Who Can Sleep With the Crisis Today?
Read the papers or watch the news, you will see these things as the headlines:
- Recession
- Rising Prices
- War
- Economic Downturn
- Global Warming
Now if you were the naïve person in the world today, you would not care and simply go your way. All you want to do is to really live your life one day at a time and just try and make do with what you can. Apparently, this is no laughing matter. The world is getting a more hectic place to live in and for sure you will lose a lot of sleep over it.
We all know the value of health as well. We need to sleep and get rest to be able to perform all the things necessary for us to survive. But if we slack a bit, we may lose a lot of things on how we can survive these problems in life. In short, while you have to sleep, who can?
Not included in the list of issues we see today is sleep. Sleep apnea, insomnia and sleep disorders are all growing concerns. They may not be eye-popping issues today but one day they will surely will.
The funny thing is that they may come at a time when all these current events come to be resolved. Now you face a new threat that of which may be aimed towards your health.
Sleep deprivation has been linked with heart disease, obesity, chron ic infections, hypertension, depression . . . and death. It is patently not a good idea to work excessive hours with no sleep, but we are constantly told that, to be an effective, successful and notable individual, this is what we must do. All the evidence suggests that we will make less intelligent judgements without sleep - just as we would if we went for an extended period without, say, food or air - but the pressure is on to prove that we can function anyway.
