7 Habits that are dangerous for the Brain

Lack of sleep

It’s probably not surprising that lack of sleep makes you lethargic and distracted the next day. This is because lack of sleep robs your neurons of the ability to function properly. This leads to memory loss that can affect your work and relationships. But more than that, your senses and reflexes are dulled, which increases the risk of dangerous accidents.

Chronic sleep deprivation can make these effects permanent. The next time you feel like you’re too busy to get enough sleep, remember that until you make sleep a priority, you won’t be able to perform at your best. Take the time to get a good night’s sleep and you’ll get more done in less time the next day.
