Can Sleep Deprivation Affect Your Oral Hygiene Efforts?

When you struggle with daily fatigue, it can become difficult to take on tasks that have previously offered up little trouble. While you might be well aware of how fatigue is affecting you when it comes to work, or how it affects your mood, you may not realize just how much trouble it can cause for your oral health. People who frequently feel exhausted due to a lack of sleep can feel especially tired at the bookends of their day – in other words, at the times when they tend to brush and floss. Because of this, their routine may become less effective because they are frequently distracted, or because they simply feel too tired to take care of their smile.
