of time that you are awake adds to something called “sleep drive.───你醒着的时间会增强“睡眠驱动力。”

In spite of these influences, however, it may be that an actual biological deterioration of the sleep drive might also be playing a role.───不计这些影响，然而，它可能是一个实际的生物恶化的睡眠驱动器也可以发挥作用。

Flies lacking the gene for amylase had normal sleep and waking cycles, showing that while amylase is tightly linked to sleep drive, it is not actively involved in its regulation.───缺少淀粉酶基因的果蝇其睡眠苏醒的周期正常，这表明虽然淀粉酶与睡眠冲动关系密切，但却与睡眠冲动调节无太大关联。

That's a huge mismatch that can actually inhibit your sleep drive and cause insomnia all by itself.───这是一个巨大的失谐，这实际上抑制睡眠驱动，能完全单独地引起失眠。

Tempting as it is, insomniacs shouldn't nap: It can sap your weak sleep drive.───即使这很诱惑，但失眠患者不应该作这种小睡：这会弱化你后来的睡眠冲动。
