Tiredness - sleep or the lack of it

Prior to the Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb the average American slept for 10 hours a night, the average now is less than 8 hours. Why is this; we live in a culture where sleeping is considered to be at best a luxury and at worst a sign of weakness

A lack of sleep can have wide ranging negative effects on your health and can increase your risk of:
