The Importance of Good Sleep

Written by:  Jamie

The effects on lack of sleep can be detrimental to your health and cause other problems. Getting a good nights sleep can boost your immune system, decrease your chance of getting diabetes, and help you live longer. Sleep is a very important part of keeping your body maintained.

High Blood Pressure 
Lack of sleep can lead to high blood pressure, especially if you get less than six hours a night. It seems that sleep helps the blood in your body regulate stress hormones. Over a period of time, loosing sleep could hamper the ability of regulating these stress hormones, which can lead to high blood pressure.

Weight Gain 
Keeping weight off always seems to be a problem and sleep loss can compound the situation. There are hunger hormones called ghrelin and ones that activate fullness feeling named leptin. A lack of sleep will activate the hunger hormones more while suppressing leptin. It seems that those with sleep issues consume approximately 300 more calories per day than normal.

Stroke and Heart Problems 
The body produces chemicals and hormones that can lead to strokes and heart attacks for those with chronic sleep loss. For those with sleep deprivation, there is a 48 percent better chance of developing heart disease and a 15 percent greater chance of having a stroke.

Headaches 
A lack of sleep can produce tension headaches and migraines in many people. Tension headaches usually cause mild to moderate pain while migraines can cause disabling pain and could last for days. This can disrupt your life and those around you. Proper sleep patterns can help reduce the risk of headaches.

Fertility 
Not getting enough sleep can also cause problems with fertility rates. Conceiving a child can be affected since this reduces secretion of the reproductive hormones. Both men and women can experience the loss of hormones, which can reduce the conception chances for couples wanting to have a baby.

Moodiness 

Sleep deprivation will affect your mood, balance, and ability to think clear throughout the day. This can cause problems at home, school, or work. Being irritable every day can cause relationship problems that could possibly lead to a divorce.
daily activities. Start sleeping better and improve the quality of your life now.

 

Buying a new mattress could help you get more quality sleep which will improve both your health and mood. Sleep is a very important part of life since it helps recover from stress that is acquired from daily activities. Start sleeping better and improve the quality of your life now.
