There is more to a good sleep rather than just being rested and getting recharged. To remain truly healthy, it is quintessential that at least one-quarter of the day is being invested to sleeping. In totality, one quality of life can be ruptured owing to sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation has major health consequences too that include:

• Depression,
• Weight gain,
• Heart disease,
• Weakening of immune system,
• Decreases in the number of white blood cells and growth hormones and more.

Let’s explore the various factors that sleep deprivation will bring with itself, and ultimately handcuff your dexterity of writing well.

- Inability to understand, analyze and retain new information

A brain’s ability to learn, remember and interpret the things perceived and listened by one is deeply dependent on a good night sleep. And if one’s capability is limited to these aspects, his ability to understand things and withhold them is constricted. And if your understanding of things is lacking, you won’t be able to write well. Your inference faculty will also be not that bright if you are deprived of sleep.

- Impaired cognitive functions

Each and every conscious mental activity of ours, such as thinking, understanding, learning, and remembering is impaired, and thus you become less productive. Your imaginative power and creativity are directly dependent on your cognitive functions too.

- Dampened Memory

The ability of acquisition of new things and recalling things learned in the past become difficult for a brain that is not getting enough sleep. And if you are not learning things every day, you writing abilities will come to a standstill. And you will wind up with too much repetition of words and phrases that are quite common, and notions that are clichéd.

- Poor judgment

Lack of sleep not only hampers our physical reflexes and motor skills, but it also affects our sense. More often, we develop the tendency of always feeling right about us and put others at condemnation. This is sort of a narcissistic trait, which will eventually begin to reflect in your writings. Your tone would be judgmental and opinionated.

- Poor concentration

Concentration is another critical thing that is an alpha and omega to writing. But, if you have developed the habit of managing your day with a poor sleep, your concentration span will be very short and every time you focus, it will wear off quite soon.

You need to get enough sleep every night. Realize that forcing yourself to stay up longer doesn't always give the edge on getting things done.
Everyone needs a different amount of sleep, figure out how many hours you need to feel well-rested and awake. Many people need 6-9 hours every night. Sleep gives your brain a chance to power down and fully rest everything that you taught yourself and saw for the day. Treat it as a priority, because it is one.
