Sufficient sleep is essential to your mind and brain!

While caffeine may help you stay awake and feel more alert, it likely won’t help you with tasks that require complex thought.

I have been staying up too late being silly on #Mastodon.

It's almost 5am.
A good time to talk about sleep debt.

Sleep debt is the accumulated loss of sleep that occurs from not getting enough sleep over several nights or longer.

Goodnight/good morning everyone. #GoodnightMastodon #SleepDebt #Insomnia #AuDHD

Finally managed to sleep all the way through the night last night, after a couple of weeks of insomnia. It's probably not a coincidence that those couple of weeks coincided with my wife being out of town helping her mother after hip surgery, or that last night was our first night back together again.

@jimothy @AbhijoyChakladar @ketaminh I’m very lucky the department where I work actively encourages rest and sleep. We do have trainee and consultant on call rooms which are comfortable, quiet, private and mostly dark. It’s part of the reason I chose to work there as a consultant. #rest #assosiationOfAnaesthetists #FightFatigue #CriticalDecisionMaking #SleepDebt #FatigueIncreasesErrors
