<h2>Consequences of Poor Sleep</h2>
<p>A weak immune system, double the risk of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, disruption of blood sugar to the point of being considered pre-diabetic, obesity, distortion of genes, psychiatric conditions (depression, anxiety, and suicidality), slower reaction times, reproductive issues, and blocked and brittle coronary arteries, which can lead to cardiovascular disease, stroke, and heart failure, are all correlated or caused by frequently getting less than six or seven hours a night.</p>
-<h2>Do You Need More Sleep?</h2>
-<p>Do you remember the last time you woke up without an alarm clock, feeling well-rested without caffeine? After waking up in the morning, could you fall back asleep at ten or eleven a.m.? If your answer to the first question is “no” and the answer to the second is “yes,” you probably need more sleep. <a href="https://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3902880/bin/aasm.37.1.9s1.tif">Here</a> is a questionnaire, called SATED, developed by sleep researchers with the aim of determining sleep satisfaction. It contains five simple questions:</p>
-<ul>
-<li>“Satisfaction: Are you satisfied with your sleep?</li>
-<li>Alertness: Do you stay awake all day without dozing?</li>
-<li>Timing: Are you asleep (or trying to sleep) between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m.?</li>
-<li>Efficiency: Do you spend less than 30 minutes awake at night? (This includes the time it takes to fall asleep and awakenings from sleep.)</li>
-<li>Do you sleep between 6 and 8 hours per day?”</li>
-</ul>
-<p>Tally your score from 0 to 10, with each question giving 0 for rarely/never, 1 for sometimes, and 2 for usually/always.</p>
