Lack of sleep not only affects your ability to focus at work, but it can also affect your health on many levels.
Increased stress at work, lack of exercise, bad dieting and even technology can be factors that lead to sleep disorders. Fatigue, depression, memory issues, weight gain, and lack of intimacy are some of the side effects of shorter sleep periods, and a new study shows that lack of sleep could also increase the chance of a Heart attack or Stroke. The Journal of the American Heart Association released a new Research which shows that “The risk of mortality associated with MetS (metabolic syndrome) is increased in those with short sleep duration. Short sleep in individuals with MetS may be linked to greater central autonomic and metabolic dysfunction.” There are ways to prevent and to treat sleep deprivation, consult your doctor today and see what’s available for you.
