Margie, Jenn and Lilly played cards at a table and chairs in the hotel lobby. Lilly would not stop asking to see Tom. Margie left a few messages for Tara, but had yet to hear back from her. “Tara always returns phone calls. She’s worrying me,” Jenn said when Lilly left the table to retrieve a lollipop from the bowl on the front desk. Jenn sent a text, hoping it would be more successful than phone calls. “Maybe she’s meeting with a doctor.” “She’s with Brad. He won’t let anything happen to her.” “I don’t know that I trust him. He came out of nowhere and is now her new best friend. Doesn’t that strike you as odd?” Margie thought about it for a few moments. “He’s a friend of Tom’s and was driving when their accident occurred. He wants to help Tara.” “I don’t know Mom. I have an uneasy feeling in my chest.” “That’s jealousy. You’re not used to sharing Tara with anyone else.” Jenn glared at Margie. “That is the most ridiculous…” Her angry words cut off when Tara walked in, flanked by Brad and Charlotte. Both women rose from the table, their eyes wide with concern. If Charlot...
Getting sufficient sleep is a basic human need and is vital for life. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, sleep is a high priority for survival. Having enough sleep is therefore important to restore body and brain functions, preserve energy, maintain general well-being and prevent illnesses.
Sleep deprivation is increasingly recognized as a worldwide public health concern as researchers found that lack of sleep impairs human functioning[2]. The majority of individuals was found to be sleep deprived as they are forced to restrain their sleeping hours to compensate increasing working hours, especially individuals whose professions’ is in line with healthcare, security and transportation sectors as they are often required to be on duty even at night [1]. Regardless of whether the individual was totally or partially sleep deprived, it was proven that both had adverse effects on the human body[3]. Further studies revealed that sleep deprivation affected ones’ cognitive and motor performance as well as mood[2].

Many people in the United States, view poor sleep to be an individual's choice instead of an affliction. The number of sleep disorders that are present today is over the top. "Insomnia affects 10 to 15% of the general population and is the most prevalent sleep problem" (Wells, et al 235).

Sleep deprivation is a severe problem that can cause a variety of negative effects in everyday lives. Sleep is required for our survival and relied on for our mental and physical wellbeing. Because there is a greater awareness of the problems associated with sleep deprivation, our society is very fortunate to have the resources to seek the help that is needed.
In the United Kingdom alone, about one-third of the population is sleep deprived (Cho, n.d.). What more when it pertains to the world statistic? From different cultures and beliefs from around the world, people are bounded by an increasing commonality- sleep deprivation. Unfortunately, most of these cases are untreated. In present times, sleeping has been taken for granted to the point that millions are sleeping below the suggested amount. It is a growing concern as people who neglect the proper amount of sleep now start at a very early age. People assume that sleeping is simply a regenerative process in which hours of present sleep can be gained from hours lost.
Sleep is a reoccurring act that is part of our daily lives. It is one of the most important elements of human health. The natural state of sleep has been studied throughout the years of human evolution. It occurs when hormones are released throughout the body to make the individual begin to fall asleep. The importance of sleep is often overlooked amongst humans, leading to a disorder. There are problems that occur in the human body that are of higher importance and require more attention. Sleep disorders should be viewed as a priority to humans because it alters human health, presents as a precipitating factor for other health problems, and can be treated quickly.
After reading different articles and learning more about African American culture, it made me want to find out more about my own family culture. There are different traditions that are pasted down in generations, which could have been a part of African culture that we don’t realize such as parenting styles. I don’t remember hearing too many stories about my past relatives growing up, so I had to find out more on my family experiences in the south. Also, I wanted to see how spirituality played a roll in my family choices. My goal in this paper is to show how I got a better understanding of the reason my family could be structured the way it is now.
Lack of sleep can affect health and should be prevented before it is too late and before the disorders can increase.

The story behind sleep deprivation is controversial depending on how it is practiced, perceived, and where it is practiced. I believe that there are norms to follow according to exigencies from each country in the world if they have integrated the SD practice in their interrogatory procedures. It is said that prisoners are the properties of the state government; however, depriving prisoners for sleeping with intend to get something out of them is inculcating harm to their body which against the ethic code. For instance, interrogation will augment stress levels in the prisoner, augmenting the chances that interrogators might divulge important information (Alison, n.d.). It is alright if the prisoner’ state of health is not endangered.
Important public policy issues have arisen in our modern 24-hour society, where it is crucial to weigh the value of sleep versus wakefulness. Scientific knowledge about sleep is currently insufficient to resolve the political and academic debates raging about how much and when people should sleep. These issues affect almost everybody, from the shift worker to the international traveler, from the physician to the policy maker, from the anthropologist to the student preparing for an exam.
