What happens while you're asleep
Sleep isn't rest. It's work. While you're out, your brain is filing memories, clearing waste, and resetting for the next day. Skip it, and you're not just tired. You're measurably slower, foggier, and more reactive, whether you feel it or not.

Treat the last hour before bed as a bridge to memory consolidation. Dim the lights, step away from screens, and let your nervous system start winding down. The information you worked hard to absorb today gets locked in tonight, or not at all.
