Too Much Junk Sleep Costs A Lot
Just when you think that the sight of a sleeping person is something to envy from, it would be best to consider the quality of sleep that he or she is getting. Ideally, we all know that great sleep comes from no vice at all meaning nothing in mind and nothing to distract us. With the mounting pressures of crisis and gadgets sprawled anywhere, it would be interesting to note how people can rate their sleep and diagnose if it is indeed true or shallow sleep.
This is apparent today for most people. We fail to define the essence of true sleep. Some of us feel that we are sleeping comfortably but at the back of our minds, we may just be telling that to ourselves. There are too many distractions and these will surely be realized in the long run.
And even people who appear to be fast asleep in bed aren’t sleeping properly. Fifteen million of us have been diagnosed as having “junk sleep” - the poor quality slumber that is apparently the result of too much work and having a bedroom filled with TVs, computers and BlackBerrys.
At a recent conference on insomnia at the Wellcome Trust, sleep experts argued that what has really changed is not so much our sleep, but our attitude to it. We worry about how much - or little - we’re getting in a way that we never used to.
