10 Signs You Are Sleep Deprived by latinojives(m): 10:42pm On Aug 06, 2014 |
After taking a final glance at https://www.nairaland.com/1844415/how-much-sleep-enough-sleep, what bothered me more was the fact that even kids don't get enough sleep either, so we are, as it were, being raised in cultures of sleep deprivation. Little wonder there is an increase in number of people managing hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. If you’re getting less than eight hours of sleep each night, chances are you’re sleep deprived.The tell tale signs are; [img]http://www.personal.psu.edu/afr3/blogs/siowfa13/sleep.jpg[/img] Always counting on an alarm clock in order to wake up on time You just love punching that snooze button You have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning You feel sluggish in the afternoons You are frequently sleepy in meetings, lectures, or warm rooms Drowsiness after heavy meals or when driving Need to nap to get through the day Falling asleep while watching TV or relaxing in the evening Feel the need to sleep in on weekends Fall asleep within five minutes of going to bed Sounds like most of us right? We are so used to this symptoms that they don’t look like a big deal. You probably have no idea just how much lack of sleep is affecting you. The effects include: Fatigue, lethargy, and lack of motivation Moodiness and irritability Reduced creativity and problem-solving skills Inability to cope with stress Reduced immunity; frequent colds and infections Concentration and memory problems Weight gain Impaired motor skills and increased risk of accidents Difficulty making decisions Increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other health problems Ever noticed how when you’re short on sleep you crave sugary foods that give you a quick energy boost? There’s a good reason for that. Sleep deprivation has a direct link to overeating and weight gain. There are two hormones in your body that regulate normal feelings of hunger and fullness. Ghrelin stimulates appetite, while leptin sends signals to the brain when you are full. However, when don’t get the sleep you need, your ghrelin levels go up, stimulating your appetite so you want more food than normal, and your leptin levels go down, meaning you don’t feel satisfied and want to keep eating. So, the more sleep you lose, the more food your body will crave. If these symptoms and effects speak to you, your resolve should be to get some more hours of sleep at night. Go to bed early if you must, and reduce distractions in the room (TV on, music, etc) so you can get as much deep sleep as possible. You will feel much better, and your long term health will be improved. Source: www.salverelifestyl.com 31 Likes |
