Summary:
Gain Weight
It’s hard enough battling the urge to eat when you actually are sleeping enough. Just imagine how bad your food cravings would be if you were always tired. Anyone who’s missed out on sleep will tell you just how bad their eating habits get. If they’re not binging on junk foods, their trips to the drive-thru will at least double. Newsflash, folks… This is no coincidence.

Memory Loss
Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation and forgotten somebody’s name? It’s so creepy. I mean, you knew it days ago. Now all of the sudden, it’s on the tip of your tongue. Well brace yourself, because if you’re not sleeping the right hours, this is going to happen over and over again.

Work Performance Is Suffering
This ties in with concentration. Think about it, if you’re unable to focus, how the heck are you going to finish anything? All of your tasks are going to be affected, whether you’re at work, or at home. Your boss who was once impressed is really going to be having second thoughts about that promotion. Sooner or later, your job may even be at risk.

Stressed
Due to the pace of daily life, it’s easy to feel wound up. Just being stuck in the drive-thru early morning is enough to make you want to pull your hair out. But if you’re not getting enough sleep, this can take your stress to a whole new level.

Anxious
If you’re always on edge, with your mind wandering into dangerous places, you might want to think about going to bed earlier tonight. Lack of sleep will heighten your anxiety. Just the slightest thought will have you breathing heavily and biting your nails.

Wrong Decisions
This goes back to the connection between sleep and our inability to focus. If you’re not going to bed at a decent hour, you’re not going to be able to think properly. This affects your decision making ability. The choices you make in everyday life are going to worsen. As a result, your life is going to go downhill.

Mood Swings
Have you ever felt suddenly irritable? These are mood swings in a nutshell, and they can be a pain for both you and the people around you.
