People sleep less than before in many countries? Why do people sleep less? What effect does it have on an individual and on society?

    Sleep is a very vital part of human existence without which we cannot function optimally. Experts say that human adults need at least seven hours of sleep per night to live well. Nowadays, people sleep less because they need to cater for themselves and their families and

also

to pursue their dreams of a better life. As an individual, the effect of reduced sleep on our bodies is not only an increase in the likelihood of developing diseases that can cause significant morbidity and mortality but

also

the propensity to make mistakes. On the society at large, it reduces efficiency and productivity.   Since the dawn of industrialization, mankind has worked more and slept less. Quite a number of reasons account for
