Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that lack of sleep can lead to impaired attention, as well as difficulty with concentration and memory, making it difficult to solve complex problems. Hallucinations and night terrors are more commonly associated with sleep disorders like sleep apnea or narcolepsy, and are less likely to occur with simply not getting enough sleep.
