thewarning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, whenthey did not before.There is certainly a
19、 good reasonto believe that daytime sleepiness -as in the Alzheimers study-can be a marker of an underlying condition.

The feeling 第 5 页 共 103 页 to notice is “sleepiness,he says, not tiredness”,which could bemore psychological and linked to stress. So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanle
21、y, is howlong your nap lasts.Choose either a 20-or 90-mintute nap. “ When you fall asleep, youll quickly go throughthe lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You dont want to wake updid before because thats when you wake and feel worse than you did before.” Nappingfor 20 minut
22、es means you willwake up before you go into deep sleep;napping for 90minutes means youll complete a sleep cycle. Once you factor in the timeit takes to fall asleep-some peopleare better at nappingthan others but, says Stanley, “a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes”-you can se

27、ging over the vaccines that many people dont yet understand. The vaccines will be much less effective at preventing death and illness in 2021 if they are introduced into a population where the coronavirus is still severe - as is now the case in the U.S. A vaccine is like a fire hose(消防龙头) A vaccine
28、thats 95 percent effective,as Modernas and Pfizers versions appear to be,is a powerful fire hose.But the size of a fire is still a bigger determinant of how much destruction occurs. At the current level of infection in the U.S.(about 200,000 confirmed new infections per day),a vaccine that is 95 per
29、cent effective-distributed at the expected pace-would sill leave a terrible toll(伤亡人数) in the six months after it was introduced.Almost 10 million or so Americans would catch the virus, and more than 160,000 would die. This is far worse than the toll in a different situation where the vaccine was on
30、ly 50 percent effective but the U.S. had reduced the infection rate to its level in early September (about 35,000 new daily cases).In that case,the death toll in the next six months would be kept to about 60,000. Its worth pausing for a moment on this comparison.If the U.S.had maintained its infecti

But the reality we have is actually worse. How could this be? No vaccine can get rid of a pandemic immediately,just 第 7 页 共 103 页 as.no fire
32、hose can put out a forest fire. While the vaccine is being distributed, the virus continues to do damage. There is one positive way to look at this: Measures that reduce the viruss spread - like mask-wearing, social distancing and rapid-result testing-can still have great consequences. They can save
