Whether single- or...Paul Martin - a behavioural 
biologist - describes a society which is just too busy to sleep and which does not give sleeping the importance it 
deserves. 
Modern society has invented reasons not to sleep. We are now a 24/7 society where shops and services 
must be available 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 
mainly determined by our working hours (or our social life) and most people are woken up artificially by an 
alarm clock. During the day caffeine, the world's most popular drug, helps to keep us awake. 75% of the 
world's population habitually consume caffeine, which up to a point masks the symptoms of sleep deprivation. 
What does a chronic lack of sleep do to us? As well as making us irritable and unhappy as humans, it also 
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
