Saturday 28 September 2019 11:39 AM
 
Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Russia have benefited from recent attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities due to difficulties the company faces in providing high-quality crude to Asian traders who have turned to other markets, the Wall Street Journal reported.
 
Although the company's production reached almost the same rate before the attacks, according to Saudi officials, Aramco is unable to deliver all production to global markets. Aramco executives said that "part of the company's current production can not be purified And set it up for refining or export because some processing units have not been repaired yet. "
 
"Oil production is one thing, and processing it for sale is another," said a company executive.
Oil traders said that "some Indian refiners have moved to buy Russian crude (Ural blend) instead of Saudi crude." But "the first winner," the newspaper said, is the United Arab Emirates.
 
"A Norwegian tanker was heading to Ras Tanura in the Kingdom before it rerouted last week to the UAE port of Fujairah to ship 2 million barrels of crude," said Samah Ahmed, senior crude oil analyst at Kpler Commodity Data.
 
Data show that "in the last two weeks, after the attacks, shipments of Russian and UAE crude transported by sea increased by 100,000 barrels per day according to the analysis company ClipperData." Kpler said that "Iraq's exports increased by 31 thousand barrels per day in the past 10 days." .

Mr. Ammar al-Hakim calls on the Electoral Commission to draw up strict regulations to exclude sectarian lists

