It will have an impact on the body. A study published by the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that if you sleep less than 6 hours every night for a week, the functions of 765,438+065,438+0 genes in the human body will change. These genes involve metabolism, inflammation, immunity and anti-stress ability.
