Sleep deprivation. We give up our times of rest in an attempt to achieve more, but is that actually doing more harm than good? Let’s take a look at how more sleep = greater achievement:

Improve Memory

If you’re in the process of learning something new, you will actually preform better after sleep. Whether physical or mental, you can learn up to a certain point with practice, but sleeping actually helps to enhance those skills making you better the next time you try.

Boost Creativity
