Where did you get it? I tried to buy one online, but no luck so far.
Ah well, I can always keep saving for two more months and emigrate to Australia
Sleep is good. Somehow it just seems more appropriate to do it while it's dark out, and be active when it's light enough outside to see things. It's not my fault you live on the wrong side of the Earth.wolram said:When they are asleep, why is that some of you can not stay awake, PFs sort of dies just because you lot want to sleep, is it not true that America is 24/7.

According to recent studies, Americans have an average sleep duration of 6.8 hours per night, which is slightly lower than the recommended 7-9 hours. However, this does not necessarily mean that Americans are more sleep-deprived than people in other countries. Sleep patterns and habits vary among individuals and can be influenced by cultural, social, and economic factors.
The use of technology, specifically electronic devices, has been linked to disrupted sleep patterns and decreased sleep quality. However, it is important to note that technology is just one of many factors that can contribute to sleep deprivation. Other factors such as work schedules, stress, and lifestyle choices also play a role in Americans' sleep habits.
Sleep deprivation can have negative impacts on physical and mental health. Chronic lack of sleep has been linked to an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. It can also impair cognitive function, memory, and decision-making abilities, leading to decreased productivity and safety concerns.
American culture values productivity and success, often leading to a mindset of "sleep when you're dead." This mentality, combined with a fast-paced and 24/7 work culture, can encourage people to sacrifice sleep for work or other activities. Additionally, societal pressures and expectations may contribute to stress and anxiety, making it difficult for individuals to wind down and get a good night's sleep.
There are several steps that can be taken to improve Americans' sleep habits. These include creating a consistent sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and electronics before bedtime, practicing relaxation techniques, and creating a comfortable sleep environment. It is also important for individuals to prioritize their sleep and make it a priority for their overall health and well-being.
