7–9 Hours of Nightly Sleep

Aim for a consistent, uninterrupted block of nighttime sleep, usually around 7 to 9 hours for most adults, with extra time when sick, recovering, or under heavy cognitive load. The emphasis is on sleep quality and continuity, not just total hours, because consolidated deep and REM sleep supports learning and memory consolidation, immune function, hormone balance, stress resilience, and overall recovery.

So I would say sleep, alcohol, high perceived stress, eating the wrong foods, toxic relationships and isolation.
