A lack of sleep affects your mood
[1] When a person cannot sleep or sleeps only a few hours a
night, a lot of damage is done. A person gets bad-tempered,
loses their drive, feels angry and tired, and also gets bags
under their eyes. Poor sleep can also make a person
[5] emotionally unstable and even affect their immune system.
A good tip to improve the quality of sleep is to avoid heavy
meals at night and to avoid drinking beverages with a high
caffeine content, such as soft drinks and coffee.
