Title:
Correlation of Sleep Deprivation and Man-Made Accidents

Word Count:
684

Summary:
The articles is about the dangers posed by sleeplessness. Sleep deprivation not only causes physical and emotional disturbances, but can also result to poor judgment, lack of concentration, and reduced reflexes. The slow down of a person's mental acuity and physical movement can cause minor mishaps, fatal accidents, and major disasters.


Keywords:
car accident, sleeping pill, over the counter sleeping pill, side effects of sleeping pill


Article Body:
How much impact does sleep deprivation make on a person's mind and body? A little drowsiness at the office...a millisecond of mental shut-down as you drive down the highway? The facts glaringly bear out the dangers of losing sleep. Some of the worst industrial disasters recorded in history --- the Chernoby Nuclear Disaster and the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill --- all happened because someone who was supposed to be wide awake and alert allegedly fell asleep on the job.

In 1986, a flawed nuclear reactor design led to a stem explosion and fire that released at least five percent of the radioactive reactor core. The radioactive fumes flowed into the atmosphere and left a total of 54 fatalities, almost 20 years after the incident. The radioactivity caused people to get sick and die painfully slow from the effects of exposure to the nuclear fumes. While officially, the records show that it was a mechanical failure that caused the steam explosion, many attribute the tragedy to poor training, lack of safety measures, and the poor concetration of a sleepy worker at the nuclear plant.

Three years after Chernobyl, another major disaster occurred that has again put the lack of sleep as center of the blame. In 1989, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez struck a reef and spilled approximately 11 million gallons of oil into the sea. At the time of the accident, the captain of the ship was in his stateroom --- leaving a ship officer and a seaman on the control. According to reports, the two men on the bridge were apparently tired and sleepy and, thus, momentarily lost their concentration while maneuvering the tanker. Exxon,the company that owned the tanker, spent around $3 Billion to finance the oil clean-up operations and to settle damages incurred by fishing companies that operated in the site of the accident.

Sleep deprivation also causes other relatively smaller scale incidents, like a car accident, which is, by no means, less tragic. Sleeping while behind the wheel is the culprit for the 13 percent rise in highway road accidents in the United States. According to studies made on road accidents, one in thirteen drivers regularly felt drowsy while driving a car on a busy highway. It does not take much to be in a road mishap. Even if a driver closes his eyes for a millisecond, that is enough for him to unintentionally swerve the vehicle to the opposite lane and cause a head-on collission. Based on records by the World Health Organization, at least 1.2 million people die each year on the road due to a car accident.

So, how can we prevent accidents due to sleep deprivation? The answer is as simple as this: people should get enough sleep. Studies show that the amount of sleep needed by an individual is influenced by genetics. While some people feel fine with just five hours of sleep a night, most doctors and health experts prescribe at least eight hours of sleep. While the number of hours of sleep time somehow decreases with age, it is clear that lack of sleep makes a person lose concentration which could have disastrous consequences.

People who are under extreme stress or those who suffer from insomnia need additional help in getting sleep. For many years, millions of people have turned to the sleeping pill to find quick relief from sleeping disorders like insomnia. Over the counter sleeping pills are among the most bought pharmaceutical products today, especially in highly industrialized Western countries. These sedatives help a person experience relaxation which eventually leads to sleep. Still, users of the drug are strongly cautioned about the side effects of sleeping pill use which include slurred speech, slow reflexes, and poor judgment.

Accidents happen unexpectedly, without any warning. Perhaps, there is close to nothing that we can do to totally prevent minor mishaps and large-scale tragedies from happening. Still, ensuring that we get enough sleep may be a good start. Failing to get enough rest at night not only disrupts our body processes and reduces our mental capabilities, it can even lead to the fatal incidents that could possibly lead to the sleep of death.

BONUS : Dealing with Sleep Apnea

Whatever the type of sleep apnea is, it certainly could be serious eventually. There could be other problems or ailments caused by continuous suffering from this sleeping disorder. By getting an appropriate and effective treatment, you surely could also improve the overall quality of your life. Treatment could help improve your overall sleeping habit and relieve your daytime tiredness.

If you could curtail the problem, you could also prevent development or onset of heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other health concerns. There are many other ways to deal effectively with sleep apnea so it would not hamper your overall quality of life.

Be watchful about your overall health care needs. It would be appropriate if you would always set appointments to follow up your condition with your doctor. You need to make sure your treatment is truly working. You should advise your doctor immediately if you are having problems or discomfort in continuing the treatment. This is most especially true if you are not very comfortable using mouthpieces and breathing devices like continuous positive way pressure or CPAP. Such a device should constantly be adjusted to fit your size and specifications. You may also not be totally comfortable with it like most other people.

From now on, intend to control your overall weight. It has been noted that sleep apnea is more likely to appear in people with excessive weight or obesity. Some studies also suggest that losing even the slightest amount of weight could bring about significant improvement in snoring and sleep apnea problems. If you are still not overweight, strive harder not to gain weight to the level that is excessive. Remember that body weight could eliminate or worsen sleep apnea, so you better control it to your advantage. Try losing weight as an alternative way of treating sleep apnea.

Be honest to yourself and strive much harder to know more about possible effects of sleep apnea to your daily activities. The condition could prompt your body to release stress hormones during sleep, which could trigger your body to adopt the flight or fight response, and in the process make you worn out.

This is the reason why no matter how long you sleep, if you are suffering from sleep apnea, you would always feel deprived of quality and adequate sleep. Particularly be careful when driving or when operating special heavy machineries in your workplace if you are sleepy.

If you are set to undergo any form of surgical procedure (for other body conditions or ailments), do not fail to tell your surgeon that you are suffering from sleep apnea. This is to give them time and idea about how they could take several other additional steps that would make your airway passage keeping open even during surgery. You would be induced to sleep during operations, so expect several disruptions and abnormal breathing or heartbeat patterns, which might be inappropriately taken or read by the surgical team.

Most of the time, people are now aware that they have sleep apnea. Family members, bed partners, and roommates certainly could be of great help. If you have a family member who shows signs and symptoms of the condition, immediately call his attention but in a calm and casual manner.

You should also start encouraging the person to quickly seek medical help. Emotional support is also very necessary.
