Many people enjoy nighttime activities such as watching dramas, working, playing games, or using their phones, which leaves little time for rest and sleep. They still have to wake up early for morning activities, resulting in sleep deprivation. This can lead to several negative effects, such as reduced concentration, feeling fatigued easily, getting tired quickly, difficulty in controlling emotions, and increased irritability.
If sleep deprivation continues long-term, it may weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to illness or increasing the risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. It also affects memory, learning, and critical thinking processes, which are essential for students and working individuals.
Compensating for Sleep Deprivation
Many people believe that after staying up late for an extended period, they can catch up on sleep over the weekend. However, this method does not effectively resolve sleep deprivation. Therefore, it’s important to allow sufficient time for proper rest. Aim for quality sleep, avoid staying up late, and ensure you get enough sleep for good health.
Lack of sleep or trying to compensate for missed sleep not only fails to provide any benefit but also affects essential hormones that regulate appetite, leading to increased hunger and irregular eating habits. The body’s digestive system becomes imbalanced, which may result in fat accumulation around the waist, abnormal cholesterol levels, high blood sugar, and elevated blood pressure. This also increases the risk of heart disease, reduced brain oxygen supply, and diabetes.
