Det är svårt att ge ett exakt svar utan sammanhanget, men det kan betyda "förmåga att klara av ngt/stå ut med ngt" eller helt enkelt "lämplighet". Vad är sammanhanget?
As a result, the most powerful attack on the monster of insomnia is to do nothing at all. The first and best approach to sleeplessness is to let the sleep homeostat right itself, without making any attempt to compensate. It's also possible that the prompt use of a sleeping pill—say after a couple of sleepless nights, rather than after several wretched months—can get the natural mechanism back on track.
That's welcome news, given what's known about the destructive power of persistent insomnia. Chronic insomnia brings on irritability, headaches and muscle pain. It destroys concentration and mental well-being, it weakens
coping skills and robs vitality. It undermines intimate relationships. On-the-job injury rates soar 400 percent for the sleep-deprived. Sixteen percent of absenteeism is associated with insomnia, adding up to $50 billion a year. "Presenteeism"—inability to focus on the job while there—brings the total cost to $150 billion. "Insomnia is the bastard cousin to everything," says Perlis.
