Scientists have discovered a cure for the dreaded Monday morning blues - stop sleeping in on weekends.
A new study has found that lazy Saturday and Sunday lie-ins can disturb your body clock, leaving you fatigued at the start of the week.
科学家发现一种恐惧星期一早上的焦虑症的治疗方法--停止在周末睡懒觉。
一项新的研究发现星期六和星期天的慵懒的懒觉会打乱你的生物钟，让你在一周伊始就感到疲乏。

Flinders University sleep expert Leon Lack said people often used the weekend to catch up on sleep lost during the week.
But he told the Australasian Sleep Association Conference in Perth that while this might help pay off a "sleep debt", it came at a cost.
弗林德斯大学的睡眠专家Leon Lack说人们通常利用周末来补充在工作日失去的睡眠。
但是他在澳大利亚睡眠协会在Perth的会议上说，这可能会帮助你支付"睡眠债"，它又会带来代价。

"We've discovered that these sleep-ins are actually putting your body out of whack enough to change your Sunday night bedtime and set you up for Monday blues," Professor Lack told AAP.
His research team tested the theory by tracking 16 people over a weekend, asking them to go to bed a little later than they would on a weeknight but sleeping-in an extra two hours.
"我们已经发现那些睡懒觉的习惯实际上会使你身体偏离正常的生物钟，改变你星期天晚上的就寝时间，并导致星期一焦虑症。"教授Lack告诉AAP
他的研究团队检验了这个理论，通过超过一周的研究，跟踪16个人，要求他们周末到床上睡觉要迟于他们打算的时间，但要多睡额外两小时。

By comparing saliva samples and hormone tests he found participants' body clocks had been delayed by 45 minutes.
"That might not sound like a lot but it means that you're not quite as sleepy on Sunday night at the normal bedtime and you'll be much sleepier the next day," Prof Lack said.
通过对唾液样本和荷尔蒙测试的比较，他发现所有的参与测试人的生物钟都被延迟了45分钟。
"一个晚上的测试可能不说明问题，但是它意味着如果你不是按平时的就寝时间沉睡，你会在第二天非常困。"教授Lack说。

Questionnaires completed on Monday and Tuesday showed much higher levels of self-reported fatigue and tiredness compared with pre sleep in days.
This was because the subjects' circadian rhythms - which determine patterns of alertness and tiredness - had been disturbed, creating an effect similar to jet lag.
问卷完成后显示，自我感觉困乏和疲惫的水平在星期一星期二会比按时就寝的日子高出很多。
这是因为人体生理节奏--决定人机敏性和疲倦性的程序已经被打乱了，导致了一个像时差的后果。

By mid-week most people manage to get back on track but then they start staying up later, getting into "debt" once again and perpetuating the cycle.
"These days, we're pushing ourselves a lot, particularly during the week and the weekend is our only refuge," Prof Lack said.

The problem, he says, is that this comes at a price.
"It's a bit like paying off a mortgage - you take out a big one and you'll have a lot to pay off later on."
这个问题，他说，就是为什么会带来代价的原因。
"这就有点像在支付按揭--你拿走了一大份，你以后就要还更大的一份！"
