Le sommeil, que se passerait-il si je ne dormais plus?

We spend about a third of our lives sleeping. The brain and body remain active during sleep. A child needs 10 to 12 hours of sleep per night, an adult 8 hours and an elderly person 6 hours. There are several phases of sleep and in each phase, the brain has a different activity. During sleep, the body rebuilds itself, eliminates waste and produces hormones to grow. Lack of sleep has consequences on concentration. If this lack of sleep is prolonged, the consequences on health can quickly become very serious. In order for the body to rest well, it is necessary to avoid screens before sleeping and to remain calm. A story or a calm discussion is the best way to sleep well. This way, the brain will function better.
