Western civilization = sleep deprivation contd.:

Humans are already losing shut-eye in warm environments, especially at the beginning of the night. Models predict a solid sleep will further decrease as temperatures rise, especially in lower-income and elderly communities.
...
They estimate people are already losing an average of 44 hours of sleep per year - and as the warming continues, people will be hard-pressed to find a good night's rest.

Nights have warmed faster than daytime temperatures in many places around the globe. By 2100, individuals worldwide could lose about 50 to 58 hours of sleep per year.
...
Hotter temperatures "harm our sleep kind of across the board but that relationship increases in steepness. It becomes more significant in size the hotter the temperature gets."

We often take sleep for granted, but not getting enough shut-eye can increase our risk for many serious health issues such as poor mental health, obesity, heart problems or even early death.
...
"When we're not meeting these sleep health targets, a lot of things start to go wrong," said Robbins, who was not involved in the study. "With more than just a night or two, this can become pretty problematic pretty quickly, putting stress on our vital organs, increasing risk for adverse outcomes and chronic conditions."

In the comments, Westerners offer their Western 'solution' to the problem which is actually the very thing making the problem worse:

We have something called air conditioning, you may have heard of it

Quote
Ever heard of this great invention they call air conditioning?

Quote
Window ac $150, freestanding ac maybe $300.  Put in bedroom even if no central ac and sleep very well.  One more idiotic article.

Quote
I mean there is a cool invention called air conditioning

Quote
Turn on the AC and shut your mouth.

Thinking Westerners can be reasoned with is even more stupid than thinking air conditioners can cool the world.
