Getting enough sleep does matter. I was thinking a few nights ago about where you said ordinary people have always known that sleep is critical for good health, but doctors aren't much bothered. It's obvious that lack of sleep makes you feel awful. There's so many repair processes that go on while we sleep that surely the body can't function properly without it. On days where I've had little sleep my eyelids and guts feel raw. I once read that epithelial cells are shed and replaced during sleep, and that's what I've always associated it with.
I found this a few weeks ago. Looks to be an American Heather Ashton wannabe:
