By admin | July 14, 2008
Many of us don’t seem to realize the benefit of a good night’s sleep including myself. If I’m lucky, I occasionally get up to 8 hours of sleep. It’s almost impossible at this day and age for many of us to sleep 8 hours straight, there are just too many frigging things going on.

Many Americans average about 5-6 hours but it varies with the individual and their lifestyle. Some people require more sleep to function properly and others may not need as much to get through the day. Doctors say we should all get 8 hours of sleep but I’ve heard many doctors staying awake 30+ hours straight overlooking patients in the emergency room!
On average sleeping less than six hours a night can affect people’s reactions, coordination and judgment, posing serious risk to with regard to specific activities. It’s understandable that we live in a different day and age, a fast paced environment of running around in circles all day. Sadly, whether we like it or not, we need to change our lifestyle to accommodate sleep. Otherwise, we’ll slowly deteoriate into more of a retarded Americans than we are now.
