A person needs stable and high-quality sleep every day.

Otherwise, his body simply will not recover and will begin to have a harder time coping with stress and other problems.

But these are not all the disadvantages.

If you don’t have the opportunity to get enough sleep, you become lethargic, lose your ability to work, and there is also a risk that the aging process will start earlier.

Also during sleep, melatonin is produced - an important hormone that improves immunity and fights inflammation.

If there is a deficiency of it, there is a risk of developing cancer. This is proven by various medical studies.

Oncologist Ivan Karasev spoke about this on his Telegram channel.

In the context of the connection between hormones and cancer, experts have conducted many different experiments.

It turned out that the risk of developing colon, ovarian and breast cancer is higher in those who do not get enough sleep at night.
