A Third of Life
jorgitopm October 18th, 2007
I learned that humans spend a third of life sleeping. Is that my case? I am not really sure that I spend one third of my day asleep. In fact, I usually sleep less than four hours a night. I am just one more in this “sleep-sick society.” It is very true that our society has devalued the importance of sleep. What else can you expect from a society that spends most of its time seeking the fulfillment of its own ambitions that in anything else? What else can you say about a society where its people spend more time worried about tomorrow than living today? This is a fast society with a fast economy, to sleep less would imply that consequently the economy will also slow down. So, is it worth it? Yes, since “sleep”= “life”.
