Shocking Effects of Sleeping Less Than 7 Hours

The importance of sleep is often emphasized, with the recommendation to get at least seven hours each night. However, for many, achieving this goal is challenging due to factors like stress-related insomnia or external disruptions. Recently, the sleep technology company Simba used artificial intelligence (AI) to explore the physical consequences of sleep deprivation, revealing that insufficient sleep could have significant and harmful effects on the body.

Simba conducted a survey of 2,175 adults in the UK, gathering insights into their sleep habits, physical health, and appearance. The data was then analyzed by an AI bot, which visually depicted the impact of getting more or less than seven hours of sleep per night. According to Lisa Artis, Deputy CEO of The Sleep Charity and Simba’s charity partner, “A lack of sleep doesn’t just leave you tired—it shows up all over your body.”
