What happens if u don't sleep enough?

Lately, I've been getting only 4-5 hours of sleep due to work stress. I feel very tired. I was thinking, what actually happens to you, long-term or short-term, if you don't sleep enough regularly?

I used to panic thinking I was getting brain damage after getting only 4 hours of sleep for a week. But honestly, our bodies are quite resilient and you can recover quickly with a good weekend nap. Just relax, you will be fine.

Not sleeping enough just ruins your productivity and makes you super irritable the next day. Set a hard limit on your screen time and stick to a schedule. If it is a chronic issue, just see a sleep specialist instead of dragging it.

I was just reading some articles on this, and apparently, it weakens your immune system and lowers your focus levels. It is crazy how much our body relies on those 7-8 hours of rest. We really need to start taking bedtime seriously.

My grandmother always says that a glass of warm milk before bed cures sleeplessness, which is nice and comforting. But if you are constantly sleep-deprived, it can affect your blood pressure, so it is best to consult a medical professional.

If you don't sleep well, your head will feel heavy all day and you won't feel like working. Please eat a simple dinner early and try to sleep on time. Taking care of health is the most important thing.
