This 10 Losses due to Sleep Deprivation
Cancer August 12th, 2010
- you never feel cranky and dizzy? Maybe it’s due to lack of sleep. Do not ever take for granted this state! Lack of sleep can affect your sex life, memory, health, appearance, and even make your body “stretchy”.
Here are 10 surprising things that happen due to lack of sleep:
1. Accident
Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest disasters in the history of factors other than nuclear accidents at Three Mile Island in 1979, the biggest oil spill Exxon Valdez, Chernobyl nuclear crisis in 1986, and others.
Sound excessive, but you must realize the lack of sleep also affects your safety every day on the road. Drowsiness can slow your time driving, the equivalent of when you’re drunk at the wheel.
A study by the Institute of Traffic Safety National Highway America shows that fatigue is a cause of car accidents and 100 000 deaths during the year 1500 in the U.S.. The Sacrifice, a person under the age of 25 years.
The same study shows, if you lack sleep or have a low-quality sleep, it can cause accidents and injuries at work. In one study, workers who complain of excessive daytime drowsiness vulnerable injured while working and constantly experience the same accident while working.
2. Concentrations decreased
A good sleep plays an important role in thinking and learning. Lack of sleep can affect many things. First, interfering with alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem-solving. This makes learning difficult and inefficient. Secondly, the sleep cycle at night play a role in “strengthening” of memory in the mind. If not enough sleep, then you will not be able to remember what you learned and experienced during the day.
3. Serious health problems
Sleep disorders and chronic sleep deprivation can lead you step on the risk:
* Heart Disease
* Heart attack
* Heart failure
* Irregular heartbeat
* High blood pressure
* Stroke
* Diabetes
According to some studies, 90 percent of people with insomnia, sleep disorder characterized by difficulty sleeping and stayed awake all night-also experienced a similar health risks.
4. Decreased sex drive
The experts reported that sleep deprivation in male and female libido and reduce the urge to have sex. This is due to depleted energy, drowsiness, and rising tension.
For men who suffer from sleep apnea (breathing problems during sleep disturbing) lack of sleep cause sexual arousal sluggish. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in 2002 showed that almost all people who suffer from sleep apnea have lower levels of testosterone. Nearly half of people who suffer from severe sleep apnea have a low testosterone level at night.
5. Causing depression
In a 1997 study, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania reported that people who sleep less than five hours per day for seven days led to stress, anger, sadness, and mental fatigue. In addition, lack of sleep and sleep disorders can cause symptoms of depression.
The most common sleep disorder is insomnia, which has strong links with depression. In the 2007 study involving 10,000 people revealed that people with insomnia five times more susceptible to depression. In fact, insomnia is often one of the first symptoms of depression.
Insomnia and no appetite due to depression are related. Sleep deprivation exacerbates depressive symptoms and depression makes you more difficult to sleep. On the positive side, a good sleep pattern can help treat depression.
6. Influence skin health
Most people have pale skin and puffy eyes after a few sleepless nights. That situation was due to a chronic lack of sleep can lead to dull skin, fine lines on the face, and dark circles under the eyes.
If you are not getting enough sleep, your body release more stress hormones or cortisol. In excessive amounts, cortisol can break down skin collagen or proteins that keep skin smooth and elastic.
Sleep deprivation can also cause the body less growth hormone release. When we were young, human growth hormone encourages the growth. In this case, the hormone that helps increase muscle mass, skin thicken, and strengthen bones.
“This occurs when the body is sleeping soundly-which we call a slow wave sleep (SWS), growth hormone is released,” said Phil Gehrman, PhD, CBSM, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical Director of Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
7. Forgetful
Do not want to forget the best memories in your life? Try to multiply sleep. In 2009, researchers from America and France found that the events of the brain called sharp wave ripples responsible strengthen memory in the brain. This event also transfer information from the hippocampus to the neocortex in the brain, where long-term memories are stored. Sharp wave ripples occur mostly during sleep.
8. Body to be “stretched”
If you ignore the effects of sleep deprivation, so be prepared with the threat of being overweight. Lack of sleep associated with increased hunger and appetite, and possibly could become obese. According to a 2004 study, nearly 30 percent of those who slept less than six hours a day tend to be more obese than those who slept seven to nine hours a day.
Recent research has focused on the relationship between sleep and peptides that regulate appetite. Ghrelin stimulates hunger and satiety signals of leptin to the brain and stimulate the appetite. Short sleep time was associated with decreased leptin and an increase in ghrelin.
Lack of sleep not only stimulate the appetite. It also stimulates the desire to eat fatty foods and foods high in carbohydrates. The ongoing research conducted to investigate whether adequate sleep should be a standard part of a weight-loss program.
9. Increase the risk of death
In his second Whitehall study, British researchers discover how sleep patterns affect mortality rates of more than 10,000 British civil servants over the past two decades. Based on the results of research published in 2007, those who have been sleeping less than 5-7 hours a day increased the risk of death due to various factors. Even the lack of sleep increased two-fold risk of death from cardiovascular disease.
10. Particularly damaging assessment of sleep
Lack of sleep can affect the interpretation of the events. State’s limp body to make we can not judge the situation accurately and wisely. Your lack of sleep is very vulnerable to a bad rating when it comes time to assess what is missing something.
In a fast paced world today, sleep habits become a kind of badge of honor. Specialists on the bed saying, you’re wrong if you think you are fine despite lack of sleep because no matter where you work in any profession, will be a big problem if you can not judge things well.
“Studies show that from time to time, people who slept for six hours instead of seven or eight hours a day, began to feel that they have adapted to the circumstances lack of sleep. They’re used to it,” says Gehrman.
“But if you look at the results of tests of mental performance and alertness, their value continues to deteriorate. It explains how sleep deprivation interfere with our daily activities.

Observations during 10 years showed no significant increased risk for both types of these tumors. Although it does not increase, higher risk was found in participants’ most severe category.
Participants in that category have a 40 percent higher risk for glioma tumors, and 15 percent higher for meningioma tumors. But researchers could not conclude the causality of the observations.
“Indeed there is no increased risk, but can not be concluded that there was no effect at all,” said Elisabeth Cardis who led the research.
For that Cardis suggest the existence of further research, especially among the young. According to Cardis, the EU is now funding similar research among children and adolescents.
This research also notes that the latest phones have a relatively lower emissions. In addition, the growing popularity of SMS technology and a handsfree device (hands free) has much lower levels of radiation to the head.
The research cost 19.2 million euros. From these figures, the telecommunications industry contributed around 5.5 million euros.
