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

It is true that sleeping

time

for both adults and youngsters is shrinking. In my point of view, they are several reasons causing

this

problem, which is definitely negative.

First

, working people nowadays are imposed more and more work that they could not reject because of the fiercely competitive society. They are supposed to spend most of their energy and

time

on their jobs without reasonable

rest

, family

time

or vacation.

This

working style obviously will decrease their

time

for deep

rest

and sleep. Another factor causing adults to sleep less is that they may be controlled by some electronic gadgets

such

as mobile phones and computers. They are indulging in playing games or browsing online day and night.

Second

, students have less sleep

time

due to much more homework assigned by schools. In order to obtain outstanding fame for schools, teachers are usually very strict with the adolescents’ study. They teach a lot in class while children may need extra

time

to finish their homework in order to fully understand it, which will take up most of their leisure

time

.

On the other hand

, teenagers are more likely to be distracted by current electronic products than adults, leading to less sleep. In my opinion, less sleep

time

is really a setback, because it is greatly harmful to health. Without adequate

rest

, people can not concentrate well on their job or study.

Thus

, they must contribute more

time

on working or studying. Eventually, the bad cycle will bring diseases, ruining the immune system. In conclusion, people should not sacrifice their

rest

time

for working, learning or playing games, because they will get sick from insufficient sleeping.
