i have been sleeping for almost 5 hrs everyday since july up until december rn. im a busy person so sometimes im forced to stay up longer. im worried about irreversible side effects from this. any tips on how to reverse any damage caused? like brain puzzles, memory games, ….
also i will be focusing more on time management to get in more sleep hours
I feel you. Sleep hygiene is very important. Keep regular hours. Try meds, Unisom. Don’t look at screens an hour before bed.
Try to get consistent 8 hours of sleep and protect your sleep time with better time management. Brain exercises, short naps, and a relaxing bedtime routine can help your mind recover.
Five hours consistently is tough but the good news is the body and brain are pretty resilient once you start getting more rest.Prioritizing sleep time will help the most mental games are fine, but real recovery comes from consistent, longer sleep.
