![This image shows a man who sacrifices his sleep to meet the deadlines. But pulling all-nighters and ignoring sleep, would it make him efficient or just tired with poor quality work?](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex033/uploads/medbound/original/2X/f/f90c86e45abdc4f518b4dc669417aa63852df866.jpeg) Everybody knows how important sleep is. We talk about sleeping at proper time, tips for a sound sleep, and the effect of quality sleep on our body. Yet, sleeping is the first activity we sacrifice whenever life gets busy. Why do we treat sleep as something which can be borrowed? MBH/AS ---

In my view I came across few people who does one night battings and few postpone their sleep to next day to complete their work. But proper sleep is most important than any other work as it is required to be healthy. ---

Because during stressful conditions we can’t really fall asleep . That anxiety makes us to stay and finish the things or do it until we’re tired to dead drop on bed 😴. ---

Unlikely for me, I never compromise on my sleep. I simply can’t function without a good proper sleep ---

People sacrifice sleep to get things done. But sacrificing one night’s sleep can lead to less concentration on tasks and extreme fatigue throughout the day. Repeatedly sacrificing sleep could lead to heart diseases in future. ---

And such people are considered as hardworking and one who sleeps properly as lazy. ---

For me, it is revenge bedtime procrastination! When you have zero time for self-care, family, hobbies, due to being “busy”… the only way to cope is by fighting sleep and carving out a part of bedtime to do those! ![1792420003516](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex033/uploads/medbound/original/2X/e/edf7c6ed76714d449f4779f27832c48819b3f03f.jpeg)
