How beneficial is sleep?

I think in order to maintain a healthy life sleep is a necessity. If you are not receiving enough sleep, you need to figure out how to get more. There are a few reasons that contribute to people having sleep disorders such as: insomnia, sleep hygiene, and snoring while sleep. Insomnia for instance is a chronic sleep deprivation that can cause errors at work. It also impairs reaction reflexes and concentration. Lack of sleep can cause a bad temper and crankiness. Also sleep can be a disorder resulting from physical, mental, or emotional abuse that prevents someone from getting a good night’s sleep. A person with a sleeping disorder may need to seek professional help for a better understanding of their condition. If sleep problems are left untreated the results could make life very difficult, can lead to serious health complications, and even death. Snoring can be a sign of more severe breathing disorders. In addition, getting less than six hours of sleep every night could increase the risk of dying and diabetes. As a result I believe people should do their best to get between six to nine hours of sleep every night for optimum health that increase their life span, even though some people can function off of three to five hours of sleep which is not good in the long run for their health. Therefore, it is the autonomy of the individual to do what they need to do to improve their health.
