Good sleep is of utmost importance to a person’s
overall health and well-being. Even in the short term,
lack of sleep or quality sleep can have serious
consequences, as it can more than double the
chance of a person experiencing an occupational
injury. Poor sleep is also associated with an increased
chance of getting in a car accident.

3.  According to National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration estimates, sleepiness
while driving causes over 100,000 car
crashes per year, many of which result in
injuries or even fatalities.
In addition to causing decreased alertness
and ability to concentrate on things such as
work and driving, poor sleep contributes to
poor mental health. For example, if a
person is irritable due to lack of sleep, his or
her personal relationships might suffer due
to conflicts and moodiness.
