Practically we all love to sleep in the morning, but in the evening to go to bed no hurry. In the material about the increase in sleep duration in adolescents we mentioned that young people of school age at night doing homework and sitting in social networks. Adult men, according to research published in the journal of General Psychology the results of the study do not want to go to bed early for fear of death. The fact that during sleep people are not conscious, but consciousness is, in fact, is life. Thus, many people unconsciously want to stay longer in awareness and therefore go to bed later than the others.
Subconsciously, people believe that spending less time on the dream, they live longer
But really, people spend in dreams a lot of time. According to statistics, depending on the duration of his life, every man is in dreams from 15 to 30 years. During sleep, people in addition to composing forces, practically not doing anything useful — so why not forgo sleep and not to do to improve your life? So probably thinking our brain, but putting the campaign to sleep the majority of people are simply wasting time. But later, going to sleep and on no sleep in the morning, they deprive your body extremely important for the life of leisure.
Why are people not getting enough sleep.
This conclusion was made by researchers who conducted a survey among 229 volunteers. In the course of scientific work, scientists found out how much the subjects are afraid of death and how well they sleep. Collecting leaves with the survey, the researchers noticed a close relationship between statements like “I am concerned about the inevitability of death” and “I go to bed later than we would like.” It is noteworthy that these same questions were answered predominantly male. Women probably fear death much less.
Fear of death is called thanatophobia
From all this we can conclude that afraid of death, men try to spend less time on sleep, and thus free up more time for life itself. But remember, a lot of you know people that are up at night doing something useful for your life? Probably not — most just runs into the kitchen to grab a snack or watching soap operas. So why it is better not to waste time on sleep and sleep to morning?
This is interesting: What if all the time to sleep?
Why there is no death?
To solve the problem with the fear of death is not so simple. Perhaps someone will calm the theory of the American scientist Robert Lanza that the people themselves have invented death, and it in fact does not exist. He is confident that we since childhood, identifying himself with his body, and therefore, we believe that if our heart and other organs will stop working, it will mean that we are dead and we no longer exist. In fact, it may be that after the heart stops, the mind of man continues to live and just moved to one of the many parallel realities.
The theory of Robert Lanza is very interesting, so I recommend to read about it in our special article.
However, late bedtimes can be explained not only by the fear of death, but also division of people into “owls” and “larks”. People from the first group prefer to get up early and to bed early, but the second — I stay up late and get up late. Let’s think together about why some of us in the evening not in a hurry to go to bed? Their observations to share in the comments or in our Telegram chat.
