Sleeping
Description
Sleeping is the essential process of regularly allowing the body and mind to rest and recover through periods of unconsciousness. This strategy restores physical energy, consolidates memory, and supports immune function. Practically, it remedies fatigue, cognitive impairment, and emotional instability caused by sleep deprivation. Effective sleeping involves maintaining consistent sleep schedules, creating restful environments, and addressing sleep disorders, thereby enhancing overall health, productivity, and resilience to stress.
Claim
Humans are the only species that deliberately deprive themselves of sleep for no apparent reason.
No one can make it on five hours or less of sleep without suffering some level of short-term impairment or long-term illness.
