2. Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness,
relatively suspended sensory activity, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.[1] It is
distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and is
more easily reversible than being in hibernation or a coma. Sleep is a heightened anabolic
state, accentuating the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal and
muscular systems. It is observed in all mammals, all birds, and many reptiles,
amphibians, and fish.
The purposes and mechanisms of sleep are only partially clear and are the subject of
intense research.[2] Sleep is often thought to help conserve energy,[3][4] but decreases
metabolism only about 5–10%.[3][4] Hibernating animals need to sleep despite the
hypometabolism seen in hibernation, and must return from hypothermia to euthermia in
order to sleep, making sleeping "energetically expensive."[5]

3. The sleeping problem that I am trying to solve
Sleep is one of the most important need of any human being. It is said that if a person does not sleep
for a week then he will die.This happens because insomnia (not getting sleep) causes our body
mechanism to slow down gradually. It is an evident fact that all body parts need rest or slowing
down. This much needed break is provided by sleeping. If we don’t get ample sleep, then our body
parts will not get sufficient rest and this will lead to several malfunctioning and eventual death.
So it is very important for anybody and everybody to get a good amount of sleep. It is a necessity
instead of a luxury.

4. Harmful effects of not getting ample sleep
It is said that a stay normal , we need to have atleast 6-8 hours of sleep on a daily basis (minimum).Anything
less then this will lead to severe consequences like
Giddiness,
Disorientation,
Increased palpitation and heart beat,
Anxiety among key ailments.
Causes of inadequate sleep
We as team creativeEYE , intend to take one cause of inadequate sleep.
We intend to take the aspect of our emotional baggage and our daily workaholic work culture as a
reason/cause for getting inadequate sleep.
We have observed that no matter how healthy a person is (physically) , he will still be ill if his mind is not free
of negative thoughts or preoccupations. The same goes for sleep too.
Sleep to us is a body process which requires ones' mind to be at ease. it is only after one is at ease with his
mind, that he can get good sleep.

5. Why did we choose this cause of sleeping disorder?
We thought of reasons for mental disturbances and it came out prominently that the
emotions and our daily work culture keeps our mind pre occupied. it doesn't let us be at
peace.
So to us, the key reason for getting inadequate sleep is our current workaholic work
culture which brings a lots of emotional baggage on our mind.
