SLEEP DEBT !!!!!

Sleep debt, the cumulative effect of consistently missing out on the sleep your body needs, can significantly impact your health, mood, and productivity. Addressing this issue is crucial for overall well-being. At Tolerant Planet, we offer a range of products designed to help you reduce sleep debt and achieve restorative rest.

Understanding Sleep Debt

Sleep debt accumulates when you regularly get less sleep than your body requires. For instance, if you need 8 hours of sleep but only get 6, you build a sleep debt of 2 hours each night. Over time, this deficit can impair cognitive function, weaken the immune system, and increase the risk of chronic health conditions.
