Lack of shut-eye leads to fatter kids, study says Sleeping less than magic threshold of 9 hours, 45 minutes packed on pounds Kids' lack of sleep can lead to obesity 孩童睡眠不足易肥胖 Nov. 5: The link between sleep and obesity in adults has long been established, but relatively little has been known about this relationship in children until now. 一直以来，研究显示了成人的肥胖与否与睡眠习习相惯，但直到现在才有报告指出 孩童的睡眠对肥胖也有明显关系。 Here’s another reason to get the kids to bed early: More sleep may lower their risk of becoming obese. 睡饱点也许能减少孩童肥胖的危险。 Researchers have found that every additional hour per night a third-grader spends sleeping reduces the child’s chances of being obese in sixth grade by 40 percent. 研究指出，三年级孩童若能多睡一个小时，将能减少他们在六年级时发胖的机率达４成。 The less sleep they got, the more likely the children were to be obese in sixth grade, no matter what the child’s weight was in third grade, said Dr. Julie Lumeng of the University of Michigan, who led the research. （这个研究还指出，不论孩童三年级时的体重多重，假如没睡饱，都会增加在六年级时 　发胖的可能性。） http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21624572/ -- An English Club in Kaohsiung http://aeclub.b.forumable.net --
