Sleep and Decision Making

Although the amount of sleep varies from person to person, as adults, an average of 7 to 9 hours of sleep are needed to function at our best. Sometimes, we may get sufficient hours of sleep but may still have sleep deprivation if the quality of our sleep is poor. For example, suppose you have an underlying sleep problem like sleep apnea, your breathing is interrupted while sleeping, and you may wake up feeling exhausted despite sleeping for the correct number of hours.