The head of the National Wisdom Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, said on Saturday that Iraqi women are waiting for big and important roles, but they are not yet active, noting that it is regrettable that the Minister of Health is subjected to pressures and harassment by mafia corruption.
Speaking at a conference against violence against women held in Baghdad today, Mr. Hakim said:
I am pleased and honored to address you and my women, especially my country, and the women of the world in general on the Islamic Day against Violence against Women, which marks the anniversary of the entry of Sabaya al-Rasul (women and children) to the Levant, to record the clearest certificates of abuse and violence perpetrated against the sons of Prophets in human history, the late Aziz of Iraq, Mr. Abdul Aziz al-Hakim {Jerusalem}.
He called for the first day of zero to be considered as an Islamic day against violence against women, and the cabinet approved it.
We adopt in our curriculum a clear space for women, and this adoption integrates thought and application, as we seek to establish a fair place for women in society, commensurate with their legitimate and humanitarian commitments, where complementarity in the roles between men and women and full humanitarian partnership, and the difference between them remains limited to the nature of the tasks assigned to each, It builds on the principle of differentiation rather than discrimination, and the multiplicity of roles and tasks and not the preference of some over the other. The human honor of women in the Islamic vision reaches a level that makes them a soul derived from the same man, says Ezz of saying (It is one of his verses to create from yourselves couples to live and make between you affection and mercy).
Here the Creator (Jalla Ola) explains to the human society that this creature of one soul is the real container of human and social compassion and compassion.Therefore our vision of life and the role of women in it proceeds. We do not believe in the theory of fairness that women are half of society, but we believe in the theory of integration between Because without women there is no society at all, it is the whole society, because it represents half of society and contributes to the existence of the other half, and without it does not achieve the continuity, balance and wonderful dualism that the Creator placed before his creatures. The Almighty said (and from everything we created a couple you may remember).
From this Islamic understanding, our vision is to determine the place of women in society, which is the open vision of Islam that places women in their natural position.
Emphasis is placed on her delicate human nature, and women are the same as men in human training. She shares with him humanity and its obligations and rights, and differentiates it from femininity and its obligations and rights. Therefore, she needs to trust herself and her faith in what she does and the role she plays. Putting her in front of her in constructive enrichment and serious contribution to the proper upbringing and dedication of sound values ​​and norms in behavior and practice, the basis of frustration for women arises from the ambiguity of goals and the lack of clarity and the vibration of self-confidence and being a long history of injustice and marginalization. Hence the essence of the original Islamic curriculum is to focus on giving appropriate and distinctive space for women, through feminist symbols affecting all major articular events in the life of mankind, we find participation, integration and bilateral clearly in all these stations,
If we say Moses (AS), there is Asia Bint Muzahim wife of Pharaoh, and if we say Jesus (AS) then there is the Virgin Mary peace be upon them, and if we say the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) we find next to him the mother of the faithful Khadija, and if we say Ali {P} we find him next And, if we say Hussein (p) find alongside Hawra Zainab peace be upon them all, this symbolism of women was not only a social or humanistic dualism, but was symbolic complementary and participation in the curriculum and the project and goals, and confined the difference in the means and roles. This is our approach and vision for the role and status of women, and this is the sound Islamic vision and away from ignorance and distortion. Islam, in its proper and correct reading, relied in its societal construction on women as a basic social pillar and institution of society, and did not treat them as a secondary or additional element,
It has been entrusted with an important and sensitive role in building society, in its missionary, nodal and human dimension, and it is qualified to perform its tasks, from the society and its institutions to the state, to its roles in political and executive life.
Iraqi women await important and important roles, but unfortunately they are not yet active, and despite the democratic atmosphere in the political process in our country, but the inadequate view of the right of women is still prevalent in many quarters, and even within political currents, dealing with the reality of women confined to The concept of parliamentary quota and the exploitation of its existence as a guaranteed parliamentary number!, Which indicates the level of shortcomings in the political view of women and their role and space, and we are still crammed by our narrow traditional perceptions.
Our Islamic vision and political approach strongly support the idea of ​​establishing a society based on the existence of women according to standards that prevent them from overriding their privacy as a woman, mother, nanny and wife. Iraqi women have opened to them all human and social spheres and all positions of responsibility, and the Constitution remains the preserver and guarantor of their rights, but remains deficient in protecting them. Taking into account their privacy and safeguarding their rights unless supported by a set of legislations, executive controls and the main legal instruments. The concept of violence against women is not limited to the cruel physical practice of beatings, assault or moral humiliation, but also includes the prohibition of the rights imposed by God Almighty for women, and if the beatings, physical assault and moral violence represents a barbaric form of dealing between humans, may harm and harm Direct on the victim.
The denial of rights undoubtedly affects negatively and significantly in society and prevents it from progress and integration, which is rejected by Islam, and rejected by all humanitarian norms and positive laws.
