• Top Facts/Reminders/Actions:
  - Bad sleep on a regular basis can lead to weight gain, illness, and a lack of alertness, memory loss, lower job performance, and a bad mood. 
  - Sleep deprivation can impair your thinking as much or more than alcohol, the effect of lost sleep is similar to being drunk.
  - Not enough sleep on a regular basis can cause slower brain function, weight gain, moodiness, stress, and lower immune functions.  The average adult needs 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep a night.
