The Nature of Things

The Sleep Famine (40x8)

Data de estreia: Jan 24, 1999

A nuclear power plant whether Chernobyl or this one near Toronto, is not a place you want run by people who are half asleep. But from all over, from surgeons, police, parents, you hear the same complaint -- they're tired. They can't get enough sleep. It's been called a sleep famine. Part of the price we pay for a non-stop 24 hour a day lifestyle. Life goes on around the clock. And in our 24 hour a day, seven day a week society, one of the major victims has been sleep.
