As an avid reader about health topics, I’ve learned quite a bit about the impact of skimping on sleep. Sleep deprivation can seriously mess with your whole body, not just your brain. Did you know it actually makes you more prone to infections? Yeah, because it weakens your immune system. Plus, it’s linked to heavier stuff like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. I try to make sure I’m getting at least 7 to 8 hours because messing up your sleep schedule can really knock you off balance!
