I'm wondering can the body slowly adjust to needing less sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, one can experience adverse effects of sleep deprivation within 24 hours. Symptoms are fatigue, sleepiness, decreased concentration/alertness, memory difficulties, reduced coordination, irritability, increased appetite, & mood changes. Long term sleep deprivation is related to cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, & neurological disorders. Adults need 7-9 hours of sleep daily
