Sleep deprivation is becoming more common these days. Many people try to adjust their schedule to get as much done as possible, and sleep takes a back seat.

Almost everyone has encountered a zombie-like feeling after a night of minimal or no sleep.

Some of the most serious potential problems associated with chronic sleep deprivation are high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure or stroke, cardiovascular disease, obesity, immunodeficiency, hormonal abnormalities, pain and mental health disorders.
