“A modest amount of sleep loss (restricting the time allowed for sleep to 4 hours for one night) reduced natural killer (NK) cell activity to an average of 72%, compared with NK cell activity in participants who had a full night&#x27;s sleep” [1]<p>In other words even one night of sleep deprivation significantly impairs your immune system.

And I was quite surprised to see that the upper 20% were making more of their income off salaries than before.<p>I had been trying to make profits off investing&#x2F;businesses at that point, but it made me realize the best ROI might just be getting a better job. At least until I&#x27;m in the top 20% and can invest it into something.

All of the data and stats in Hans Rosling&#x27;s Factfulness.<p>It essentially changed the way I look at data, and more importantly, how to carefully draw the right conclusions. Especially with those reported by regular media.
