6、 project of researchers at the University of Pittsburghs School of Medicine. They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social medi
7、a when treating sleep issues.“This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can influence your sleep.” said Jessica C Levenson. She was the lead author of a report on the study.The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young
8、 adults. Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first “generation to grow up with social media.”The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Credit and Tumbler. For the study, they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adult
9、s, aged 19 to 32. On average, members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also visited various social media 30 times per week.”Thirty percent of the studys participants reported having serious problems with sleeping. Those people who used social media a lot were three tim
10、es more likely to have a sleep disorder. And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances.Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media. If thi

D “People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, tothe point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them, said FairfieldUniversitys psychologic
15、al scientist Linda Henkel, who conducted a study to find theso-calledphoto-taking Impairment(削弱 )Effect. When people rely on technologyto remember something -counting on the camera to record the event and thus notneeding to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well the
16、remember their experiences.” The new study shows that snapshots taken with a digital camera or a smart phonemay cause the photographer to form a weaker memory of the object compared tosomeone who simply observes。 To reach that conclusion, researchers tested a number of college students in anexperime
17、nt at the universitys Bellarmine Museum of Art. Participants were asked totake special note of a particular set of objects using either photography or observation.The following day, each participant was asked to describe the objects and their memories were tested. The results proved that the camera-
18、happy participants remembered fewer objectsand fewer details about the objects and the objects locations in the museum than ifthey instead only observed the objects and did not photograph them. “Research has also suggested that the lack of organization of digital photos forpersonal memories discoura
19、ges many people from accessing and remembering them,”Henkel states. In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos,rather than just accumulate them.” So, before you take out your camera, ask yourself if theres a better way to preserve the moment.33. Why did Henkel conduct the s
