Sleep

Sleep is a very crucial part of our everyday health that I am sure most people lack of. People lack a lot of the amount of sleep due to working, doing homework, raising kids, etc. 

Adults and teens should sleep every night for an amount of at least 8 hours. However, most adults and teens do not sleep for at least 8 hours and instead I hear some teens and adults only get 5 hours or even less than that. I myself am one of those teens who only sleeps 5 hours or less sometimes.

When people have a lack of sleep it is not good for their body and with a lack of sleep, their immune system gets weaker. When their immune system gets weaker they are more prone to getting sick, like catching the flu, than a person who sleeps at least an amount of 8 hours every night. If those people who sleep so little every night get sick, then their body will not be able to function as better as it needs to during the day when they have so many things to do.

To solve this problem of having a lack of sleep, I propose that there should be sleep pods in every high school and job facility. Sleep pods are basically improvised beds that you can just use anytime you want.

With sleeping pods, the number of people who lack a number of about 8 hours of sleep everyday will greatly decrease. More sleep also decreases the chances of one getting sick because of their immune system weakening due to the lack of sleep. 

When people have more sleep they obviously have more energy that they need for their everyday lives. For example, parents will have more energy that they need when they have to take care of their children because raising a child is not easy business to deal with. Another example is that students will not have to stay up all night to finish their assignments, study for tests, and anything really that has to do with school.

With sleeping pods, it will change many peoples' lives for the better because they would not have the lack of sleep that they used to have. People do not understand how important sleep is until they get sick or faint or really any health related issue that is caused by a lack of sleep for many nights. Sleeping is hard to maintain for most teens and adults and this is due to the work or assignments or taking care of a child (or children).

Sleeping should be maintained and not underestimated. However, it is okay to stay up all night a couple of times if that person has to complete many tasks those days. As long as you make up the amount of sleep you lost,  your body will have the amount of energy it needs throughout the day.
