一项最新调查表明，小睡能增强记忆力。
Researchers at The City University of New York found that having a brief sleep improved people's ability to remember things.
纽约城市大学的研究者们发现，小睡一觉能提高人的记忆力。
Volunteers were told to memorise 1 pairs of words. When they were tested straight afterwards and six hours later, those who had been allowed a nap of up to one hour before the retest achieved 15 percent higher scores than the volunteers who had not been allowed to go to sleep.
研究人员让参加调查的志愿者记住几组单词，并在分别记完之后和6小时后对他们进行测试。结果发现，那些在接受再次测试前小睡了1小时的人比未小睡的人得分高出15个百分点。
The researchers told New Scientist magazine: "Traditionally, time devoted 2 to daytime napping has been considered counterproductive ."
研究人员在接受《新科学家》杂志采访时说："人们一直认为白天小睡起不到什么积极作用。"
But they added that it now seemed that sleep was "an important mechanism 3 for memory formation".
但是，现在看来，睡眠"是形成记忆的一个重要途径"。
The study was published in the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, the magazine said.
据《新科学家》杂志介绍，此项研究结果发表在《学习和记忆神经生物学》上。
