I find it surprising when people ‘complete’ their sleep hours during weekend. I mean they will sleep 4-5 hours over the week and then sleep 10-12 hours over weekend to compensate. Unfortunately sleep is not like a bank where you can carry forward the sleep debt

Week after week, this sleep debt escalates. Sleep of the best medical insurance you can do. It’s a cure all medicine. There are thousands of studies that prove that even an hours sleep deprivation daily can cause havoc with your hormones,

Young healthy men sleeping just four hours a night for four nights end up with a level of testosterone equivalent to that of someone 10 years older. In other words, inadequate sleep, even for a few nights, will ‘age’ a man by over a decade in terms of such hormonal virility.

In contrast, proper sleep will gift quite remarkable health benefits. It will help nurturing memory and learning, and boosting immunity, physical fitness and mental health.
Even if you’ve been neglecting sleep until now, it’s never too late to start.
