Answer
1. What will happen to people when they lack sleep?
if people are regularly missing sleep, you are headed for a host of health and behavioral problems. Besides the fatigue, you can experience memory loss, irritability, difficulty concentrating, and a general lack of energy. The costs of drowsiness on the job or while driving are tremendous.
2. Why do you think more people these days tend to lack their sleep?
Generally,the stress in everyday life causing sleep problems. your stress response is being activated by feelings of fear or anxiousness. For example, you or a loved one may be having a health problem, there are difficulties at work, you may be having a relationship problem with family or friends, or you may be having financial difficulties. Your brain senses these anxious feelings that you take to bed with you, it activates the stress response and causes adrenaline to be released into your system, which prevents your natural sleep cycle from working effectively. The stress response and the sleep response are opposite reactions in the body.
3. How sleep helps people to keep their health?
Sleep allows the body to do the work of healing wounds, maintaining all the inner organs, and keeping skin refreshed. Skin care experts say that getting enough sleep is one of the main strategies for healthy, young-looking skin. Sleep also allows the mind to rest and to unburden itself of all the worries accumulated during the day. It also allows us to dream, which is vitally important for our well-being. Dreaming is traditionally associated with the deepest sleep, REM sleep, which studies show is the most refreshing and satisfying sleep, allowing us to deeply relax and wake up at our mental and physical peak.
4. Why do people sleep?
If you ask about the mechanism of falling asleep: it is not entirely understood. Some parts of your brain work by regularly stimulating and inhibiting each other. This produces a daily cycle of activity. Some structures are responsible for inhibiting those responsible for arousal. You get drowsy and the brain goes into a different mode of action: optimizing memory storage. After the work is done, your arousal center gets stimulated again and "get up and go" hormones enter the bloodstream. You are ready for a new day.
