A member asked:

Which one is more important, sleep or breakfast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Um, sleep.: Sleep should definitely last longer and be more beneficial that one single meal. Sleep may even be more important than exercise, at least in my book. To feel rested and restored not just for one day but for the 3 days following, you need to have good sleep.