We call for a national campaign to conduct a census for women. Rights need knowledge, and knowledge needs to be counted. I call on civil society organizations interested in women's affairs to take the initiative and carry out this campaign, and to help government agencies suffering from obstructive routine procedures and not paying attention to political sensitivities. Which may hinder any project whose purpose is to inform the community of the reality of the situation. We live in a country that is in dire need of developing its human being before any other development. A society cannot grow in which women are bound, broken and confiscated in their rights.
One might say that the challenges are great and the priorities are many, and that women's issues are not a priority, but we say that they are the first priorities, because we firmly believe that building a good citizen starts from building conscious women, and that the consolidation of the concept of citizenship starts from the consolidation of the concept of social justice, and social justice will not be achieved Only in fairness to women, because they are the basic pillar of society.
The biggest role of women is the upbringing of generations on the psychological and national level. Plant them the love of the homeland and introduce them to the beauties of Iraq. The homeland needs them. We desperately need generations to love their homeland, its people, its history, dream and think and seek to change what is for the better. School and community.
The greatest danger is that we will lose other generations because of frustration or weak national sentiment. The most promising generations and the young Iraqi spare will make the difference and the desired future without them we have to expect miracles.
Our country has gone through severe security, economic, political, cultural and social crises for decades and has been overcome only by family and community cohesion. We must maintain this advantage in order to overcome the remaining pain and wounds towards a secure, stable and prosperous future.
The rise in divorce rates, according to official statistics, is an imminent threat to our historical Iraqi strengths in our family cohesion, and we must always remember that we have overcome many more crises than we are going through with our solidarity, familiarity and collective steadfastness.
The government still suffers from a clear weakness in its construction after nearly a year of its formation in terms of the completion of the ministerial cabinet and in terms of its cohesion and effectiveness, the Ministry of Education is still vacant and health joined by the resignation of the minister, which was not the first of its kind. It is regrettable that a minister of this size in the Iraqi government announced that he was subjected to pressures and harassment of corruption mafias rampant in one of the most important service sectors that have a direct impact on the citizen and this passes unnoticed and limited reactions.
It was expected that the resignation of the Minister of Health would be a resounding shock moving stagnant water in the government and not end with an open minded leave!
We call on the government to comply fully with the government program presented and approved by the House of Representatives
We stress the need to begin to dismantle the corruption mafias that are rampant in the service sectors as a top priority and concentrated because of their direct prejudice to the lives of citizens.
We also reiterate our condemnation and condemnation of the use of violence in dispersing the peaceful demonstration of the graduates in Baghdad, a dangerous step that is incompatible with democratic behavior.
(We suppress the elite Nakba) We hold the competent government bodies responsible for the protection of the demonstrators and call on them to develop solutions and logical solutions to their demands and declare our solidarity with our people in their legitimate demands and their concerns and daily suffering.
What we have noticed recently is the use of committees, cells, and secondary or silhouette figures by the Iraqi government
They replace many government institutions and ministries in terms of decisions, follow-up and implementation, and we believe that this is dangerous in the medium and long term.
The first priority of the government is to reform, strengthen and evaluate government institutions, not to neglect, bypass or replace them.And what is happening is a dangerous indication of the government's inability to manage, grab, and resort to dwarfing files and random distribution of powers instead of overcoming problems and dismantling crises according to clear contexts and tight plans.
Attention to all Iraqi provinces in a fair and balanced manner is the right basis for the government to move away from bias, politicization and courtesy.
We renew our call to pay attention to the liberated areas and liberated areas of Kurdistan and central and southern Iraq in a balanced manner and the provinces of Iraq as a whole in a clear and thoughtful context.
Everyone should feel that he is a first class citizen in this country and we must not accept any new layers that affect social justice.
The rising tone of sectarianism, regionalism, nationalism and auctions with the approaching date of provincial council elections is a dangerous phenomenon that must struggle as long as we are at the beginning of the electoral process.
We will stand in the national wisdom trend firmly against any attempt of sectarian or national escalation aimed at hitting the national unity for transient and fleeting gains. The unity of Iraq and the Iraqis was preserved through the great sacrifices made by the sons of Iraq from all sects, religions and nationalities, and everyone should consider this unit a red line that cannot be touched.
I call on the Electoral Commission to draw up strict regulations to exclude candidates and lists based on sectarian and ethnic tone and other electoral project to win votes at the expense of the blood of Iraqis and their flesh.
The internal and external economic indicators indicate that Iraq is facing a large fiscal deficit and accumulated debts and mismanagement and is still proceeding in unilateral rent and monopoly government. The service and urban renaissance of major economic policy needs to address these complex and accumulated crises, which amount to the level of strangulation and slow killing Iraq .. While we welcome the opening of Iraq to major global economies warn against resorting to large investments without clear financial cover to pay, exposing the future of Iraqi generations To danger and pawns national wealth
It risks Iraqi sovereignty ... We also call for balanced international economic relations.
We hope to see in the near future an independent, stable and prosperous Iraq that achieves the interests of its citizens and provides them with services and guarantees them rights and care and attention, and we hope that Iraqi women will see more security, opportunities and roles at all levels.

