Sleep deprived

Per yesterday's post, maybe Elon Musk can sleep now that Tesla is in a better place. According to this article, he needs it.

"Musk is by his own admission highly sleep-deprived, a condition that in everybody who suffers from it results in impaired judgment at best, and outright disaster at worst. When you suffer from this affliction, you lose reasoning and problem-solving skills; you also suffer from short-term memory loss and stop being able to learn from your prior mistakes."

Loss of reasoning and problem-solving skill is just the tip of the iceberg. According to this article in Bloomberg, multiple health problems can be traced to lack of adequate sleep:

  • inflammation
  • headaches
  • poor communication
  • worse pain management
  • risk of type 2 diabetes
  • loneliness
  • etc., etc.
So if "sleep deprived" describes you, then I hope you too can change that.
