When you are busy with your schoolwork, you might find it hard to get enough sleep. Not getting enough sleep is bad for our health. What's more, less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends.
According to scientists from the University of California, if people don't get enough sleep, they show no interest in others.
The scientists did a small study. Some young people watched videos of people walking towards them. When the person on the video got too "close" to them, they stopped the video. It showed how close they allowed the person to get.
The result showed that people kept the person at 60% further back when they didn't have enough sleep. They felt that their personal space was invaded (入侵). But when they got a good night's sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to the scientists, the less sleep you get, the less you get close to others. In turn, other people may think you aredissociable and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. The situation gets worse.
So if you want to be a more popular person, sleeping well might help. "One night of good sleep makes you feel more outgoing and confident,"one of the scientists said.

A myth(传说) is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There are a lot of myths about the human brain. One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, we'll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it's not true! Tho truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function(功能). Modern scientists think the"10 percent myth" ridiculous(荒谬的). The other most popular myth is about being" right brained" or" left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it's also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally. It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more, or that scientific people use the left side more. We've talked about myths, so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It's also the fattest organ(器官) in your body. Here's one more interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing. |
