If you lose enough night to sleep, you really are cognitively drunk. Eventually, Tara dove deep into sleep research and figuring out how to get the best sleep possible.  Tara realized that quality sleep enhances overall health and wellness, giving you focus on taking the day.   [04:20] If You Get Less Than Six Hours of Sleep Over Two Weeks, It Is The Same As Being Legally Drunk You can go without food longer than you can without sleep. Your body functions better when fasting. However, the same does not go for sleeping. Sleep is fundamental. If you don’t sleep for ten days, you can die.  We need sleep for longevity and health. If you don’t sleep, you won’t function well.  Your chances of getting in a car crash are exactly the same if you’re sleep-deprived or drunk.    [09:20] True or False: You Should Get Eight Hours of Sleep Every Night The myth that you need eight hours of sleep is one of Tara’s favorite ideas to debunk.
