If you suffer from sleep deprivation:
- You cannot think straight.
- You are less able to make sense of problems, make competent moral judgments or retain what you learn.
- You become reckless, emotionally fragile, and more vulnerable to infections and to diabetes, heart disease and obesity, recent research suggests.
When you have enough sleep:
- It helps your brain sort, store and consolidate new memories, etching experiences more indelibly into the brain's biochemical archives.
- It can significantly improve your ability to master new motor skills and strengthen your memories of what you learn.
- It boosts your ability to make sense of new knowledge by allowing the brain to detect connections between things you learn.
The average human being who lives for 70 years spends 23 of them sleeping. Pace Productivity, reports that 19 years are spent working, 9 in leisure, 7 in travel, 6 in eating, 3 in illness, 2 in personal grooming and 1 in religious pursuits.
Do the math and get adequate sleep!
