Sleep Deprivation



Do we have a reason to deprive sleeping?  Is it a bad habit that we adapt as life moves so quickly? Meanwhile, there are people who study or work and they dont sleep enough; we sleep a few hours in order to stand during the day. Sleeping 8 hours is recommended by the specialists, but are we really sleeping those hours? But the question is if it really affects us the fact that we don’t sleep enough? So there are certain factors related to sleeping’s such as benefits, problems, and recommendations we must take into account
When people study and work every day, they usually forget that sleeping eight hours is a need for their body.  Sleeping eight hours is recommended by the doctors. In addition to that, it is very healthy to sleep that quantity of hours. This will help our mood is good when we get up and so do our routine activities in the best way and with the encouragement needed to make our day a happy day
However, there are many people who don’t follow this advice because they have some lack of time. This is a problem because people can suffer from diseases that deteriorate their health. The lack of sleeping could have different repercussions such as tireness and concentration problems. According to the specialists, if a person does not sleep eight hours, she/he could be working perfectly, which is not healthy for their mind. Also, being alert affected during the day.
There are many theories that prove that sleeping a short time is harmless for the mind and its functions.  One of them states that we need to sleep because our nervous system and the body in general, need to recover from the wear that occurs in daily activity, which is very logical, but also we have to get some rest to keep on working as usual. Nevertheless, there is another theory that affirms that when we sleep, we are recovering energy, which helps us react to any sudden event as fast as possible. Sleeping eight hours is necessary to be able to face this kind of problem. (Huneker, 2001)

What is really true is that we must sleep when our bodies require it. Also, we must take into account that sleep deprivation can be harmful to any person. For these reasons, it is important to consider that we have to sleep well all the time that we can.  We must also get involved performing a routine where you exercise, eat healthy, have a healthy social life where we should share not only with friends but also with the loved ones we love for these in trouble give us a hug filled hope so we can deliver stress overwhelms us unable to sleep well at times.(Carroll,1995)