9-29-2019   Newshound Guru Breitling  ...the best numbers I can come up with and I've said this before, you're talking .51, .52, .53 cents. That makes sense because when you look at the gas [oil?] prices and you look at their budget that they have to maintain and then you look at what markets that they're in to cover all that you need  at least .52, .53 cents.  Think of it as almost as the same budget as Brazil.  Because Brazil's currency is about 1/2 of the United States.  I don't know what it is right now but it used to be back in the day [1 Brazilian Real = .24 USD] You can compare the budgets and see what they're doing...
9-28-2019   Intel Guru Delta   ...looks like the demonstration [Scheduled for Tuesday October 1st] is going to be the hugest one ever in Iraq.  It's all over social media...they are talking about it like a revolutionary one...you remember what happened with Egypt...revolution.  This one might be the same thing...this is very very big.  This is no joke around it.  They have to do something for those citizens...there might be more than 5, 6 maybe 10 million people all over.  Every city every province...this is definitely good for us.  Hopefully this will make the government and the Central Bank do something to move forward so the citizens can do something...everything is very sensitive for the government.  We know the CBI is ready...they have to move forward before it's too late...

9-28-2019   Newshound Guru Jeff   ...Our current status right now...don't forget the numbers that they're discussing for the 2020 budget include monies for Articles 140 and the HCL.  This 2020 budget has post rate change monies in it...we're looking good.  They're moving forward at the same pace they have throughout this entire year.  Continuing to reach agreement.  Continue to set the stage.  Reaching stability and everything that the CBI is seeking for the rate change.  So things are progressing.  Looking pretty good.
..

9-28-2019   Intel Guru Frank26
  ...China in fact it's so big.  I'll tell you what, this is going to explode the Iraqi dinar. It is so big...I'm serious.  
What it's going to do to the value of the Iraqi Dinar is amazing...

9-28-2019   Newshound Guru Breitling
    [Question:  You said all along that they want to get the dinar to a buck then after this time maybe more.  Do you mean RI at a dollar or RI  much lower and have it slowly rise to a dollar?]   Not an RI. A "Reinstatement" is a reinstatement of an earlier value. That doesn't mean anything anyways...You went all the way from $3.25 all the way down to a tenth of a penny.    So pick a rate...what's the original value?  There's no set of rules.  They want to REVALUE the currency.  They never said they want to reinstate...If there are any articles out there talking about reinstating their currency it never once came from the CBI...They clearly said they'll start off and get it to a buck.  Whatever it is, they want to get it to a buck.  Don't worry about the "RI".
 
9-28-2019   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   I cannot see any reason the CBI would make a move before the end of the year. Banking reforms still need to be done,  laws still need to be passed, investors need to come and set up business and there is a criticle vote Oct 24 on the CBI governor...If we're lucky and Iraq succeeds in launching a market economy around the first of the year, and we see the significant transition built into the budget for 2020, then we should see the Central Bank move off the peg and begin to float the currency next year. But time will tell.

9-28-2019   Newshound Guru chattels
   Article:  "Financial expert Safwan Qusay said that the process of economic reform in Iraq needs to adopt a new approach to combat corruption."   Increasingly my thinking is that Iraq just has too many problems for our liquidity event to happen. Lack of security, instability and corruption remain constant companions for Iraq.  But, who knows?

9-28-2019   Intel Guru Frank26   ...something happened about three months ago...XE converter...why would you take the rate down of the Iraqi dinar? ...We found two more areas of interest that deal with the Iraqi dinar and they're saying the same thing.  So that's three we have.  That's a pattern we want to pay attention to ...I think it's because it's the right time to do that...I think this pattern being broken is related to our investment...
 
9-28-2019 Newshound Guru Kaperoni ...technically we were very close 6-7 years ago under Shabibi...Shabibi clearly prepared, held the dinar within 2% for 14 months or so and announced he was ready to move forward. As well the World Bank launched an extensive campaign on behalf of the CBI to inform citizens. For whatever the reasons, Maliki stopped him. Everyone is aware of that.

Abdel-Mahdi is considering the assignment of Saadi to Amera and a new decision within hours

12:01 - 28/09/2019
Special- Mawazine News
Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi is considering referring the commander of the anti-terrorism forces, Abdel Wahab al-Saadi, to the country, a source familiar with the situation said Friday.
The source said in an interview with (Mawazine News) that "the transfer of Saadi to the matter is being studied by Abdul-Mahdi and will be issued later in the coming hours."
Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi ordered the transfer of the commander of the Iraqi counter-terrorism forces, Lieutenant General Abdul Wahab al-Saadi, to the Ministry of Defense.
It is noteworthy that Abdul-Wahab al-Saadi was one of the most prominent leaders who participated in the battles against the terrorist organization "Daesh" and enjoys great popularity.

The opening of the Iraqi crossing on the Syrian border next Monday

Reuters ALAA AL-MARJANI
Al - Qa'im crossing on the Iraqi-Syrian border
BAGHDAD: Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has agreed to open the Al-Qaim border crossing with Syria on Monday, the official Iraqi border crossing agency said.
"Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi agreed to open the outlet of Al-Qaim border with Syria next Monday, 30 September," Al-Sumeriya quoted Al-Din al-Qaisi as saying.
A source familiar with "Alsumaria" that "the opening of the port will be in front of goods and travelers."
Al-Qaim crossing in Anbar province, western Iraq, was liberated from ISIS in November 2017. The reopening of the crossing has been postponed several times because it has not been rehabilitated.

