Sleep deprived- choice or necessity?

Sometimes, I think about it.
Like I'm sure all of us tend to as well.
Why is it that SLEEP is at the bottom of our priority list?


A day has 24 hours, and each of those hours can be used in many ways- work/ leisure/play.
Yet what we tend to do( more often than not) is to extend those waking hours to way more than what can be 'naturally manged'
For we think that sleep will just somehow.....happen.(of its own accord?)

Because if not watchingTV,then we can always remain online,and of course,all our friends worldwide live in different time zones,so it seems to make complete sense.


And so it goes on, day after day, month after month, year after year.
While we continue to get more and more sleep deprived,
or then as someone recently said,"leaner and meaner"(in sleep terms)

Until......
