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?

Nowadays people are more likely to suffer from stress due to modern lifestyle leading to sleep disorders such as sleep debt but, what other effects has stress in our lives?

First of all, modern lifestyle is marked by stress and hurries which affect negatively on our health and may cause psychological and physical diseases such as depression and cronical exhaustion. One of the well known consequences of stress is sleep debt which is marked by mental and physical fatigue. This might be caused because of demands of work, social activities and this makes us sleep less than in the old days. I think this could be fixed by predeterminating a schedule and by making people more organized so they would sleep more. Modern life makes things easier for us but it is also hastier and an example of modern life and hurries are fast food restaurants which nowadays are succesfull but they weren't in the past.

To sum up, modern life is marked by stress and we are more likely to suffer from sleep debt  and other diseases derived from stress.

SLEEP DEBT

Today many people are stressed for many different reasons. The economy is the main factor why people are losing sleep, but work and family problems are also some reasons.


Many times people are stressed because they don't have enough time to do  everything they have to do, so this means that many people may not sleep well and rest. Today our lifestyle obliges us to wake up early and go to bed very late, either because we have to work, study or because we are addicted to video games, Internet, television or mobile phones. So if we continue sleeping less than 7 or 8 hours, in the future, we may be prone to problems of obesity, depression or anxiety.


In conclusion, we have so many distractions in our everyday life that many people don't realize that sleep is very important to our health.

Sleep debt

The fact that people, nowadays, sleep less than before, is something that is happening worldwide and it can cause serious problems in our health and affect on / affect our daily lives.

I think that daily life has changed comparing with the past/,compared to the past, daily life has changed. People in general, spend more hours working or doing extra-activities than before. People probably are getting more stressed and have a lot of problems that people didn’t have before, maybe because (prep)/ of the crisis. The ingestion of alcohol, caffeine or other products at night produce that we can’t sleep.

Also, the technological machines, like computers, TV, mobile phones and others are making people spending / waste more time, above all at night, and it makes us to  more time awake or maybe that we don’t sleep enough/ and therefore, we don't sleep enough/ which makes us stay away more time and consequently we don't have enough sleep. The recommendation is to sleep between 7-8 hours per night.  All this is causing a great damage on our health, because we need to sleep enough time to be disposable / ready to work or make/ do activities correctly. 

To sum up, we should change some things in our lives, we should be used to try/ get used to trying to organize our daily lives with the purpose to/ to / in order to / so as to / so that we can sleep the hours that we need  and in consequence, feel better with ourselves. If we don’t do it, we could have health problems in the future. 

Sleep debt

It’s a fact that, nowadays, people sleep less hours per night than before, and that this may cause damage in our health.

In my opinion, people sleep less now because their lifestyle has changed. Leisure time is spent in other activities that are scheduled later than in the past. We consume more caffeine from coffee and other drinks, we have a different workday and we have more amenities at home than before. Computers, televisions and other devices are making people go to bed later because they offer more alternatives than in the past. All of these things are thought to be damaging our health, because we’re sleeping less hours per night than the hours required. Consequently, we should make some changes in our lifestyle, administrating better our leisure time and trying to consume less caffeine, in order to sleep all the hours we need and feel better.

To sum up, what is causing a sleep debt is the frenetic life of our century, and we have to get used to it (with probable health problems) or change it. 

SLEEP DEBT

Nowadays, we sleep less than before but we don’t know why. Maybe we don’t need to sleep eight hours or we have more important things to do.

In my opinion we sleep less because we like doing other things more than sleeping such as watching TV, surf the Internet, etc. Some people think sleeping is a waste of time and they only sleep four or five hours in order to have time to do interesting things. To my mind, sleep is very important because it’s healthy and you recover the energy you have wasted during the day. Moreover, if you have slept properly you will do your tasks better and you’ll be happier.

To sum up, sleeping is one of the most important things and we should sleep at least eight hours every day, if not, we could have serious problems, especially health difficulties.

SLEEP DEBT

According to studies conducted in recent years, people sleep less than years ago. But, why do we sleep less than before? Maybe we need fewer hours to sleep, or we don’t take care of our health.

