yes it can i had a month of really bad sleep and my oura ring was showing 20 minutes or less of deep sleep and less than an hour of REM. I had body aches joint pains, headaches everyday I felt so anxious and stressed and i had depersonalization and brain fog. I wasn't functioning. I stopped caffeine as well and when my sleep started getting better most if not all my problems went away. I started seeing 2-3 hours of REM and 2 hours of deep sleep and when i had this for a week consistently, my body repaired. The chronic fatigue i had and just horrible pain and wild anxiety and depression also subsided. SLEEP is the most important non-negotiable part of my life now

So can we sue the fire department because we have 2-day works and two night works and most of the time we're pulling 24-hour shifts😂😂. The sleep issues are really bad and especially at 54. It's catching up with me
