听力材料： Americans are suffering from a serious sleepdeficit as they spend more time on leisure activities.A world that "never goes to sleep" offers manydiverse activities, but encourages unhealthy andsometimes anti-social lifestyles for American adults.Instead of working to live, they are living to work, ashift that has had a profound impact on their personal lives. Adults report spending less timesleeping, engaged in social and leisure activities. Most Americans say they suffer from sleepproblems and when they go to sleep, many sleep alone even if they are married. These aresome of the key findings in the National Sleep Foundation's 2001 "Sleep in America" poll, whichlooks at the relationship between Americans' lifestyles, sleep habits and sleep problems. Sleepdeprivation continues to be widespread in America. According to the NSF poll, 63% ofAmerican adults do not get the recommended eight hours of sleep needed for good health,safety, and optimum performance. In fact, nearly one-third report sleeping less than sevenhours each week night, though many adults say they try to sleep more on weekends. The pollshows good news and bad news. The good news is that many Americans say they don'twant to give up any more sleep in spite of their hectic lives. And they would sleep more if theywere convinced it would contribute to their quality of life. The bad news is far too manyadults still sacrifice sleep, which is unhealthy and counter-productive.
