根据以下内容回答题:American society is not nap friendly.“In fact,”says David Dinges,a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine,“there’S even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep.”Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.To quote a proverb:“Some sleep five hours,nature requires seven,laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”“Wrong.The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.We have to totally change onr attitude toward napping.”says Dr.William Dement of Stanford University,the god-father of sleep research. Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an“American sleep debt”which one member said was as important as the national debt.The commission was concerned about the danger,of sleepiness:people causing industrial accident or falling asleep while driving.This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House.According to recent reports,president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze(打瞌睡)every afternoon. About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to have“a mid-afternoon quiet phase”(also called“a secondary sleep gate”).Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make US refreshed.Clearly,we were born to nap. We,Superstars of Snooze,don’t nap to replace the lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.Rather,we“snack”on sleep,whenever,wherever and at whatever time we feellike it.I myself have napped in buses,ears,planes and on boats;on floors and beds;and in libraries,Offices and museums.
