People today sleep less and less. What are causes of this? Do you think this is a positive development?

There have been ongoing debates regarding whether or not many

people

nowadays are experiencing a consistent lack of sleep.

This

essay will elaborate on the causes of

this

sleep behaviour and the reason why I disagree that it has a positive impact on

people

’s well-being.

To begin

with, there are various factors that contribute to an inadequate quantity of sleep.

Firstly

, an intense work schedule is responsible for chronic stress, which has allowed individuals to be at risk of having serious sleep problems including less quality of sleep and insomnia. Studies carried out by Cambridge University,

for example

, revealed that 70% of the working-age population has suffered from sleep disorders due to working long hours.

Secondly

, another cause that shortens sleep hours is behavioural lifestyle choices because many choose to be social drinkers and spend their nighttime

instead

of getting enough sleep. With regard to my point of view, I personally believe that

people

who sleep less than the amount required for regular sleep would have detrimental effects on their

health

such

as high blood pressure, heart attack, and obesity.

People

who barely sleep,

for example

, is potentially affected by the most serious

health

problem like heart failure,

however

; those who have adequate sleep are able to live long lives. From

this

perspective, it is evident that if they continued

this

harmful habit, they might face severe

health

issues that increased the level of uncertainty in their life expectancy. In conclusion,

although

it is undeniable that

people

sleep less than before

as a result

of overwork and lifestyle alternatives, I am of the opinion that sleep is increasingly recognized as an important contributor to

people

’s

health

and longevity.
