Focus and Memory Feel Dim
On top of affecting your mood, lack of sleep could affect your concentration. Studies have proven that even missing 2 hours when you normally sleep for 8 could impact your ability to concentrate and your memory.
This could affect your work performance, but there are other instances in which lack of sleep could be downright dangerous. For example, you could fall asleep behind the wheel. It happens more often than you think. More than one-third of people admit to falling asleep while driving.
Even a task as simple as cooking could lead to serious harm, especially if you forget to turn the stove or oven off.
