<5 hours of sleep + 4 Days in a row

People who sleep six or less hours per night have more heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and depression.  It also decreases testosterone and growth hormone production, which can lead to osteoporosis and muscle wasting.

Just one night of low sleep can reduce your immune function.

In fact, getting less than 5 hours of sleep for 4 nights in a row can disrupt your blood glucose.  Continuous sleep loss could kick you into pre-diabetes. 

If you are choosing to sleep less than 7 hours of sleep, evaluate if the reasons are avoidable or not. Of course, there are circumstances that sometimes don't offer us a choice about getting better sleep.  But if the reasons for missing sleep are avoidable, are they important enough for you to continue making that choice? Is it more important than feeling healthy and having energy?
