Are We Going To Be Hit Over The Head By Nanny State?

According to reports, most of us are not getting enough sleep and the government are going to treat the problem under the same category as obesity, smoking and drinking too much!

Apparently most people are not getting more than seven hours sleep and it affects our physical and mental health and reduces our life span. They say that apart from the health issues that your life can be shortened by as much as ten years for every hour under seven hours a night/day you sleep! So I'm going to die at least fifty years earlier than I should

To be fair (don't really know why I should bother to be fair ), they do qualify it a bit by saying that it may not apply to everyone.

How do they plan to get you to sleep more? Give you drugs? Come round and whack you over the head if you wake up early?

I suppose they could try some form of education about spending less time on social media or watching TV or playing on your computer (I'm doing this at 4.30 in the morning! ). How much is all this going to cost us?

Do you think you don't get enough sleep?
Does it affect your performance?
Does it affect your mental state?
Or does your mental state affect your sleep?

I'll kick off with saying that I average about two hours a night and don't sleep during the day. That's all I need and have been doing that quite happily since WWII.

Of course, just reading thisd might send you to sleep
