Alright, here’s the deal: Sleep isn’t just about catching Z’s. If you’re out there thinking, “I can run on 4 hours,” guess what? Your brain’s waving the white flag. You need sleep like you need coffee—except this time it’s for keeping you sharp and not just upright. Those 8 hours? That’s when your brain clears out all the junk, files away memories, and resets to keep you from walking into walls or forgetting where you left the keys. So stop treating sleep like it’s optional. It’s mandatory for your brain to keep you sane. #sleep #emotionalregulation #sleepquality
