Sleep Deprivation & Touring Music Artists

Abstract

Abstract

The lack of sleep has become an epidemic today among the millennial generation, specifically among touring music artists. It’s mostly due to the high levels of stress these artists face in the industry. It is the constant burden of producing high-quality music and staying “in” and relevant, not to mention social media promotion, extensive travel and long hours of work. This all leads to the underlying issue of extreme sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can have drastic effects on your physical, mental and emotional health. In this regard, this paper discusses the various aspects related to sleep deprivation associated with the general public with a special focus on touring music artists, as well as my personal experience as an artist myself and my senior capstone project.
