increasing pressure, are putting a strain on many aspects of life. From work to
our relationships. The state of a person's productivity is not the same as has
been observed. Even people who had a strict daily routine and used to be early

has become relatively rampant. This is no help to the present crisis of quality
sleep and quality health, and it
looks like it will only be getting worse. To fight this, one has to take firm
steps towards having a strict sense of daily routine.
