(CNN) One night of sleep loss is enough to disrupt your day-to-day mental and physical well-being, according to a new study, and consecutive days of sleep loss can increase these negative impacts. Daily effects of consecutive sleep loss, however, have not been as widely researched. The new study focused specifically on day-to-day adverse effects of sleep loss, which was defined as getting fewer than six hours of sleep nightly, and whether there are cumulative effects of repeated sleep loss on daily well-being. The analysis found that sleep loss for even one night resulted in increased negative well-being and decreased positive well-being, both physically and mentally. "The research shows that consecutive sleep loss results in incomplete recovery and stress pile-up and so degrade our daily well-being."