Sources: Abdul Mahdi did not mediate to meet with the son of Salman and Rouhani in Baghdad
28/09/2019 Kalkamsh Press / Baghdad
Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, during his surprise visit to Saudi Arabia, offered a mediation proposal between Saudi Arabia and Iran. .
The sources explain the return of Iraq to the idea of ​​mediation, after failing about two months ago when adopted by Iraqi President Barham Saleh, that the conditions were different, as the rapid decline of the region towards the possibilities of confrontation, is a major concern in Baghdad. There was no confirmed information about Abdul-Mahdi's communication with Tehran to test its pulse on mediation before heading to Riyadh, but observers believe that if the Iraqi movement succeeds in Saudi Arabia, it will succeed in Iran inevitably.
The sources confirm that "the Iraqi Prime Minister is moving optimistically", hoping to end the state of anxiety that dominates Baghdad. Iraq found itself facing international accusations that its territory could be used to attack Saudi energy platforms on September 14, raising tensions in Baghdad.
For a moment, after the attack on Saudi facilities, many in Baghdad thought the response might include Iraq, but the storm appeared to have passed.
Those close to Abdul-Mahdi say that the Iraqi prime minister believes that waiting for the outbreak of the war is not an appropriate option at the moment, so it affects the move, although there are no guarantees for the success of his efforts. According to Iraqi media, Abdul-Mahdi will invite Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to a meeting in Baghdad, but Iraqi foreign sources currently rule out this scenario, preferring to talk about the possibility of organizing a diplomatic meeting between representatives of Tehran and Riyadh.
Abdul-Hadi al-Mahuder, media officer in Abdul-Mahdi's office, said that the Iraqi prime minister's visit to Saudi Arabia “once again gave Iraq the opportunity to be the most prominent player of calm in the region and the only one with relations with all its political regimes and opposition. In Syria, Yemen and the Gulf, pointing out that the role currently played by Iraq "adored by Europe, which is very afraid of war, understood by America and welcomed by Iran and Saudi Arabia alike."
"The region today has reached a crossroads between taking the decision of war or the decision of peace," he said. War is not the answer and the war and what after the war? ”.
"All the data indicate that the time for maneuvers and threats is over. Those who want war are open and the justifications are ready. "We are now waiting for the decision of war or peace to be launched. The choice of peace is difficult and bitter as well, but the lesser evil evokes those who have realized the evil of total war.

Iraq has clearly stated they need $80 billion dollars to accomplish this.

Yet, to say that 40 trillion in IQD is suddenly worth 40 trillion USD on the foreign (or domestic) exchange can't happen either. Even the US only possesses about a 3.3 trillion USD money supply (M0) of late. The truth, I believe, will be a happy medium between the extremes of an overnight revaluation on the one hand, and a long-term crawl on the other, to find its true, happy equilibrium.

