Q. People nowadays sleep less than they used to in the past. What do you think that is the reason for this? What are the consequences for the people and people around them?

It is true that our sleep patterns have changed significantly over the past five decades. Nowadays people sleep much less than their ancestors. Personally, I think this is due to the growing stress and impact of the digital age. However, this phenomenon has serious consequences for people and society.

To commence with, today's competitive and hectic lifestyles require people to be more attentive than ever before. Today, people are constantly striving to meet their basic needs and achieve their goals, and as a result, they have less time to sleep. Less sleep is considered a virtue these days. For instance, the most famous personalities with amazing accomplishments, such as Mark Zuckerberg, take pride in shortening their hours of rest as the key to their success. Moreover, the computer age has surrounded us with a huge number of screens that strongly influence our conscious brain. Research has shown that blue light from computer screens, televisions and mobile phones wakes up the brain and keeps it awake.

On the other hand, this trend is a serious problem that negatively affects the well-being of communities. For example, fewer hours of sleep can cause fatigue, depression, loss of concentration, and many health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. All of these problems will ultimately lead to the weakening of low productivity societies. Thus, getting enough sleep is vital for people and nations.

To conclude, after examining why people sleep less and what problems it causes, it is hoped that governments around the world will launch educational campaigns to educate the public on the importance of proper sleep.
