Why do you think people in general sleep less now than before?

People sleep less now than before and I think that it is because of several problems like technologic, T.V, internet or our lifestyle.

On the one hand technology is very harmful because the human body will be on alert if we use technology before sleeping and there are a lot of people who do it.

On the other hand I think that people now have got another lifestyle, now life is quick and we haven’t got time to rest, It make because of upsets us when we need more time to sleep. Although we need eight hours’ sleep, we sleep less.

Another reason is caffeine, our society drinks a lot of coffee and it is bad. Specialists recommend one or two coffees per day but many people drink a lot of more than one or two coffees.

In conclusion, I think that humans should change some of these things to sleep more.

why do you think people in general sleep less than before?

Sleep is a natural activity for humans it has always been necessary but Is it necessary at present?

Years ago, the majority of people woke up early to work all day, usually in the countryside. These people, when the sun went down, went to bed physically tired the day after because they had to work hard to survive. However things have changed. As a result, people work to eat but we also spend money on discos or having some beers in a bar…Those activities are typical at night and at that time our body is tired because it is late but we drink alcohol or caffeine to be awake. We also drink some tea or some coffee when we have to study. The day after, our body isn’t as well as normally. You can’t concentrate on your activities, your reflexes can be worse. You can be definitely more tired and irritable. Furthermore the activities you do that day can get an awful answer from your body.

Nowadays people sleep less than before because of artificial stimulants and entertainment. For these reasons, during the day, people feel tired and they don’t do activities energetically.
