Benefits of sleep are obvious. Sleep is a natural blessing, it is desirable and it is sweet to a man. “The fear of Lord leads to life so that one may sleep satisfied, untouched by evil.” (Proverbs 19:23).

But continuation of such a problem on regular basis is certainly an issue whose telltale signs are excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, trouble in controlling emotions, lack of concentration, poor response to environmental change and compulsive need for caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. In a driving test, sleep-deprived people performed as if under the influence of drug, and no amount of caffeine or fresh air could negate the ill effects.
