You Are Getting Sleeeepy

Yes, I was up at 4am this morning (Sunday). And I came across this.

Key Graphs:
"For starters, when you sacrifice sleep you also sacrifice your energy levels, sociability, efficiency, and emotional states.

"Dr. William Killgore from the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research says that when we lose out on sleep we have less emotional flexibility and we reduce our ability to make effective decisions.

"Further, researchers speculate that people who sleep less are more gain weight than those who enjoy a full night’s rest. EMedicine.com, says lack of sleep can even lead to increased risks of depression, anxiety, and motor vehicle crashes.

"Furthermore, studies have also linked loss of sleep to inflammation, which essentially means that your heart is in danger. Clearly, losing out on sleep is not something the average guy can afford to have happen on a regular basis."
Well that's just GREAT.
