We spend one third of our lives sleeping, and yet, some of us never seem to be able to get enough. People all over the world don’t get enough sleep as it comes from a medical condition like narcolepsy, or simply not having enough time in a day.
The effects of getting a good night’s rest are obvious for your health and body. Also, the signs of sleep deprivation are not as hard to point out as you may think.
