Consequences of a Bad Sleeping Habit
#Health
Doncha know what really happens when you don't sleep well? I'll tell ya.
Along with just simply physical recovery, our body does a lot of vital things under the hood.
It tunes the equilibrium state for the infinite number of internal processes to sustain homeostasis, including hormonal and immune systems.
During sleep, the brain processes things from short-term to long-term memory.
According to some researches, our brain produces metabolites during the day, and it washes them out with cerebrospinal fluid during a good sleep. (I'm not exactly sure if it is already proved, but still)
Humans are the only known creatures that put themselves into sleep deprivation. How do sleep disorders affect us?
Inadequate sleep has been associated with a variety of health problems. Not getting enough sleep in the short-term leads to fatigue, impaired learning and memory, and irritability.
Sleep deprivation destroys our ability to focus and literally damages our body and mind
Most of the tissue growth happens only during the deep sleep phases.
Tweaking the immune system includes looking for a balance between strong enough to fight microbes and cancer cells and not too angry to cause autoimmune or allergic diseases.
During sleep, we tweak the hormone system that controls almost everything in our body, starting from stress levels and ending with appetite and blood glucose levels.
The consequences of doing all those things wrong start from anxiety and depression and end up with the world's first-class killers, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and other infections that could take place due to a weak immune system.
Bad sleeping habit during the whole life is like an enormous debt you have no way to pay back when the payday comes.
