A member asked:

Can you tell me what some after effects of sleep deprivation are?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many: The worst is dragged out deadly fatigue, "brain fog", lack of judgement as in driving etc. We are a sleep deprived nation and it reflects the collective health of us all. Make sure that your diet is good. Get rid of the "juhk". Try to get some information on meditation. Slow down!
