有說人不睡覺,會影響一個人的智慧?有科學跟據嗎?

The function of sleeping is to get rest. Some monks can carry out meditation and do not need sleeping. Sleeping is to let the body cells to recover and to replicate. Some people can still be healthy only sleeping a few hours daily. If you cannot get sufficient rest, your bodily damages cannot recover, your bodily organs will not function properly including your brain. That is why you feel more refreshing in the morning after sleeping.

Rest does not mean that you are sleeping. If you are resting in bed, you also may have rest to a certain degree. So it is not ridiculous for the second speaker to tell what he expressed. He did not lie and only just told the truth, thanks.

因人而異!
我有一個病人,住了一個月E院,都沒有睡過。
還未死。
最後出院了。

人不進食可以活上七天，但不睡眠只能活四天；長期失眠更帶來注意力不集中、記憶障礙等後果。此外，科學家首度發現安眠藥會觸發奇幻的「夢食症」，患者在睡夢中狂食致暴肥，醒來卻一無所知。

充足睡眠、均衡飲食及適當運動，是國際公認的三項健康標準。動物試驗證明，白老鼠若超過六天不睡眠，就會出現運動失調症狀，直至腦電波電壓降低、消失而死亡。比起小白鼠，人類對睡眠的倚賴更深，不眠不休的話頂多能活上四天。

醫學研究證實，長期失眠會導致注意力不足、記憶障礙及工作力不從心等後果。此外，睡眠不足會使人體免疫力下降，抗病和康復疾病的能力減弱。兒童嚴重睡眠不足可影響發育，因熟睡時腦內分泌的生長激素最多，這是促進孩子骨骼生長的主要物質。
