How Lack Of Sleep Affects Your Mental & Physical Health?
by Dr. Sanjeet Diwan Best Psychiatrist in BhopalMost of the people out there need nothing less than
seven to eight hours of sleep every night. But, some people sleep very little
and experience no trouble due to lack of sleep. This is because we all are
different. The system of your body works differently than others. The point is
that some people are more resistant to sleep deprivation than others. However,
for the majority of the people out there, seven to eight hours of sleep per
night is a must. Else, it can lead to many physical and mental health
conditions, including but not limited to obesity, heart disease,
diabetes, depression, anxiety, stress
and that’s just the beginning. In this blog post, we have listed down a couple
of problems that you might experience due to lack of sleep. So, without wasting
any time, let us have a look at them in brief:
1 – Obesity
The urge to grab chips and cookies at late nights
does not just occur out of the blue. This is the fault of hormonal imbalance
that takes place due to lack of sleep. The lack of sleep depletes the level of
a hormone called leptin that fuels the fire of appetite in us and tricks our
brain to make us feel hungry, compelling us to grab chips, cookies, and other
easily available foods that makes us obese.
2 – Depression
Being one of the best psychiatrists in Bhopal,
we would like to inform you that depression and lack of sleep go hand-in-hand.
People, who go to bed late at night, for instance, after 12 O’clock, are more
vulnerable to a bad mood, fatigue, and zest for life. Sleep deprivation makes
our mental health weaker which often leads us to depression.
3 – Heart disease
The hormones that contribute to stress in our body
are found high among the people who feel sleepy most of the time. The high
level of stress hormone in the body is deadly for our heart as it can give rise
to many irreversible heart diseases. Lack of sleep can also lead to high blood
pressure.
Final Words:
We suggest that you take nothing less than seven to
eight hours of sleep every night to stay on the safer side. Despite all your
efforts, you are not being able to fall asleep at the right time, consider
seeing a psychiatrist as you might
have a sleep disorder.
