In the same way that your body feels tired, the cells in your brain have not had a chance to rest and so they too are sluggish and don\u2019t feel much like doing anything. What this translates to on a physical level, is that your neural cells will transmit signals more slowly, meaning it will be harder to focus, stay attentive or even make good decisions. We are more likely to care less about things that are usually important to us and we are even more prone to forgetting things, especially new information.<\/p><p>Getting a good night\u2019s sleep
