Why Do Hospitals Hate Sleep So Much?
I'll push this one step further: why is our entire society built around the idea that sleep literally doesn't matter?- Elementary school starting so early all the kids are half asleep in class.- College + Sleep? Not gonna happen.- 24 hour construction in certain part of NYC, check!- Most cities quiet hours are very precisely 8 hours. Hope your days start at 6:30/7:00 and you're falling asleep precisely at 11pm, and all your neighbors do the same!- Having attention deficit? Lets start with ADHD medecine, not with a sleep study, no sir.- Bazillion jobs requiring on call, waking people up at all manner of time, as a standard thing.- Neighbors woke you up? Toughen up bro!- Myth around how so many people apparently can do just fine on 5 hours of sleep.The hospital thing is just a symptom of a society built around lack of respect for sleep. No one seems to consider it an important thing. If you're drowsy because you couldn't sleep, it's considered a minor inconvenience and little more.
