Sleep deprivation among essay writers

Sleep deprivation is something common only among writers who work for academic writing companies. The people who own those companies run slave camps, not offices. They could care less if a writer goes a week without sleep, or if they woke the writers in the middle of the night. Starting out, I found myself having to pull all night jobs at least twice a week. That is, excluding the midnight phone calls to please work on a paper because the client really wants me to work on it. Little did I know that was all a lie. The client did not know me and the only reason they woke me was because the paper was being passed around, hoping to find a writer. Anyway, I would say that I would lose about 3 days worth of sleep a week at the most. I heard that we never recover from lost sleep. Let's hope that we all do not pay for the abuse we received and accepted from these companies in the future.

Actually, sleep deprivation is epidemic throughout American life and it's been formally identified as a cause of myriad illnesses and it is responsible for even more traffic accidents than alcohol. I haven't written a project for an essay company since 2013 but I'm sleep-deprived right now and about to go to bed at 9:00 AM because I had 2 deadlines yesterday, a weight workout after that, a hockey game at 9:30, and another deadline that I just completed. I'll have made up all of that lost sleep by Sunday or Monday. It's an easy enough topic to research and a very quick Google search yields some of the numbers right here:

Negative. Be very skeptical about anything you just "hear" because most of it isn't true. For example, it isn't true that we use only 10% of our brains or that Albert Einstein suggested that the complexity of the human eye provides evidence of a "god" who designed us. We use all of our brains and Einstein was an atheist who absolutely rejected ANY notion of a conscious "god" that created human beings to be any more "special" than other animals and whose only concept of any "god" was the mystery, eternity, mathematical symmetry, and beauty of the universe; and I "hear" both of those beliefs all of the time from people who sincerely believe them because they've "heard" them. We always recover lost sleep, eventually; it's a homeostatic process. As soon as whatever causes that interfered with your getting as much sleep as you needed in a given time period are removed, you will automatically begin catching up and you will quickly make up whatever "sleep debt" you accumulated. A very quick search yields the following articles about sleep-deprivation debt and making it up.

Sleep deprivation was a real problem for academic writers during the time when academic writing was still solely done by humans and the order list per writer required them to sacrifice both personal and sleep time to meet the deadlines they were given. It reached a point where writers would work 4 days or 5 days straight, then sleep for 2 days straight. Which was not healthy for the writers who began to develop gastrointestinal issues because they would rather sleep than eat. I suffer from GERD because of the insane hours that I kept as an academic writer at the time so I am speaking from experience and I know the true cost of high work quality and delivering client expectations. It comes at the cost of personal health.
