Oh, FFS!

Fuck off! Seriously, go fuck yourselves and then throw yourselves off a very tall building if you have nothing better to do than this.

The government could give people guidance on how much sleep they need each night, according to reports.

A leaked draft of a public health green paper, due to be published by the health secretary, Matt Hancock, says the government will review the evidence on sleep and health. It suggests the minimum amount will vary depending on how old someone is, and the paper will give advice on “sleep hygiene”, according to the Times, which obtained the document.

It was reported the guidance was likely to state regularly getting less than seven hours’ sleep a night could damage most people’s health.

Jeebus! Let me type this slowly, so that you understand you morons. This is nothing to do with the government and it should bugger off and do something useful for once. Not least, given their serial incompetence with the stuff they are supposed to be doing. Christ almighty!

  1. As someone who has suffered from insomnia all my life, I was a nightmare child as wouldn’t go to sleep, I would love to know the answer.

    I sleep for an hour or two then wake up, I wander round the house in the middle of the night, read books, do crafts, listen to my dog snoring. I ended up getting a job working nights, might as well as I am awake. Also I am blessed with good health. Not had a sick day from work for about 4 years! So perhaps not so bad for your health surviving on less than 6 hours sleep a night.

    The only time I get really good sleep is during a storm so can the gov organise a storm every night for me. Sorry to the rest of you who can’t sleep during storms!

    • I seem to recall that Margaret Thatcher survived on very little sleep. The issue here though is that it is simply no business of the government.

  2. I haven’t had (anything like) 7 hours sleep for decades – who do I complain to? Surely I’m entitled to compensation….

  3. Presumably the next useless tome from the Ministry of Hancock will be guidance on how to wipe your own arse.

  4. So, presumably, since the health secretary has found time to come up with this nonsense, the National Health Service has been fully sorted out and is working efficiently and effectively.

    Personally I tend to need a lot of sleep, I tend to be an early riser which means that I tend to go to bed very early in the evening. I also second your comment that my effing bed time is none of his effing business.

  5. I suppose it’s the logical extension of the Nanny State; now it actually wants to tuck us all into bed early and put out the lights. And what, I wonder, will be the cost in man-hours (oops! ‘person-hours’) of this preposterous idea?

    Oh for a Golgafrinchan ‘B-Ark’!

    I’ll settle for them doing less if it will stop them interfering in my life (and charging me for the inconvenience of their efforts:.
