Question 24: Phuong Th... all hours. We spend longer hours at work than we used to, and more time getting to work. 
Mobile phones and email allow us to stay in touch round the clock and late-night TV and the Internet tempt 
us away from our beds. When we need more time for work or pleasure, the easy solution is to sleep less. The 
average adult sleeps only 6.2 hours a night during the week, whereas research shows that most people need 
eight or even eight and a half hours' sleep to feel at their best. Nowadays, many people have got used to 
sleeping less than they need and they live in an almost permanent state of 'sleep debt'. 
Until the invention of the electric light in 1879 our daily cycle of sleep used to depend on the hours of 
daylight. People would get up with the sun and go to bed at nightfall. But nowadays our hours of sleep are

reduces our motivation and ability to work. This has serious implications for society in general. Doctors, for 
example, are often chronically sleep deprived, especially when they are on 'night call', and may get less than 
three hours' sleep. Lack of sleep can seriously impair their mood, judgment, and ability to take decisions. Tired 
engineers, in the early hours of the morning, made a series of mistakes with catastrophic results. On our 
roads and motorways lack of sleep kills thousands of people every year. Tests show that a tired driver can be 
just as dangerous as a drunken driver. However, driving when drunk is against the law but driving when 
exhausted isn't. As Paul Martin says, i
