Sleep isn’t just rest — it’s the foundation of your brain, body, and long-term well-being. In this episode of the Need-to-Know podcast, we dive deep into the hidden dangers of sleep deprivation, revealing how it silently erodes your health, performance, mood, metabolism, and even your lifespan. From the science of brain fog and burnout to the link between sleep and chronic disease, we unpack the biological truths you’ve probably never heard — and the myths you desperately need to unlearn.

We’ll break down:

• What actually happens inside your brain when you don’t sleep
• How sleep loss fuels anxiety, depression, and emotional instability
• Why your productivity suffers (even when you think you’re killing it)
• The shocking link between sleep and heart disease, cancer, and dementia
• The truth about night owls, early birds, and chronotypes
• 10 proven ways to reclaim your sleep — starting tonight

If you're constantly tired, burnt out, or pushing through exhaustion thinking it's the price of success — this episode will change everything.
