so i have a question what do you think  would happen to your body if you actually  

did not sleep for 72 hours let’s talk about  it well at 24 hours of no sleep you’re going  

to feel a lot of drowsiness you’re going to feel  irritable you’re going to have impaired judgment

stress and you’re actually going to be at risk for  accidents if you’re driving okay now at 36 hours  

your cortisol is going to go up which is going to  release a lot of sugar in your body and your liver  

which is going to affect your insulin so your  cortisol is going to go up your insulin’s going to  

go up but your growth hormone is going to go down  and that’s directly related to your ability to  

repair muscle and also repair all your proteins in  your body and also lose weight so growth hormone  

is like the anti-aging hormone so you might age  faster than you should your appetite will go up  

i’ve noticed this if i don’t get enough sleep  like i’m hungrier your metabolism will go down  

i’ve seen this with a lot of people who are  trying to lose weight but they’re not sleeping  

well your metabolism goes down when you’re not  sleeping moodiness okay higher stress levels  

you’re going to be extremely tired hormonal  imbalance poor reasoning decreased motivation  

and so if you have poor reasoning or you feel like  you don’t have enough more motivation or you’re  

tired it could be that you’re just not getting  the quality of sleep okay because it’s not just  

the um the quantity of sleep it’s the quality  of sleep so if you have any of these symptoms
