According to an article written by Sherrie Bourg Carter, Psy.D. for Psychology Today, the loss/lack and poor quality of sleep can cause:
- Accelerated Skin Aging
- Brain Damage
- Genetic Changes
- Increased Risk of Stroke
- Decreased Bone Density
- Increased Risk of Obesity
- Increased Risk for Heart Disease
- Increased Risk for Cancer
- Forced Early Retirement

The article cited the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that 30% of American workers get less than 6 hours of sleep per night.
A quick search online reveals the World Health Organization warned of a 'sleep loss epidemic' as a growing concern in two-thirds of adults in developing nations.

Researchers have now shown that what we do to our minds and bodies when we skimp on sleep doesn't just impact us in the short term. Indeed, the consequences are long-term—and potentially deadly:
We don’t recognize or admit to it, but getting less shuteye is ruining our health, happiness and prosperity.
