Consider a cell phone that you used all day and whose charge is nearly finished. You will plug the phone into its charger and charge it so that you can use it again. We are like a phone that needs to be charged at night through sleep in order to function properly. If you do not plug in the cell phone, it will turn off and you will be unable to use it.
If we don’t get sufficient rest, we become the same. Our productivity and vitality suffer, and we are unable to complete tasks and live our lives as we would like. Not only does your productivity suffer;
Sleep deprivation (insufficient sleep) can:
1- Weaken the digestion system so you won’t be able to digest food properly.
2- Affect your appetite
3- Make your immune system less resistant. So you may get sick easily
4- Poor concentration and focus
5- Affect your mood and energy
6- Prevent you from thinking positively and efficiently.
7- Make you less productive and lazy
8- Make you appear less attractive
9- Causes hormonal imbalance
10- Harder to cope with stress
11- Causes irritability and short temper
12- Sleep deprivation ages you quicker
