A member asked:
If you go a week with only getting 4-5 hours of sleep every night, how would that affect you mentally and physically? could your digestive system be affected? and could your body have trouble regulating body temp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most people would feel deteriorations in their mental & physical functioning with less than 6 hours of sleep nightly. This can certainly lead to various digestive symptoms in certain people. Body temperature would not be affected. I would suggest virtual or in person visit if you need personalized advice concerning your situation.
