      The article “Can’t sleep? Perhaps you’re overtired” written by Joanna Moorhead is devoted to the discussion of the problem of insomnia. Nowadays this problem becomes common among the adults. First, the author draws the readers' attention to a fact that people do not have enough breaks during the day as they used to do and their brain keeps on going all day and night. When we have some free-time we try to fill it using our gadgets. 

Vik Veer is an ear, nose and throat consultant says that he often faces with people whose problems connect with sleep issues, including overtiredness. He emphasizes that people at the age of thirty and fortysomethings are more tend to have such problems. Even when they fall into bed at night, they decide to do some things that seem to make them happy, like watching a popular TV-programme. But the truth is they do not. They just keep their mind busy and make him to be overloaded. How can we avoid overtiredness? Veer recommends reduce the amount of coffee in the second half of the day and spend more time outdoors. Ramlakhan, the author of The Little Book of Sleep, says we should drink more water, go to bed earlier at least three nights a week and try to have more healthy relationship with our technology. 

Finally, the author concludes that we don’t know how to say no to being “always on” – and overtiredness is one of the many consequences.
