The busy and hectic urban lifestyle of UAE has pushed the personal time of people in to another level. The couples who are caught between the urban lifestyles have now have very less time for each other and that has led to many problems.
Couples caught in the throes of a hectic urban lifestyle, who are often too tired and wired, are facing the consequences of the lack of private time for each other.
While there are many lucky ones who seem unaffected by the stressors of life and create conditions for intimacy, sleep-deprived, harried, busy couples who find it difficult to unwind even for a few minutes, or hours and get little sleep are the ones who are bearing the brunt of it.
One in four Americans said they were too tired to enjoy intimacy frequently in a study by the National Sleep Foundation in 2010. Though there are no studies being done on this subject in the UAE, fertility experts say this is one of the reasons that can contribute to a delayed pregnancy.
One look at the kind of 7-11 urban lifestyle most couples lead today and it is easy to see why they are caught up in this syndrome.
Aries Avila (not his real name), 30, admits he is among this group.
He and his wife have been trying to conceive for an year now. But his lifestyle creates its own problems. The daily drive to work in Abu Dhabi from his residence in Bur Dubai has affected his ability to unwind and relax and devote time to his private time with his spouse.
His wife, Jane, 30, an accountant, has polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and is undergoing treatment for it.
Aries’ medical tests, are all normal, however.
Most of the time, they say, they are too tired at the end of the day.
Stress at work, says Jane, especially when her company conducts its monthly and year-end audits, has driven her hormones haywire.
The couple have been trying to have a baby for four years now and have been married for seven years.
For Yuri, the detrimental factors are financial insecurity, lack of regular and timely eating habits and a proper diet which are compounded by the lack of self-discipline.
Despite these constraints, however, Jasmine did get pregnant. Only, they had no knowledge of it till she had a miscarriage. That’s when they knew she had become pregnant. But it was too late.
The couple has not had any positive news since.
The stress of the workplace due to the urban lifestyle and the metal fatigue has made the couple of today, the sufferer. It is true that lifestyle of UAE has become very fast but the people should realize and take out time for themselves to avoid such problems.
