I culdn’t sleep at all last night, and my sister believes it was because I ate a bwl f really spicy (辛辣的) fd befre bedtime. Hwever, I was skeptical abut the cnnectin between spicy fds and sleep. Can eating spicy fds befre bedtime truly impact ne’s sleep quality? Sme peple believe that eating spicy fds befre bedtime can disrupt sleep by increasing bdy temperature and causing heartburn. It may be wrth aviding spicy fds clse t bedtime.
T find ut the relatin, the researchers in Australia cnducted an experiment t investigate the effects f spicy fds n sleep. They prvided a grup f individuals with delicius late-night meals, alternating (交替) between spicy and mild ptins. The results revealed that cnsuming spicy fds led t disrupted sleep patterns, causing participants t take lnger t fall asleep and sleep fr shrter time. This data supprted the belief that there is a crrelatin between eating spicy fds and experiencing sleep disturbances.

Scientists agree that predicting (预测) when and where an earthquake will ccur and hw big it will be is nt yet pssible. Therefre, much research has fcused n cming up with ways t reduce the damage frm earthquakes, rather than trying t predict when they will ccur. Specifically, finding mre infrmatin abut the place under the surface helps develpers and thers make safer chices when cnstructing a building. This is where Navakanesh M Batmanathan is putting his effrts.
Batmanathan is an earthquake gelgist at the Natinal University f Malaysia. He is actively engaged in mapping the areas surrunding earthquakes in Brne. Faults (断层) are places in the Earth’s crust (地壳) that are weak t sudden mvement between masses f rck, resulting in ccasinal earthquakes. Batmanathan is wrking t map the faults, as well as the infrastructure (基础设施) in the area f the faults, t hpefully reduce the ptential damage that can be caused by an earthquake. Develpers and engineers can use this knwledge t plan where it is safest t build and where earthquake-resistant structures are needed.
Batmanathan is using a variety f tls t map faults. Wrking n the grund t map the area is just ne f the methds he emplys. He als uses images frm satellites and grund-penetrating radar (GPR). GPR is a technlgy that creates an undergrund image withut digging. It has many applicatins, frm finding the water level t understand sil and rck types fr cnstructin prjects. Batmanathan and thers are using this technlgy t map faults, and the areas arund faults, t gain a clearer picture f ptential earthquake damage.
It might nt ever be pssible t knw exactly when r where an earthquake will happen, but Batmanathan hpes that his wrk will help educate peple and better prepare them fr earthquakes.
