    Irregular Sleeping Patterns can lead to these Negative Consequences

    Lack of sleep can cause cognitive difficulties, immune system deterioration, decreased sex drive, and weight gain.

    Digital Desk: Lack of
    sleep or irregular sleeping patterns may lead to a number of health issues. 



    Approximately, one in three
    American adults does not get enough sleep, as per the American Academy of
    Sleep Medicine (AASM). 

    While sleep disruptions might be inconvenient, a
    continuous lack of good sleep can have an adverse effect on a person's ability to
    function normally, their quality of life, and their health.



    The amount of sleep that
    is ideal for each person varies. Adults should sleep for 7 to 9 hours per
    night, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the
    United States.



    Lack of sleep can cause
    cognitive difficulties, immune system deterioration, decreased sex drive, and
    weight gain.



    If you don't get enough
    sleep, you may also be more likely to get certain illnesses, develop diabetes,
    or even be involved in a car accident.



    Experts believe that
    compared to people who sleep better, those who don't get enough sleep or have
    disordered sleep patterns may have a greater mortality rate. People who sleep
    too little or too late have an increased chance of developing cardiovascular
    problems.



     These are the harmful effects of improper sleep:

    Lack of sleep may contribute to illnesses including diabetes, heart disease,
    stroke, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, etc.

    Affected

    capacity for proper comprehension, making it challenging to respond logically
    to events or situations. Your capacity to decide in certain situations may
    possibly be impacted.

    mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">Numerous studies have shown that people who get less
    sleep are more likely to be overweight. 

    mso-bidi-font-weight:bold">According to WebMD, sleep deprivation
    causes weight gain because it makes you eat more since your levels of the
    hormone leptin are low. Leptin levels decrease when you are sleep deprived,
    which causes you to overeat. This hormone tells the brain to cease eating. Lack
    of sleep also inhibits metabolism, which results in weight gain.
