10 Dangerous Side Effects Of Sleep Deprivation!
A lot of people sleep less than the recommended daily 7 to 8 hours.
And, despite the fact that 2 espressos and 2 cans of energy drink may help you finish
your work at 4 am with just 2 hours of sleep, when this turns into a habit, the risk of
your health deteriorating is much higher.
Our bodies need the 7 to 8 hours of sleep in order to rest and recover for the following
day.
When a person is deprived of sleep for a longer period of time, he or she will ultimately
experience issues with the memory, weight gain, etc.
If you didn't know the positive impacts of lack of sleep, take a look at the list
below:
Drowsiness
Sleep deprivation was a crucial factor in some of the biggest disasters in recent history
like the 1979 nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, the massive Exxon Valdex oil spill,
the 1986 nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl, and numerous others.
When a person is deprived of sleep, he/she becomes drowsy, which decreases reaction time
as much as driving drunk does.
According to studies, lack of sleep or poor quality of sleep may result in accidents and
injuries in the workplace.
Reduction in cognitive abilities
Sleep is pivotal for the processes of thinking and learning.
When you deny yourself from sleep, you cause issues with the attention, alertness, concentration,
reasoning, and the problem-solving abilities.
Cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke
When a person is deprived of sleep for a longer period of time, there is a higher risk of
the abovementioned health problems.
According to some data, 90% of insomniacs have another health issue too.
Suppressed sex drive
According to sleep professionals, women and men who were deprived of sleep reported reduction
in their sex drives and a disinterest in sex.
Other contributing aspects may be lack of energy, tension, etc.
Depression
Sleep deprivation and sleep disorders increase the risk of depression.
According to a poll from 2005 conducted in the USA, people who were diagnosed with anxiety
or depression slept less than 6 hours per day.
It makes you look older
Chronic lack of sleep may cause dark circles under the eyes, fine lines, puffy eyes, and
sallow skin.
During the phase of deep sleep, a growth hormone is released and it's a part of normal tissue
repair, however, when a person does not sleep enough, the release of this hormone is reduced
and thus, a person's face looks much older.
Loss of memory
Brain events known as sharp wave ripples are in charge of consolidating memory and they
also transfer learnt information from the hippocampus to the neocortex of the brain
where the long-lasting memories are stored.
These ripples occur during the deep levels of sleep.
Weight gain
Lack of sleep is closely connected with an increase in appetite and hunger and eventually,
obesity.
A 2004 research study revealed that people who slept less than 6 hours every day had
a 30% higher risk of obesity than the ones who slept 7 to 9 hours.
Impaired judgment
According to sleep specialists, people who chronically lack sleep might be more prone
to impaired judgment and wrong decisions.
This is especially a problem if you have a job position that requires your judgment.
Death
According to results of a study released in 2007, British civil servants who slept from
5 to 7 hours or fewer had a double chance of death from all causes, especially a risk
of death due to cardiovascular issues.
