It’s world sleep day!
Not something that’s celebrated in our house. Reilly sees it more as an option than a requirement 😂
Lack of sleep is an absolute killer. Literally.
Chronic lack of sleep is linked with higher risk of:
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Stroke
• Type 2 diabetes
• Obesity
Yay for us, not.
People who sleep less than 6 hours per night are significantly more likely to catch infections, including colds.
Sleep helps the brain consolidate memories.
When you don’t sleep enough:
• It’s harder to learn new information
• Memory becomes less reliable
• Problem-solving ability drops
I’m menopausal I don’t need this 🥊
It changes hunger hormones. So lucky aren’t we. 👀
Long-term sleep deprivation can shorten lifespan. What every SEN parent wants to hear. NOTTTT.
All in all I salute my other no sleep comrades 🥱
On the plus side it has enabled me to watch approximately 100, 16 episode Korean dramas, write a book (almost) and actually get some work done.
