Short-term memory suffers dramatically from inadequate rest. Our emotional state becomes indifferent as we begin to have mood swings and many may suffer from depression. When a person is not getting a sufficient amount of sleep, even the most patient type of person may begin to exhibit characteristics such as impatience and irritability. As you can see, adequate sleep is necessary for total wellness. Although maintaining health is the main and most important reason for getting enough sleep, it is not the only one.
Adequate sleep is also good for the appearance.
With the right amount of rest the skin looks healthier and more youthful. Sleep really does make a significant difference right down to the clearness and sparkle in the eyes. I had worked night shift at my job for several months and was not getting adequate sleep. I was up all night and most of the day. I was exhausted.
