Do you ever feel tired? Well sure, most people do, but lack of sleep is nothing to shrug off.

So all of us must start making sleep a priority, and that includes you!

睡眠時間4時間未満の人は？

Surveys have shown that people who average less than 4 hours of sleep per night for an extended period of time start to display several signs of poor health, including increased levels of　stress, anxiety, and irritability.

for an extended period of time：長期間にわたって
display：画面、示す
to display several signs：いくつかのサインを表示する

Even more so, these types of feelings lead to poor dietary choices, meaning that people who don’t sleep enough often will choose unhealthier food options, which leads to weight gain.

Even more so：なおさら、よりいっそう
