Effects of Inadequate Rest and Sleep

What happens when we don’t get enough sleep? It affects our bodies and minds in many ways.

Feeling Tired

Lack of sleep makes us feel very tired during the day. This makes it hard to play, learn, and do things we enjoy.

Having Trouble Paying Attention

Insufficient sleep makes it hard to focus and pay attention in class. Our brains are too tired to process data.

Getting Sick More Easily

Not enough sleep weakens our bodies, making us more likely to get sick. Sleep helps our bodies repair themselves and fight off infections.

feeling Grumpy

When tired, we might feel grumpy or easily upset. We might not be as happy and patient.
