5 Negative Effects Of Sleep-Deprivation
How the lack of sleep gets the worst of you.
Remember those days when you slept well, and you were happier? When you also felt healthier and used to get more done each day without feeling overburnt?
Somewhere down the line, you must have lost the ability to get a good night's sleep. And that's so bad because sleep is the way nature repairs your body. Without sleep, you'll be running on fumes soon enough.
You've heard it before. You need to get more sleep. But maybe you need to understand what goes on in your body while your sleep debt goes up? That way, you might feel more inclined to sleep on it and give it a go.
Here's what's happening under the hood when you don't get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night regularly.
1. You're not pleasant company, and you know it
When you're tired, you're cranky. You're less compassionate about other people's needs.
Your brain is so slow that you might even not get a good joke (yeah, can you imagine that?) You might pick up fights for the stupidest reasons. Or get into a fight in entirely avoidable circumstances.
Being tired brings out the worst of you. And your family and friends would deserve the best of you…
