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?

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.
