Sleeplessness

Insomnia or sleeplessness is a common complaint of women as they enter into menopause.Insomnia
means having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you.
For women who are having night sweats,their sleep is broken by frequent awakening and therefore not re-
freshing. Generally once the night sweats are controlled a normal sleep pattern returns.If it doesn't it may
be,or have become chronic insomnia. How do you know?
If you suffer from insomnia every night or most nights for a period of one month then you have chronic
insomnia.If you're not having night sweats then it's time to look for other causes of sleeplessness. Depression
and anxiety disorders are the most common causes of chronic insomnia. If you feel depressed you need to be
checked by a qualified health care provider. Movement disorders such as restless leg syndrome are second on
the list of insomnia for them,there are new medicines that may help.Other common causes are shift work-
ing,and pain.
In up to 30%of people with chronic insomnia no cause can be identified.Medical treatment of these
people has generally been with sleeping pills.It is estimated that 25% of the adult population in America
took some type of medicines for sleep last year. It is generally agreed that sleeping pills should only be in the
lowest dose and for the shortest possible time.
Sleep hygiene is directed at changing bad sleep habits.The recommendations are:一Go to bed only
when sleepy. Do not wait up to a specilized time. Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evening,etc.

选项 The expression"second on the list"in the second paragraph means________.
A:the second least important cause of all kinds of sleeplessness
B:the second most important cause of sleeplessness
C:the second on the doctor's list about sleepless people
D:the second on the writer's list recording sleeplessness

答案B

解析本文第二句给了“insomnia”的定义,"Insomnia means having trouble falling asleep or sta-ying asleep or the feeling that your sleep was not adequate for you",故选A。
文章第二段中提到的引起失眠的原因有六种,即:night sweats, depression, anxiety disor-ders,movement disorders,shift working,pain.
second on the list意思是“从重要性方面来看位于第二”。
文章第三段最后一句话提到了安眠药“…sleeping pills should only be in the lowest dose...”即应使用最小剂量。
最后一段提出建议:困了就睡和晚上不喝令人兴奋的咖啡和酒等,并不要求定时上床,故A项是错误的。
