systematic sleep deprivation is really quite harmful

in some ways its a bit of a hidden tax where you may not feel tired on the surface during the day but it manifests in less mental clarity, poor judgment etc that you don't realize until after the fact if at all

Consistent sleep deprivation can indeed have serious consequences on our cognitive functions and overall well-being. It's important to prioritize quality sleep to avoid the hidden costs of impaired mental clarity and judgment. Take care of yourself!
