Peter Barsoom, CEO of a US pharmaceutical company, used to sleep three hours a day, waking up at 4:30 a.m. to work, but now embraces "sleeping well" as his new success strategy.
Sleep loss, lack of sleep, or poor sleep quality affects almost every organ in the body, from the nervous and cardiovascular systems to the liver and kidneys.
Prolonged stress and lack of sleep can affect hormones, stimulate cholesterol production, and combined with a diet high in sweets and fried foods, lead to dyslipidemia.
