Now let’s get started with this week’s topic—Sleep duration 🛏️
📖Read This
📚We’ve all heard that lack of sleep isn’t good for us, but recent studies bring new urgency to this old warning. Research shows that consistently getting only six hours of sleep can impair cognitive performance as much as staying awake for 48 hours straight. What’s more, many of us think we’re getting enough sleep when, in reality, we aren’t. This discrepancy between perception and reality can have serious implications for our health and daily functioning.

The CDC reports that almost one-third of adult Americans get less than seven hours of sleep nightly, falling into the 'short sleep duration' category. Stand out from the crowd by embracing the advantages of extended sleep duration. We've observed that Proof users achieve greater success when they share their goals with friends and family, inviting them to track progress or join in on the app.

Next week, we will look into the benefits of BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotropic Factor), where it acts, and its role in the overall ecosystem of our body.
