How sleep deprivation is affecting your health

In these days of side hustles, barely getting enough sleep has become the norm. Doctors typically recommend sleeping for seven to nine hours every night. This, they say, will ensure that you rest enough and that your brain is always functioning at an optimum.

However, it is concerning that more and more people are reducing their sleeping hours because they either want to dedicate some time to their side hustle or they are worried or anxious. Sleep deprivation has adverse effects on your health. According to online health magazine WebMD, lack of sleep affects more than just your mood. It can affect your memory, sex life, weight and appearance.
