单选题 "We"ve seen a 1 of people, people who have had longstanding problems with their sleep, who report that their sleep is getting worse because of the added stress of the economy, 2 people who are coming in, saying that they"ve never had a sleep problem before."
3 for sleep medications are at a record high. 4 if pill popping doesn"t sound like the solution, consider a good old-fashioned power-nap.
"You can nap 5 sleep loss, so after the fact, or you can nap in anticipation (预测，预料) of sleep loss because only sleep can replace sleep."
And napping may be just the ticket. Business is booming here at Yelo Wellness where believe it or not, people in Manhattan will pay nearly $30 for a 40-minute 6 .
"I just think it makes a real 7 first of all in my work, I do a better job, which means I"m gonna get a better bonus, and I"m not gonna burn 8 ."
Two thirds of adults say sleepiness interferes with their concentration and makes handling stress on the job more difficult. Regulars here say the fee 9 is a small price to pay to overcome exhaustion.
"Coming here, spending the money, taking a nap allows me to kind of burn the candle at 10 ends."
