SLEEP DEBT

Nowadays many people sleep fewer hours than they should because their pace of life is very stressing. Moreover, due to this stress and the lack of sleep they are tired and they aren’t productive at work. In addition, if they don’t work well, companies lose money and the economy goes bad.

I think these people don’t sleep enough because the modern society doesn’t let them. People work too much because they need to earn more money in order to pay their huge houses, electrical appliances, clothes and other purchases, new and expensive cars... They have lots of things to do and little time, therefore, they hurry up in excessive way, so they are stressed, they need more time and they reduce their hours of sleep. Nevertheless, if they don’t sleep, their abilities diminish, health can be harmed and they work in a bad way. Consequently, people also drink much coffee and the caffeine can also damage their health.

I believe that in some cases this lifestyle can be bad and harmful to us. Society advances and we must advance with society too, but we must do this cautiously.
