Why do you think people in general sleep less now than before? Do you think the pace of modern life may be bad for us?

In present society ,sleeping is getting less and less important. Normally people think that the hours of daylight aren´t enough. On the one hand people use more hours to work or study but on the other hand other people use them to have social life or they entertain themselves with modern technology.

 First of all I think that teenagers and adults insist on contradict everybody. They put the rules and their hours . Some years ago people didn´t pay attention to watches but now everything is controlled. In my view another reason why people sleep less is the new drinks with caffeine. They drink some of this to be awake for long hours. I believe they take them owing to stress of work. Nowadays people have to work a lot of hours, they have to know a lot of things about the modern world. There is a lot of competence and anybody can be dismissed if the boss finds a better worker. At school  the same happens,  In bachillerato  the students have to get the best marks so that they can go to university  and they spend hours and hours during the night studying and drinking coffee even though this is bad for their health  and their achievement.  . Nevertheless, other people don´t work so hard but  they waste their time playing with computer games , play station or discovering the new technology . They can be awake all night. As a result, they reduce their sleeping time. Furthermore, some teenagers go out at night instead of sleeping even though they have to work the following day. Then they go straight  to work.

In conclusion, modern life is getting worse because there are more problems to be solved, more things to do , more kinds of entertainment  and more substances to avoid being sleepy. For this reason people don´t give importance to sleeping  enough time   but this can cause some healthy problems  and problems at work .Thereby  you won´t do nothing whatever you want .
