SLEEP DEBT

Nowadays we can see a big difference between the time that we sleep now and ages ago. With the discovery of electricity and also our lifestyle, our sleeping time has changed.

Ages ago people went to sleep when the sun set and they got up very early. That had a positive effect since people had more vitality in their jobs. But nowadays with electrical lighting, televisions, electrical appliances, etc. This makes us work harder to be able to pay for everything and we less time to sleep.

As I see it, modern life may be bad for everybody because the health experts say that sleep is as important as eating and drinking. A sleep debt can affect health and cause physical problems such as stress, hallucinations (in extreme cases), daytime sleepiness. This sleep debt makes people work with less vitality and many countries lose money in productivity.


In conclusion, nowadays people should give more importance to sleep, however, it is an important thing to live more and better.
