Global warming has deprived people of sleep: an average of 8 hours of sleep a year




Global warming is having a direct effect on our sleep. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have found that the average person's annual sleep has decreased by 8 hours due to rising temperatures. This finding was based on a sleep tracking device.
The average annual sleep of a 21st century man is 20 hours. That means today's man gets an average of eight hours of sleep a day, but now the annual sleep is slowly declining. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, after studying data from a sleep-tracking device, concluded that a person's average annual sleep is reduced by 3 hours today. This is the name of the factor responsible for sleep deprivation - global warming.
If a person believes that global warming is not going to have a direct effect on his home then it is a mistake. The effects of global warming have reached the bedroom. According to the report, the average night temperature is one degree higher than last century. In other words, the night feels warmer than it was two decades ago. Its effect is beginning to fall on all people's sleep. The greatest impact is on the sleep of children and the elderly. Earlier people used to fall asleep early. In comparison, the onset of sleep is delayed due to heat. There is no deep sleep after sunrise in the morning. In addition, the number of hours of sleep decreases.
Researchers have even suggested that the annual average for sleep will decline over the next decade or two. This means that instead of 8 hours of sleep per year, 20 hours of sleep will be reduced. The report also warns that sleep deprivation can have serious consequences for the human body as sleep has a direct effect on overall health.
