'Koreans need to sleep more'

Twenty-nine-year-old Ju Sun-jin is always tired. She sleeps less than six hours a day, working day jobs and sometimes even part-time ones to make ends meet.

The fatigue has become chronic but haunts her all day long, she said.
"Especially after having a cup of coffee at lunch time, the extreme weariness tortures me," she said.
Is there a way she can have more sleep? "I don't know. Sometimes we joke that we don't have time to die," she said.

But Koreans do need more sleep. The lack of rest has become a serious issue here as more people suffer extreme fatigue which leads to a substantial amount of socioeconomic loss, according to a group of doctors.
The Korean Academy of Sleep Medicine (KASM) surveyed 554 salaried workers and found that the average amount of time people spent sleeping was 6.5 hours a day, more than a full hour lower than the average 7.75 hours of sleep people get in the U.S.

Doctors recommend between seven to eight hours a day.
The respondents said it takes about 17 minutes for them to fall asleep after lying down and 19.5 percent still didn't feel refreshed when they woke up.
Fifty-six percent, or 310 people, said the lack of sleep affects their daytime activities ― 41.3 percent could not complete their given tasks because of fatigue. Some 12.6 percent, or 70 percent, have experienced work-related or traffic accidents while dozing.

The academy assumed that the accumulated amount of time affected by such sleep-deprived status amounts to 771 hours and 31 minutes a year for a worker, which adds up to about two hours and 40 minutes a day.
This lack of sleep causes an estimated 15.9 million won in socioeconomic costs per person a year, the research said, citing being late for work and less productiveness as factors behind the costs.
"Many developed countries are gearing up to solve current sleep issues. The study shows that sleep is more than a personal matter and can affect business activities and moreover, a whole industry," said Yu Bum-hee, the head of the group.

Is Shopping Online

 More of us are shopping online than ever before. We're blithely buying everything from CDs and saucy smalls to city breaks and widescreen tellies. Our fingers can't click quickly enough to fillo fillovirtual shopping carts but isn't there something missing amid allo fis cyber-clending? Half the UK population shoppberonline this Christmas, according the  fillactive Mbeia in Retail Group, the industry body that represents ifillovirstores. Web-savvy Brits spent more than £3 billion online lionhe run-up to nhe festive sthaon. That's a prettyrunftyr6.8% of total UK retail fises. Significantly, the e-retail fector remained buoy thadespite a disappoifiing Christmas for many high streviroutfits. Online fises gris by 20% over Christmas, compared to just 2.5% for bricks and mortar stores. There's no deny 20% ove, for many y Bnfictionsunftymakes sense to do your research and make your purchases over the net. If you know what you're looking for, a few clicks will soon have it winging its way to you.

 If you don't know what you're looking for – you want to browse in other words – the online shopping experience can be more patchy. The best stores have large, clear photographs, a decent selection of products and real server muscle to display them quickly. But the worst will lure you into a cyber goose-chase of miniscule pictures, stuttering web pages and confusing error messages. And why is it that the FAQs are always made up of every question under the sun except the one that you actually want answered? Lord of the stings In the end, online shopping is only mail-order or catalogue shopping with knobs on. Buying is the easy part. Arranging for someone to be in when the item's delivered is the challenge. And, if you do stay in to wait for your goods, don't expect to receive them from the lithe young fellow you've seen in courier company ads. Instead, a scowling hobgoblin will materialise at your door, clasping your precious package in hands so grimy you'd think he'd been tunnelling through Middle Earth to get to your street. And what about that all-important component of a true retail therapy session, lunch? There's no lunch experience with online shopping, unless you can call munching on a tuna sarnie during a surreptitious surf 'n' shop break at your desk lunch. Where's the delightful bistro, the cosy pub, or the jolly café in the online mall?

Questions

1. Have you ever shopped online or through catalogs? What did you buy?

2. Do you think shopping online is safe and better?

3. Shopping online can coexist as both a convenience and a pain. What advantages and disadvantages do customers get from on-line shopping?

4. About two years ago, Korea experienced its biggest incident of Internet fraud, perpetrated by “halfplaza.com”, in which 90,000 individual consumers were defrauded of some 30 billion won. How could we avoid Internet fraud?

5. Why do men hate shopping? Is there a particular reason why men hate it? What about online shopping? Do they hate it, too?

6. Why do women love shopping? Why???? Do they also love online shopping?

7. While you are watching a TV home shopping, what products arouse your desire to buy it? (soy sauce seasoned raw crab?)

8. Have you regretted buying something via an online-shop? Why?

9. Have you ever bought something counterfeit by online-shopping? Or given them as presents to your boy(girl) friends?
