Are You Sleep Deprived?

Th​ere was a recent study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania suggesting that sleep deprivation kills brain cells..
Research on sleep-deprived mice detected measurable damage to the loss of neurons responsible for alertness and optional brain function.  "Really what you are looking at is similar to the effect of doing drugs" says James Maas, an internationally renowned sleep educator.  "Sleep deprivation fries the brain"
A lack of sleep has also been linked to heart disease, cancer, diabetes and even allergies and skin problems.. The bottom line is that the effects of sleep deprivation deserves as much attention as nutrition and exercise,
We must stop thinking of sleep in terms of hours and start thinking in terms of efficiency (quality rather than quantity)
