The underlying reason might be sleep debt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"What-is-sleep-debt?\">What is sleep debt?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep debt, also known as sleep deficit, is the difference between how much sleep you need and how much you actually get. It is when you sleep fewer hours than your body needs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep debt<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> adds up over time and can negatively impact your health. It is when you sleep fewer hours than your body needs. You should watch your late-night habits. Ensure you are not commuting, working, studying, or watching shows when it is time to sleep. However, you may not always feel tired if you have a sleep debt. Research has shown that you can adapt to chronic sleep restriction. This means that even if you don\u2019t feel sleepy, your body may already have significant declines in mental and physical performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The consequences of chronic sleep deprivation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep debt<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can negatively impact your health.

Children should get nine to eleven hours, while teenagers should get eight to ten hours of sleep each night.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Track your sleep patterns<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep a diary where you can set a sleep schedule. This will allow you to prioritize sleep and ensure you get the rest you need. If you want to change your sleep schedule, do it slowly in 30-minute or 60-minute increments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Calculate the difference<\/h3>\n<p>If you get four hours of sleep when you should be getting eight, you will have a sleep debt of four hours. If you do this for the next seven days, you will end up with a sleep debt of 28 hours. Similarly, going to sleep 20 minutes or 40 minutes later than usual for a few days can quickly add up your sleep debt.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"The-impact-of-sleep-debt-on-your-health\">Its impact on your health<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sleep debt can have a detrimental effect on your health.<\/p>\n<h3>Impaired cognitive function<\/h3>\n<p>Sleep debt can impair cognitive function in several ways.
