Why do you think people in general sleep less now than before? Do you think the pace of modern life may be bad for us?

Nowadays people are more likely to suffer from stress due to modern lifestyle leading to sleep disorders such as sleep debt but, what other effects has stress in our lives?

First of all, modern lifestyle is marked by stress and hurries which affect negatively on our health and may cause psychological and physical diseases such as depression and cronical exhaustion. One of the well known consequences of stress is sleep debt which is marked by mental and physical fatigue. This might be caused because of demands of work, social activities and this makes us sleep less than in the old days. I think this could be fixed by predeterminating a schedule and by making people more organized so they would sleep more. Modern life makes things easier for us but it is also hastier and an example of modern life and hurries are fast food restaurants which nowadays are succesfull but they weren't in the past.

To sum up, modern life is marked by stress and we are more likely to suffer from sleep debt  and other diseases derived from stress.
