With the Holidays fast approaching, guests and sleepovers are expected to spike up again. And for the hosts who want to make sure that they give their guests proper accommodations, a crisis may arise with the shortage of container ships as stressed by Home and Bedroom.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and normally some homes would have relatives and friends to sleepover. And to make sure that they do get the best sleep accommodations, extra beds can do the trick.

However with shipping companies idling their operations due to the recession, it looks like they have their work cut out for them. With mass purchases for beds expected to spike, delays may eventually cause some inconvenience on their end.

Surging shipments of furniture, electronics and clothes to the U.S. and Europe, coupled with capacity cuts by shipping lines, has caused as much as 15 percent of containers to be delayed in Busan this year. (Bloomberg).

There are a lot of people homeless these days and for sure, they are deprived of the proper sleeping habits mainly because they find themselves in strange places without the benefit of an ideal sleep setting.

For the fortunate people like us, we do not have the luxury of understanding such inconvenience. But this cause being made via the Fourth Annual Siouxland Sleep-Out at the Lewis and Clark Park on November 7 should help give us an idea of just how the people without homes manage to sleep despite such outdoor conditions.

There are around 21,000 homeless people in Iowa, according to Wood, and about 600 of them live in Siouxland. He said he expects those numbers to continue to grow due to flooding in eastern Iowa and the staggering economy.

“Poverty is the basic reason for homelessness, and certainly the poverty level increases as a result of the economy,” he said. “There’s got to be some trickle-down effect for that.”