Al-Baghdadi's mysterious messages in his recent speech to ISIS operatives

He described the downturn of his organization as a "test of God" ... and international reports confirm that he has major health problems
28 Sep, 2019
* Researcher in the affairs of terrorist groups: Baghdadi tried to attract the Islamic currents to his project ... And his inflammatory speech addressed the conscience of jihadists to urge them to storm prisons and carry out a series of assassinations
* Member of the Egyptian National Council for Combating Terrorism: Al-Baghdadi's recent voice message is the main objective of which aims to raise the morale of his followers ...
* Former Egyptian Assistant Minister of Interior: an expression of the failure that befell them after their defeat
* President of the Arab Center: The letter confirms that ISIS is actually closer to the end
Cairo:
A few days ago, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State terrorist organization, came out with an audio recording confirming that the organization still exists and that the period of deflation is only a test from God, as he described it.
Al-Baghdadi, who came out of international reports confirming that he suffers from a disease and major health problems, weeks after the publication of reports that he chose his successor to lead the terrorist organization, the latest report published by the Iraqi News Agency, which addressed a statement on the Supreme Judicial Council in Iraq confirming these rumors.
Salah al-Din Hassan, a researcher in the affairs of terrorist groups, says that in his last recording, al-Baghdadi carried religious content, but originally an inflammatory religious discourse, explaining that al-Baghdadi used the language of the jihadists to inflame and incite them to incite prisons and even carry out a series of assassinations. That affect judges, officers, and interrogators, who are related to prisoners of his organization.
The researcher in the affairs of jihadist groups that the leader of the terrorist organization Daesh in his speech tried to attract Islamic currents to his project, and renew the call to them, through
Convincing them that peaceful means of change will not work so that Baghdadi's speech tends to focus on "advocacy" and the importance of attracting elements, which comes in importance before, not after, fighting.
For his part, Brigadier Khaled Okasha, a member of the Egyptian National Council for Combating Terrorism, said that al-Baghdadi's latest voice message was aimed only at raising the morale of his followers during the current period, stressing that it has no realistic significance. Its members, especially since it did not offer anything new in their demands from them, as it shows the disintegration of the organization and defeat after using a tone of refraction contrary to what was happening in his previous speeches.
Major General Mohamed Nour, the former Egyptian deputy interior minister, said that ISIS could not do any of the threats announced in the speech of its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, especially if he could do so before he announced it to everyone.
The former assistant interior minister added that what the leaders of ISIS are doing is an expression of their failure after their defeat in all the battles they have fought, adding that we should not shed light on such messages so as not to achieve what they want to publish their messages. The leader of ISIS is a warning to the media to spread terror in their hearts through a desperate attempt to stay away from spreading the crimes that ISIS does.
Dr. Mohammed Sadiq Ismail, head of the Arab Center for Strategic and Political Studies, said that al-Baghdadi's speech comes after a series of defeats suffered by ISIS in Syria and before Iraq, which means that ISIS actually became closer to the end, and that it no longer exists as it was, Confirms that its losses in the last period shattered the organization in a big way.
He added that the terrorist organization is trying after all the losses suffered by the last period to revive itself by declaring after every attack witnessed by European countries in the recent period of responsibility for these attacks, pointing out that in practice they are considered as individual attacks, and belong to the series «solo wolves» It has been declared before, and so ISIS cannot conduct a collective operation, nor engage in a regular war, but conduct individual operations that do not require much economic or material potential.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State terrorist organization, broadcast an audio recording of him through what is known as the "Furqan Foundation," the media arm of the terrorist organization, on the Internet took about 30 minutes, calling on its members not to leave their weapons and confront those described as «apostates and infidels “Everywhere, he also talked about Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, America, Russia and Syria.
Baghdadi, who announced a $ 25 million prize from the United States, did not appear for anyone who has been helping with information leading to his arrest since July 2014. During the sermon at the al-Nuri mosque in Mosul, he announced the "establishment of a caliphate."
The letter comes amid speculation about the fate of Baghdadi after his organization lost most of the areas he controlled in Iraq and Syria.
Al-Baghdadi, according to the audio recording, called on his followers of the terrorist organization to "take actions" and mentioned "delegations" of new recruits, although it is unclear whether it means recruiting recruits to join ISIS or pledging allegiance to the armed group, warning that " "The burden will be heavier."

Phototherapy paves the way for the treatment of insomnia .. And hours of sleep longer
2019/26 15:26

A phototherapy technique can help young people sleep an extra 45 minutes per night, according to a medical study in the United States.

According to the study published by Stanford University, the medical method combines phototherapy and so-called cognitive-behavioral therapy.

"Our bodies tend to remain alert during the hours before sleep," said Jimmy Zetzer, the latest study participant. "What our team did was wondered whether the biological clock could be modified."

The doctors relied on what is known as the "treatment of radioactive light," and the idea is that we can adjust the sleep hour, when exposed to radioactive light during the morning.

Every 20 seconds, the sleeper flashes the spotlight during the two hours preceding the wake-up time.

Researchers say this effect occurs in the body, changing the biological clock by exposing the sleeping person to flashes of light before he wakes up.

The study shows that the advantage in these light rays is that they are invisible, and therefore, do not lead to awakening the sleeping person.

A number of adolescents were subjected to this experience, and reported noticeably feeling sleepy early in the night, which made them go to sleep and get longer rest.

The study comes amid growing concerns about the lack of sleep of children and adolescents, whether due to busy or the high demand for electronic devices and Internet use during the night.

Health experts say people who do not sleep long enough are at greater risk of serious health disorders such as high blood pressure, a weak immune system and heart attacks, as well as disturbed moods, loss of balance and decreased libido.
