31.10.2023 22:01

Almost every person at least several times in their life was forced to give up a good night's sleep due to one or another objective reason.

If this happens extremely rarely, then there is no point in talking about a strong destructive effect on the body.

If you regularly deprive yourself of the opportunity to have a normal rest, then this has its consequences.

What to be prepared for

Heart disease

Not everyone knows that regular lack of sleep is one of the dominant causes of problems with the cardiovascular system, experts note.

This is especially true for people who, due to their work responsibilities, are forced not to sleep at night.

In such cases, the risk of disease becomes much higher.

Diabetes

Not everyone knows that lack of adequate sleep can lead to blood sugar spikes. If sleep deprivation is chronic, you can "earn" diabetes.

Excess weight

Not everyone knows that lack of sleep contributes to hormonal imbalances. It is worth noting that there is a high risk of ghrelin production, which causes overeating.
