The National Sleep Foundation updated their daily recommendation for sleep. Are you getting the proper amount of sleep? Did you know that if you're not getting proper amounts of sleep, it can result in hunger consistently throughout the day, make you more emotional and susceptible to tear up, increased forgetfulness or lack of focus, 3x the risk of catching more colds if you sleep less than 7 hours, more clumsy than usual, and a low sex drive? I can speak on behalf of my personal experience that all these things are very true! Who knew that a lack of sleep could result in the loss of so much daily function. I tend to get between 4-5 hours a sleep, maybe 7 on a good day. If I don't get a lot of sleep, I can always plan on being sluggish and feeling like a Zombie all day. Thank God for coffee!
