Those who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick. Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness.
The study of 79 adults(average age 72)with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help. Traditional behavioral therapy (疗法)requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist—a costly commitment many patients either can’t make or don’t have access to. Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements. In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45-to 60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls.
Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep. reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; don’t go to bed unless sleepy; and don’t stay in bed unless asleep.
The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualized sessions with a therapist. Two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call.
At the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group. By that time, 55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia compared with 13% of the group that got educational brochures.
The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.’S Mental Health Foundation. The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate. Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease.

Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you’ll know they’re actually the latest in teenage footwear.
But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.
Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers’ shoe choice.
KEDS/VANS
Slip-on shoes with elastic(弹性的)sides are particularly popular among teenage boys-with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.
The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.
BALLET PUMPS
The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans.However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.
“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait(步法),this leads to short-and long-term problems such as calluses(茧子),heel and knee pain.”
WEDGES AND STILETTOS
These shoes can also cause problems with gait, They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer’s body weight forward, making them very unstable.
Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.
SCHOOL SHOES
So what do podiatrists(足科医生)have on their with list, especially for everyday wear?
Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on,with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark’s, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.
If your teen insists on wearing ‘bad’shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器)in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.
91.Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?
A.Marks & Spencer. B.Wedges & Stilettos.
92.Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?
A. B. C. D.
93.The underlined word “halt”in the last paragraph probably means .
A.increase B.worsen C.stop D.cure
94.From this passage we can infer .
A.trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health
B.fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them
C.experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes
D.podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes
95.In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?
A.Sports . B.Science. C.Health. D.Shopping.
