“Catastrophic Sleep-Loss Epidemic”

September 24th, 2017

Via: Independent:

A â€œcatastrophic sleep-loss epidemicâ€� is causing a host of potentially fatal diseases, a leading expert has said.

In an interview with the Guardian, Professor Matthew Walker, director of the Centre for Human Sleep Science at the University of California, Berkeley, said that sleep deprivation affected â€œevery aspect of our biologyâ€� and was widespread in modern society.

And yet the problem was not being taken seriously by politicians and employers, with a desire to get a decent nightâ€™s sleep often stigmatised as a sign of laziness, he said.

Electric lights, television and computer screens, longer commutes, the blurring of the line between work and personal time, and a host of other aspects of modern life have contributed to sleep deprivation, which is defined as less than seven hours a night.

But this has been linked to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimerâ€™s disease, obesity and poor mental health among other health problems. In short, a lack of sleep is killing us.

Of course this article doesn’t list the biggest cause of all, namely the negative spiritual energy in which our vaunted modern society is awash. Oh, but that’s just a delusion and the only things that exist are the electromagnetic spectrum and physical matter! Feh.
