1. What kind of people lack sleep?

I think the most common type of people to lack sleep are students. Students are notoriously tired individuals who do not get enough sleep. This is primarily because of all the time they spend studying. Their classes often start very early in the mornings so they must wake up at the crack of dawn. Yet, they also have loads of reading and studying to do so they must stay up late into the night.

2. Why do people feel tired a lot nowadays?

I think people feel tired a lot nowadays because people are very busy in the modem world. There is so much that needs to be done and so little time in the day. We all have to work jobs, possibly study, make sure we eat well and find some time for socialising and recreation. Often this means that we do not have enough time to get a good nights sleep each day. Therefore, people feel tired a lot of the time.

3. How do people keep awake when they are tired?

The most common and effective method to staying awake when you are tired is to drink coffee. Coffee is a drink with a high caffeine content which keeps people awake and alert even when they are tired. There are coffee shops and cafes all over towns and cities so it is a drink which people can get easily and cheaply. This makes it the most common method for people to stay awake. There are some people who feel they cannot properly start their day until they have a cup of coffee.

4. What occasions do people need to keep awake even though they feel tired?

The two must likely occasions that people need to keep awake even though they feel tired is when they are in class or if they are in a meeting at work. These are often early in the morning and people can be very tired, but it is important that they stay awake. There is a lot of important information shared during classes and meetings for which people must be alert if they want to remember it properly.
