The myth of "doing something" to reduce the effects of stress is common.

Insufficient sleep is our most common habit, since we perceive sleep as a waste of productive time. Insufficient sleep makes the brain more emotionally unstable.

Easier to anger, anxiety and more likely to remember negative events. Executive function is impaired even in people who feel alert. Increased intelligence and individual "drive" does not compensate for insufficient sleep.

Our daytime productivity is reduced by chronic short sleep and not improved by an extra hour or 2 of sleep on the weekend
