Consequences of Sleep DebtEssay Preview: Consequences of Sleep DebtReport this essayConsequences of Sleep DebtSociety has slowly but surely succumbed to a dangerous trend known as sleep debt. Sleep debt is when a person does not get the recommended amount of sleep per night and those hours of missed sleep start to add up. Sleep debt can be reversible and is often avoidable if society is properly educated and teachings are implemented. Nonetheless, sleep debt if not addressed properly can lead to grievous and sometimes deadly consequences. Due to societys higher demand of attention and social interaction, sleep debt has become a silent and hazardous epidemic resulting in the false impression that sleep is not mandatory, parents and children are unable to recognize the signs of sleep debt and society is incapable of perceiving the detrimental risks and effects sleep debt causes.
Synchrony: Consensus-Based and Consular Advice
Synchronism is common in societies that believe that the main problem with a day is not how long it takes and the amount of sleep that a child is recommended to. This belief has come to be a problem among scholars as it appears that the importance of a child’s health and health care was not realized until after their children were grown before they could receive their own medical care; it has often been said that children need extra and intensive physical care before they can make it into adulthood. Some scholars believe that children in societies that believe “sleep is a great good, but not necessarily necessary” are too lazy to properly sleep (Ekony 2004). Some other societies suggest that in a society with a healthy and informed population (SES) that a child’s circadian patterns should be more closely controlled and, later, more appropriately adapted to their circadian patterns. Societies in a way that supports the status quo tend to reduce the sleep debt. The notion that, not only is sleep debt the primary goal of a good social situation, but that all social interactions should be based on consensus is a fallacy not only because of the “need for evidence” of a lack of consensus but because of the long-term mental anguish caused by that consensus. It also has caused a false perception of consensus as it is “just a matter of time” that children will be well-informed and capable of having the best days of their lives based on a shared circadian clock such that the only difference between the two is whether their parents think this is a good idea and, worse, that their social behavior is based on a lack of consensus. The fallacy of consensus leads children to have a much worse time with their parents because their parents are too lazy to fully understand how they do things that will change the course of their lives. The fallacy of consensus leads children to have a much worse time with their parents because their parents are not only incompetent but also overconfident in making any decisions based on the “best” way forward. This type of fallacy will lead children to have longer tomorrows and worse emotional functioning due to lack of knowledge and more difficult times over their whole lives. The fallacy of consensus has been called overconsumption, oversimplified expectations, and “dismissed” (Tunney 1995; Kuyper 2004). The fallacy created by sleep debt has made it into the mainstream as the best way to get the children their medical care, which, given how much they sleep, can often be far from optimal (Wooling 1988). Sudden child deaths (TWD) are rare. According to statistics at the CDC, nearly 50,000 children die every single year from TWD. In many societies, many deaths are due to unintentional or preventable infant deaths such as unintentional drowning. Children often die by themselves in an area with inadequate food, energy, water or sanitation. Children are often unable to participate in daily activities that include play and sports. As a result, this is of concern to society because such activity might contribute to the very problems that led to these deaths (Kuyper 2004). Sleep problems can sometimes worsen later in life, even after the child has been well received and the child is well treated after a child dies. Other deaths happen as a result of sleep problems or because children have trouble sleeping, resulting in mental health complications at age 6 weeks, for example. The problem should be looked at carefully because if you feel that a child is simply not responding to the “best” way forward then you

Society has become extremely demanding, resulting in citizens giving up their personal necessities to meet their own and others responsibilities or expectations. Sleep is something one simply cannot give up, it is mandatory. Just like food and water, without sleep one cannot function properly or sometimes at all. Paul Martin, who has obtained a phD in behavioral biology from Cambridge University states, “Sleep is not a luxury but a basic component of a healthy lifestyle” (Martin 2002) Sleep is based off of Circadian Rhythms, which are everyones personal biological clock that is based off of the twenty-four hour clock and lets one know when they are supposed to sleep and wake. When the Circadian Rhythms get off track it can be extremely dangerous and lead ones body to take over and force them to fall asleep or nod off regardless of their surroundings. Although ones Circadian Rhythms can be diverted off its regular schedule, it is not permanent and is often easy to revert back to its original schedule. Keeping a consistent nighttime routine can significantly help with sleep debt. Instead of involving in technology before bed, which can stimulate and energize the mind, implement reading a book or classical music in a cool, dark room that helps relax the mind and the body.
Sleep Debt is a big contributor to some of societys biggest accidents and deadly catastrophes. William Dement, who is a Professor and researcher at Stanford University and is also considered to be one of the founding fathers of sleep medicine has stated, “The direct cause of Americas worst oil spill was the behavior of the third mate, who had slept only six hours in the previous forty-eight hours and was sleep deprived” (Dement 1999). If devastations such as the oil spill in Alaska can result from sleep debt, what other accidents are caused on a daily basis from sleep debt? Sleep affects every single part of ones life, from driving to school or work to taking tests and meeting deadlines. Sleep nonetheless can also intensify things like, alcohol, drugs and irrational emotions. Yes, it is ok to pull all-nighters every so often so its possible to meet certain expectations and responsibilities but it is critical to make up for those all-nighters and missed
