Sleep & Rest

In the last class we talked about our sleeping habits in many different cultures, we had some differences but in general it was very similar, we like to sleep in average 7-9 hours, also there are similar factors that can make it difficult to conceal sleep such as anxiety, noises, study and work.

I think sleep is really important basically because if you don’t sleep properly during your life, you’re going to die early, poor sleep quality can lead to heart disease, diabetes, mental illness and among other terrible outcomes for your health, something I didn’t understand from the documentary is that japanese people sleep less than 5 hours per day but they use weekends to recover this time so they stay healthy? You can recover sleep hours in weekends and be healthy like it’s maths?

And about the japanese schedule, I think it’s to wild; even if they’re allegedly healthy they should prioritize sleep above studies or part time job, if it’s not a life-death matter then just sleep. Japan has many positive things to live peacefully, on the other hand in my country there’s a lot of poor people that can’t sleep because they don’t know what their families are going to eat tomorrow, or we suffer from anxiety.

Anyways, after the video I realized maybe this works for japanese people afterall, they fall asleep during classes but they finish their routines in a good way, they earn their money and they have a bright future ahead, it’s just a matter of perspective and facts, me personally I need to sleep so much!
