研究表明 伴侶在身旁能夠有效抵禦失眠
According to a new study, when you don't feel valued in a relationship, your sleep suffers.
一項最新研究表明，當你感到夫妻關係中沒有被重視時，你的睡眠會出現問題。Being valued by your partner is more important to your health than you might think.
被你的伴侶重視會對你的健康有很大的益處，這超乎你的想象。For couples, it turns out how well you think your partner understands and cares for you is linked to how well you sleep.
對於夫婦來說，你的伴侶對你瞭解多少以及對方怎樣關心你，這些都與你睡眠好壞相關聯。
Research published in journal Social Personality and Psychological Science says individuals with responsive partners experience lower anxiety and arousal, which in turns improves their sleep quality.
發表在《社會人格和心理科學》雜誌的研究表明，擁有一位積極迴應的伴侶的人就不會那麼焦慮和受到刺激，這反過來也會改進其睡眠質量。Using data from the Midlife Development in the United States project and other studies, researchers at Middle East Technical University in Turkey showed connections between partner responsiveness, physical health and psychological wellbeing over several years.
土耳其中東技術大學的研究者們利用美國中年生活開發項目和其他研究中得來的數據，花費幾年的時間來表明伴侶迴應、身體健康和心理健康之間的聯繫。"Having responsive partners who would be available to protect and comfort us is the most effective way for us humans to reduce anxiety, tension and arousal," said lead author Dr Emre Selcuk.
“擁有能夠保護、安慰、積極迴應我們的伴侶，是人類最有效的減輕焦慮、緊張和刺激的方式。”文章的第一作者埃姆雷·塞爾丘克博士說道。He says maintaining a loving and supportive relationship doesn't just do wonders for mental health but for physical health too, because one of the most important functions of sleep is to protect us against illness.
他表示，維持一份有愛的、相互支持的關係，不僅僅對精神健康有很大好處，而且對身體健康也有好處，因爲睡眠最重要的功能之一就是保護我們不生病。