It’s true that now we can be more entertained , it is easier to do more things, like playing sports, watching TV… but can these things take away our hours of sleep? As we do more things, we are more stressed. For this reason, our lives are faster than before, although we live longer. A person needs eight hours of sleep every night and if we don’t sleep eight hours, we are tired and we have health problems.

In conclusion, if we don’t get enough sleep, we will have serious problems in the future, and then there will be no solution. So if we want to live as well as before, we have to take care of our health and for that we need to sleep more. 

SLEEP DEBT

Nowadays people sleep less than 20 or 30 years ago. An adult needs eight hours of sleep per night, but why do we sleep less? Do we need to sleep less than before? Or are we damaging our health?

From my point of view, our lives are faster than before. Modern life is more stressing and we have lots of things to do every day, so we sleep less in order to have more time to do those things. To my mind, we’re reducing our hours of sleep because we need more time to do things such as homework, study, housework… Moreover, when we don’t sleep enough hours, we’re causing health problems and we are overcharging our body. We need to rest because our body needs to repose.

In my opinion, if we don’t start to sleep more hours we’ll have serious health problems in the future because our body won’t be able to bear it.

SLEEP DEBT

Nowadays, experts say that people sleep less than before and, in spite of sleeping a bit more during weekends we can't recover the working days sleep debt.


In my opinion the sleep debt of today's people is caused by our hectic lifestyle. On the one hand, if wehave more stressful jobs than  before, we should need more sleeping hours. On the other hand, people who have stressing jobs are the people who sleep less, probably because their lifestyle requires more free time in order to disconnect from their jobs. Despite knowing this, people are still sleeping less than they need, because they think they will have no side effects, and this is what experts warn us about: the sleep debt is going to be paid in the future, and this damage will be irreversible


In conclusion, if you want to be better in studies, in your job....you should do for a short term, assessing your goodness and, first of all, your health.

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

Most people are sleeping less now than before. However, our lifestyle seems to have improved. What has happened?

I think that the new modern lifestyle has made our lives busier than before. For instance, nowadays most people have got a job, some hobbies, a family and financial problems. Therefore, our lives have become more enjoyable owing to their hobbies, but we have less time in order to do other things like sleeping. Workdays have also become longer so as to allow them to invest more money in hobbies. Moreover, internet networks need a lot of time to be up-to-date with society, above all for teenagers.

In conclusion, we should relax a bit and enjoy our lives without leaving out pleasures like sleeping and resting.

SLEEP DEBT

Nowadays, the amount of technology we’ve got has permitted people to have more entertainment. Thirty or forty years ago, none of our parents or grandparents had thought that things would have changed as much as they have.

At home, any person who doesn’t live in a poor country has got loads of TV programs to watch, computer games to play with, and friends to chat with. As people work, go to school, and have got lots of activities to do during the day, they have to have fun with their gadgets at night time, consequently, they sleep less. The same happens with students at high school, due to the fact that they haven’t got enough time during the day, the majority of them usually study when it’s dark.

In my opinion, bad things of this century are not only sleeping less and drinking caffeine, but also things like cars’ carbon emissions and fertilizers, which damage our health as well. The good point of all this is that, luckily, technology has let us have medicines, but we haven’t found the way to save the world yet. 

WHY PEOPLE SLEEP LESS NOW THAN BEFORE

At present, people usually sleep less than before, in general, young people. And it is caused by the advantages oftechnology and the direction of the new society.

Firstly, the majority of  people now sleep less than before because they have more things to do like take care of their children, do some work or just be on the computer without doing anything  . This type of things are a result of modern life, because with all these new changes like the TV and all the films and programs they put on it or just all the games and social webs on the computer, are causing that. Another thing is that some people don’t do their tasks in their free time and then when the night comes, they have to do them. 

Finally, I don’t think that modern life is bad for us, but in my opinion people need to sleep  at least seven or eight hours, and the majority of most people don’t sleep it, which affect to their efficiency. In my opinion, people can use the advantages  of modern life but with some measure.

OUR LIFESTYLE!
