A member asked:

Is it safe to go jogging when you've been up every night? what are the health risks for this?

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

None: Depends why you haven't been sleeping but i would expect no direct relationship to injury risk with jogging. Fatigued people have a higher risk of injury in baseball pitching and skiing.
