In this short video, Neal Bloom explains that insufficient sleep undermines the ability to make good decisions, leading to impulsive behavior, especially in food choices. He describes how a sleepless night makes the rest of the day feel low‑quality and unproductive, and notes that many people are beginning to recognize this connection between sleep loss and daily performance.

You, you can't make great decisions. In fact, you're impulsive. You reach for things diet-wise that you normally would say no to, which then further decays your day. And that hit me the most. So I was like, you're right. Like, if I don't get sleep, everything else the whole day is almost not worth doing a day around because it's like a, it's a, it's a non-quality day. And I think a lot of people are waking up to that, if you will, in that regard.
