The hard truth: there's no way to cheat your way around your sleep needs, given the purpose it serves for good health 😴
. If you don't get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep, particularly for an extended period of time, you’re cutting short these processes, leaving the body less and less able to recover from the daily wear and tear of life.We've established that your perception of how well you function is distorted when you are sleep deprived. But the body will also try to compensate for sleep deprivation by going into physiological overdrive, says Dr. Wu.
This hormonal surge could leave you feeling hyped and fully competent. But that additional alertness isn’t sustainable long-term. “If we’re constantly in this survival mode, the hyper-arousal becomes chronic and will start to wear the body down,” says Dr. Wu. Consuming any stimulant drug can also mask feelings of sleepiness and its negative cognitive effects, too, adds Dr. Wu, leaving you feeling alert and focused despite sleep deprivation. But again, this is still just a temporary fix.
