In a study published Monday in the journal Heart, researchers from the University Hospital of Lausanne in Switzerland detailed the results from their study on the relationship between napping frequency/average nap time and the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular disease (CVD).

瑞士洛桑大学医院的研究人员在周一发表在《心脏》杂志上的一项研究中，详细介绍了他们对午睡频率/平均午睡时间与致命性和非致命性心血管疾病(CVD)风险之间关系的研究结果。

For the study, researchers tracked 3,462 Swiss adults between the ages of 35 and 75 for a little more than five years. When the study began, 58 percent of participants said they had not napped in the previous week, while 19 percent said they took one to two naps. Roughly 12 percent took three to five, while 11 percent took six to seven.

在这项研究中，研究人员对3462名年龄在35岁至75岁之间的瑞士成年人进行了为期五年多的跟踪调查。在这项研究开始之前，58%的参与者说他们在前一周没有午睡过，而19%的人说他们午睡了一到两次。在午睡的这群人中，大约12%的人选择了三到五分钟，而11%的人选择了六到七分钟。

By the end, they concluded that those who took a nap once or twice a week had a 48 percent lower risk of suffering a heart attack, stroke or heart failure than those who did not take naps.

最后，他们得出结论，每周小睡一两次的人患心脏病、中风或心力衰竭的风险比不午睡的人低48%!
