Sleep should be considered to be a restorative process during which optimal psychological functioning is facilitated. It has been generally viewed as a time when problem-solving occurs and significant Gestalten completed. The fact that it has an influence on concentration implies that it may assist in the logical arrangement and storage of cognitive and effective material used during the waking hours as well as classifying, assimilating, and storing new material. The subconscious, therefore, has to process new as well as existing material and store it for quick retrieval and use the following day. In other words, sleep enables the individual to maximize his/her psychological potential. The storage function of sleep can be compared to the activities of a busy office during the day when many files are drawn from the archives. The contents of each file is processed and new material may be added. The contents of some maybe settled and the contents of others discarded. In order to be retrieved and used the following day, the files should be placed back into the archives in a logical fashion. Should there not be a time set aside for sorting and storing the files used each day, they will remain in the office and it would require more effort and energy to conduct the following day’s business. Needless to say, this will probably result in much tension, stress and maybe even conflict within the system. Should another day pass without the files having been settled, sorted, and stored, problems could only escalate and most likely lead to increase emotionality and eventually panic. If the situation were to continue, even more energy will be spent simply in order to find those files in immediate demand. The concomitant stress and conflict could further drain the system’s resources, until it cannot function any further and the system, may stop functioning altogether.

Great analogy! When you come down to it, it's very logical and therefore easily makes a lot of sense. I keep coming back to my mom's dementia before she passed. Definitely similarities if not a direct correlation or causation. 70+ years of frustration, hurt and pain in an abusive marriage, severely dysfunctional family dynamics & division between her & my step-father, my half-siblings & myself. Not to mention being sexually abused by her own father which was so prevalent in that side of the family that it was practically acceptable, but of course swept under the rug, not talked about. I am very aware of how many sleepless nights that resulted in, never being validated, being victimized and villianized, etc.: a lifetime, really, and the cumulative effect? So sad.

yes it can i had a month of really bad sleep and my oura ring was showing 20 minutes or less of deep sleep and less than an hour of REM. I had body aches joint pains, headaches everyday I felt so anxious and stressed and i had depersonalization and brain fog. I wasn't functioning. I stopped caffeine as well and when my sleep started getting better most if not all my problems went away. I started seeing 2-3 hours of REM and 2 hours of deep sleep and when i had this for a week consistently , my body repaired. The chronic fatigue i had and just horrible pain and wild anxiety and depression also subsided. SLEEP is the most important non-negotiable part of my life now

Given the horrendous long hours you have to work in Health Care, how many medical mustakes are due to chronic lack of sleep? From this video I'm betting quite a few. This would mean chronic lack of sleep is an issue and health care workers should have better working hours.

I remember my first experience with sleep deprivation as a 10 year old. I had a sleepover with friends in my back garden and thought it would be cool to stay up all night. By the morning i was hallucinating and pissing into my parents fireplace.
