Are You Sleep Deprived?

First you poured coffee in your breakfast cereal this morning. Then you got in the car before you realized that you were still wearing your slippers.

Just a bad start to the day? Or are you missing some clear signs that you need more sleep?

“If you are chronically sleep deprived, you could act like someone with depression,” AASM member Dr. Lisa Shives told Prevention.

So what about you – are you getting enough sleep? View “Seven Signs You Need Sleep” from the AASM on SleepEducation.com.
