Safeenabanu: Sleep deprivation

I agree with the article on ‘Sleep deprivation can ruin your health’. As we all know, sleep is a necessity and without it our life cannot go on well or rather smoothly. As the environment around us is getting more and more competitive we tend to end our day later and later. Many people find that sleeping is a waste of time with many works under their belt to complete. So, they find no difference between day and night except for the sun and moon. However, they are completely wrong. The purpose of the existence of night is for human being to sleep. Both our body and mind need to take a break and rejuvenate itself for the new day ahead.

I myself am only able to get 7 or sometimes 6 hours of sleep most nights. This normally happens during school term whereby I have to wake up early to be ready for school. The cause of going to bed late is lack of discipline. For example, procrastinating school work and only start doing them at night. I am sure that this is not just happening to me but also to many students out there. From the article, it is stated that lack of sleep will eventually affect one’s health. Therefore, we need to change our lifestyle as soon as possible before it affects our health. As a saying goes, prevention is better than cure.

For a change, the first most important step is, as mention in the article, learn how to prioritize. Learning how to manage our time well will definitely help in solving our sleep deprivation problem. We need to learn when is the right time to do the right thing. For example, as students, we have to force ourselves to stop doing our school assignment at maybe latest 10 o’clock and go to bed. Whatever is left maybe could be done tomorrow morning when our mind fresh. In this way, we will be able to produce better quality work and obtain better results. For those who love to watch late night programs, its time to sacrifice a little.
