I read this one a while back and thought i would mention it here because sleep is something that get's so overlooked by a lot of people.
The author is a neuroscientist and, i think by now, quite a famous and sleep expert.
The book discusses how sleep influences everything from our memory and immune system to our emotional stability and lifespan and since i read it, i have taken sleep much more seriously. It sounds boring, but it was a very interesting read.
The craziest fact that now think about every time i get a bad night people who get fewer than 5 hours of sleep per night can experience a reduction of up to 70% in natural killer T cell activity the next day (these are the cells that are responsible for sniffing out abnormal or infected cells).
So basically, just by not sleeping enough you increase your risk of your body not catching cells that could end up multiplying and causing cancer.
so yeah, any time i wake up and take a while to get back to sleep, my mind goes straight to my reduced killer T cell activity lol
