USED TO, BE USED TO, GET USED TO

People used to sleep longer than people today, they went to bed earlier
and woke up with the sun. This is because there was no electricity or
lightbulbs to pass the time in the dark. Today people go to bed later and
wake up later. On the other hand I think people used to work all day with
no breaks from down to dusk, because they didn't have other things to
do. Now we work less, but we also have more to do, for example: yoga
classes, studying languages, browsing social media, writing a blog,
reading a book, watching a movie. People wasn't used to such activities
before. If I have to choose I prefer to live now than 100 years ago. I don't
agree with calling us sleep-deprived society. Sleep for me it's really
important and for all my friends and family too. We sleep at least 7-8
hours per day, doctors say that is the perfect amount of time. Also, I
don't drink coffee or energy drinks, but I see that problem everywhere:
people without a coffee are dead, and that's the real problem.
