The mental health benefits of gardening are so strong that a field of medicine called horticultural therapy has been developed to help people who have psychiatric disorders deal with their conditions. Studies of people with dementia and anxiety have found that gardening helps calm their agitation, leading to better sleep patterns and improved quality of their rest.
园艺工作的精神健康好处是如此强大以至于园艺疗法这一医学领域开始发展，来帮助患有精神疾病的人治疗他们的症状。研究患有痴呆和焦虑症的人也已经发现园艺工作可以帮助他们平息躁动，养成更好的睡眠方式和提高睡眠质量。
There's no reason the rest of us won't benefit, too. Researchers from the International Society for Horticultural Science interviewed 42 people both with cancer and without cancer, and found that all of them used gardening as a coping strategy for stressful life situations. The less we're all stressed out, the better we'll sleep.
同样，没有理由其他人不受益。国际园艺学会研究人员访问了42名患有癌症和没患癌症的人，发现他们都把园艺当成对紧张生活的一种放松方法。我们越压力越小，就会睡得更好。
