We all know that sleep is good for us. Unfortunately, many people still sleep lesser than they need. I know many people who rather stay up surfing the web or just stay awake rather than sleeping. The next day, they begin to curse the alarm clock. Seems that knowing the benefits of sleep is not enough. People need to know what will happen if they don't get enough sleep.
Sleep deprivation makes you a slow-learner - Sleep consolidates memory. During sleep, neurons are reorganized and the strength of the neuron connections is changed. What is learned during the day is assimilated into the long-term memory. You remember less when you sleep less.
Sleep deprivation makes you dim-witted - Since sleep restores energy, lack of energy and recovery during the day results in a low-focus, blurry state. You can still think but the chances of making flawed decisions is higher. Sleeping less is like going for a workout again without proper recovery.
Sleep deprivations gives you bad temper - Lack of sleep makes you emotional. Deep emotional centers of the brain were approximately 60% more reactive when you're sleep deprived, therefore you judge according to what you feel. This results in a low emotional intelligence and more stress on the brain.
Even Einstein sleeps 10 hours a day. Leonardo da Vinci himself proclaims that 'sometimes geniuses accomplish more when they work less". So not why set an early sleep schedule today?
