Sleeping is a precious and important part of our routine, If you’re feeling unexplainably tired or angry it’s most likely because you were trying hard to get to sleep but couldn’t. Not getting enough sleep for 1 or 2 days will not only affect your mood but can also have some long-term effects. Sleep Deprivation not only effects your mental health but physically you may also notice some changes in yourself.
