This is a great subject to help us learn more about our own bodies and how they function (or fail to function at times). I have worked around kids and the elderly and have personally seen the long-term effect that lack of sleep can do to someone. Along with that I have an Aunt who is very sickly due to severe sleep deprivation. When I saw the video below it simply hit home.

This is why I want to share what I’ve learned through the years.

I myself have struggled with lack of sleep, as I think most of us do. While I think it’s completely normal for our bodies to keep us from sleeping sometimes I know the negative effects it can have in the long term. I have taken steps to defeat not sleeping and I know for a fact that it is possible.
