Do You Get Enough Sleep?

How I feel most mornings.

We might think not getting enough sleep is no big deal.  Sure, lack of sleep makes us grumpy and tired, but we think that can be cured by drinking coffee or catching up on sleep on the weekend. This might be true for occasional sleep deprivation, but many of us have a much bigger problem than that. We don't realize how much our sleep affects the most basic of activities.

For instance, it can affect driving. I can't imagine anyone here driving a tanker or working on a space shuttle (lack of sleep played a role in both disasters) but we often do drive cars.  I've driven after little to no sleep and it's definitely not something I'd want to do again. I certainly wouldn't want me to drive my kids around or even be on the road. It can affect your memory and ability to do your job, as well as physical problems. I could go on forever, but here's a gra
phic that can give a lot more information than I could.
