It's better for growth, and the brain, to relieve stress.

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety.

The way you feel while you're awake depends in part on what happens while you're sleeping. During sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health. In children and teens, sleep also helps support growth and development.

The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time. For example, ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others.

Sleep helps your brain work properly. While you're sleeping, your brain is preparing for the next day. It's forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information.

Studies show that a good night's sleep improves learning. Whether you're learning math, how to play the piano, how to perfect your golf swing, or how to drive a car, sleep helps enhance your learning and problem-solving skills. Sleep also helps you pay attention, make decisions, and be creative.

Studies also show that sleep deficiency alters activity in some parts of the brain. If you're sleep deficient, you may have trouble making decisions, solving problems, controlling your emotions and behavior, and coping with change. Sleep deficiency also has been linked to depression, suicide, and risk-taking behavior.

Children and teens who are sleep deficient may have problems getting along with others. They may feel angry and impulsive, have mood swings, feel sad or depressed, or lack motivation. They also may have problems paying attention, and they may get lower grades and feel stressed.
Sleep plays an important role in your physical health. For example, sleep is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke.

Sleep deficiency also increases the risk of obesity. For example, one study of teenagers showed that with each hour of sleep lost, the odds of becoming obese went up. Sleep deficiency increases the risk of obesity in other age groups as well.

Sleep helps maintain a healthy balance of the hormones that make you feel hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin). When you don't get enough sleep, your level of ghrelin goes up and your level of leptin goes down. This makes you feel hungrier than when you're well-rested.

Sleep also affects how your body reacts to insulin, the hormone that controls your blood glucose (sugar) level. Sleep deficiency results in a higher than normal blood sugar level, which may increase your risk for diabetes.

Sleep also supports healthy growth and development. Deep sleep triggers the body to release the hormone that promotes normal growth in children and teens. This hormone also boosts muscle mass and helps repair cells and tissues in children, teens, and adults. Sleep also plays a role in puberty and fertility.

Your immune system relies on sleep to stay healthy. This system defends your body against foreign or harmful substances. Ongoing sleep deficiency can change the way in which your immune system responds. For example, if you're sleep deficient, you may have trouble fighting common infections.
Getting enough quality sleep at the right times helps you function well throughout the day. People who are sleep deficient are less productive at work and school. They take longer to finish tasks, have a slower reaction time, and make more mistakes.

After several nights of losing sleep—even a loss of just 1–2 hours per night—your ability to function suffers as if you haven't slept at all for a day or two.

Lack of sleep also may lead to microsleep. Microsleep refers to brief moments of sleep that occur when you're normally awake.

You can't control microsleep, and you might not be aware of it. For example, have you ever driven somewhere and then not remembered part of the trip? If so, you may have experienced microsleep.

Even if you're not driving, microsleep can affect how you function. If you're listening to a lecture, for example, you might miss some of the information or feel like you don't understand the point. In reality, though, you may have slept through part of the lecture and not been aware of it.

Some people aren't aware of the risks of sleep deficiency. In fact, they may not even realize that they're sleep deficient. Even with limited or poor-quality sleep, they may still think that they can function well.

For example, drowsy drivers may feel capable of driving. Yet, studies show that sleep deficiency harms your driving ability as much as, or more than, being drunk. It's estimated that driver sleepiness is a factor in about 100,000 car accidents each year, resulting in about 1,500 deaths.

Drivers aren't the only ones affected by sleep deficiency. It can affect people in all lines of work, including health care workers, pilots, students, lawyers, mechanics, and assembly line workers.

As a result, sleep deficiency is not only harmful on a personal level, but it also can cause large-scale damage. For example, sleep deficiency has played a role in human errors linked to tragic accidents, such as nuclear reactor meltdowns, grounding of large ships, and aviation accidents.

I never knew all of this!!!
I just knew scattered or focused information about this important topic


I don't sleep quite well. i've experienced microsleeps on forums and also I am very nocturnal, I tend to be awake for very long.
And I can have my bad moments too like poor attention, and memory confusion

What can I do to sleep better?
I got a schedule provided by santo, but I'm veeery prone to sleep deficiency

Do you know how to fix those jumps? :O
Firefox does that to me in a bad way while looking at submissions on FA..
Nooope sorry, I can't seem to find a solution to that and OMG you have them too?? :0

SAAAAAME!!;
I can't look at the faves of other users without getting jumped out!

But the problem here is just that<
(I can't for example, press enter where the (<) is because it doesn't jumps directly:

That<(*phone enter*)
I<(direct new line to write)

(But it does only make them new love without going there directly to start writing. Except, only if any non-alphabetic symbol is there where you press enter)

Omg! I dunno! Maybe.. what if they are actually furries?? :0

That would explain the artist thing >w>
Ooor maybe they did auditions for the artist, or a quick search? <w<

Those are my hypothesis!
We need data to confirm!

well, I would recommend getting some time off of the screen, especially about an hour before when sans says you should go to sleep, and maybe take some melatonin or some lavender tea if you can find it, they often lead to better sleep. If you need to, sleep during the day, or whenever you want when you have time, and you should try to aim for 7-9 hours a night/day/wheneverthehellyouwanttosleep. I would ask a doctor or someone about medicines that could help you sleep also, but something that actually works for me (and I was like, sooo surprised when it did) was making myself comfortable, and inhaling for four, holding for four, and exhaling for six. I credit pretty much all of my info to a friend of mine, her mother is a nurse (albeit a labor nurse or something like that, but still) and she l o v e s the medical stuff, so I asked lol. I'm actually pretty stupid irl, but that doesn't mean my friends are too 0w-
Aaaaa

Nuuuu :ε
Kansas, USA. woo freaking hoo. Kansas with the flat hills, and I was thinking about when I lived on the coast in Oregon, me and my best friend would play with the snails all the time, and I noticed for the first time that I've been living here (about to be 4 years) that there's no snails. I miss my snails :E
What if you sleep too much like I do now?
Well, I would try staying up for longer. Again, the perfect hours to aim for are 7-9, and that doesn't mean 8 specifically, just... somewhere in that time period.
Too much sleep on a regular basis can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and death according to several studies done over the years. Too much is defined as greater than nine hours. The most common cause is not getting enough sleep the night before, or cumulatively during the week. This is followed by sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, idiopathic hypersomnolence, as well as depression. Get enough sleep, seven to nine hours a night. Do not oversleep on weekends this throws your circadian rhythms off and makes falling asleep even more difficult when the work week comes along. Expose yourself to bright sunlight upon awakening. Consider leaving the drapes or blinds open at night. That morning sunlight will help you to wake up. Consider getting a dawn sunlight emitting alarm clock. Many of my patients are using them. You can set the dawn light to start filling your room with light 15 to 30 minutes before the alarm goes off. Avoid excessive naps especially after 4 PM. These may make it more difficult to fall asleep and result in oversleeping. The same goes for excessive caffeine and blue light exposure close to bedtime. To prevent this from happening, you should select your optimal number of sleep hours to function at your best. Then, determine your WAKE TIME, likely based on your work schedule or family demands. GET UP at the SAME TIME EVERY DAY, including weekends. Put your alarm clock across the room. When it rings, GET UP. NO snooze button. Go to bed at the SAME TIME EVERY NIGHT, within about 1/2 hour range. COMMIT to this for at least 2 weeks, with a goal of 4, then reevaluate your sleep and wake times.


Jesus. I'd thought i'd never type that much on here

I hope this could help.
