《内部时间》[qh]
“Six hours’ sleep for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool,” Napoleon famously prescribed. But despite the laughably sexist hierarchy, his rule of thumb turns out to be grossly unsupported by science. In Internal Time: Chronotypes, Social Jet Lag, and Why You’re So Tired (public library), one of the best science books of 2012, German chronobiologist Till Roenneberg demonstrates through a wealth of research that our sleep patterns have little to do with laziness and other such scorned character flaws, and everything to do with biology.[qh]
拿破仑有句名言:“男人每天睡6个小时,女人睡7个小时,而白痴睡8个小时”这段广为流传的名言除了可笑的性别歧视主义成分外，它也被证明毫无科学依据。在2012年最佳科学书籍之一的《内部时间：生物钟，社会时差和为什么你会累》中，德国时间生物学家蒂尔·罗内伯格通过广泛研究得出了一个结论：我们的睡眠模式与懒惰以及其他类似的人格缺陷无关，它只是同我们的生物构造有关。[qh]
