Sleep is the main time your body repairs itself. Both mentally and physically. Your brain flushes itself with chemicals to clean/repair itself and the rest of your body has a chance to also repair muscles, bones, tissues, etc while you sleep. So if you keep limiting your body’s time to do all that by keeping it awake or “on” too much, your health suffers from the lack of repair time.
