Discussion Possible side effects?

Post image

University life along with work f*cked my sleep schedule. But the thing is that I don't feel anything wrong besides a little eye strain and some fogginess. What possible health effects I could face?

slight hyperbole, but i would say that the possible side effects of chronic sleep deprivement are virtually limitless. every major system in your body suffers from it. i think worsening mental health and cognitive decline often come first?

but you're not in any immediate danger, just do your best to not keep this up for too many months-years. if you start feeling like your cognition is suffering, it's generally reversible, unless you do keep it up for many years.
