Does happiness to you mean more sleep? According to numerous studies and sleep experts, quality shut-eye isn’t just connected to your health, but also how you feel, think and will react.
Sleeping 7-9 hours a night has been linked to higher overall well-being scores and higher life satisfaction. When you cut back on sleep your stress levels and risk of depression begins to rise, along with your short temper, low patience and anxiety.
It can be frustrating reading the same page over and over again, as your brain struggles to support your cognitive functioning and memory skills. When you are sleep-deprived you are more likely to make poor decisions, take dangerous risks, and be less productive and creative.
