Sleep isn’t a luxury.

It’s a biological necessity — as essential as air, water, and food.

Yet millions of people regularly cut their sleep short, thinking they can “catch up later” or “power through.”

But chronic sleep deprivation does more than make you yawn.

It rewires your brain, weakens your body, and reshapes your emotional health — often in ways you don’t notice until it’s too late.

As a neuroscientist and sleep researcher reviewing decades of clinical studies, I’ll walk you through what happens when you consistently skip quality sleep — no exaggeration, no fearmongering.

Just transparent, science-backed facts you can trust.
