The dangers of chronic sleep deprivation: a neurologist's answer
A person needs to get enough sleep so that his body can recover and cope with stress more easily.
If there is a constant lack of sleep, this will negatively affect your health.
Neurologist Elena Tsareva spoke about this in more detail during a conversation with representatives of the publication “ Moscow 24 ”.
As the specialist noted, cognitive functions suffer first. A person becomes less attentive, memory deteriorates.
In addition, the immune system suffers.
After a sleepless night, there is always a greater risk of catching an illness.
Metabolic processes also suffer. There may be disruptions in the digestive and circulatory systems. In this case, there is a risk of obesity, vascular and heart diseases, as well as gastrointestinal diseases.
The causes of sleep problems may be anxiety, lack of exercise, daytime sleep, etc. If insomnia bothers you for a long time, you should seek help from doctors.
