Sleep Deprivation and Its Effects
Most, even not all, every people around the world suffer
fromsleep deprivationat least one point
in their lives. Although known for some time in a span of years
is fine, as this may be mainly dueto changes in sleep and
wakefulness or jetlag. While experiencing sleep deprivation
regularly
(once a week, twice a month, etc.) or permanently can be a
serious problem. When the body is
not getting enough rest, there may have serious repercussions.
Both mind and body can beseriously affected by sleep
deprivation,especially when the person suffers everyday. Sleep
or
rest, an extremely basic necessity for us humans to function
properly (and yes, to live), helps the
body recover from everyday stress. Like a machine that breaks
due to overheating, the body of
complications when it is not getting enough rest. How sleep
deprivation affects us must be takenseriously, and sleep is no
joke.
There are many side effects when people are not sleeping enough.
The physiological effects may
include bags under the eyes, blurred vision, blindness, muscle
pain, weakened immune system,
headaches, fainting, nausea, dizziness, hypertension,
hyperactivity, increased the impatience andirritability, pale
complexion, weight gain or significant weight loss, severe yaw, and
many
others. How sleep deprivation affects us also include
depression, sleepiness and excessivedaytime sleepiness, slowed
mental activity and concentration, confusion or being out of
touchwith reality, forfeiture or loss of memory , nystagmus
(involuntary eye movements fast rhythm),
and slurry speech, among others. Usually, symptoms of sleep
deprivation are considered no
different from those with symptoms who have a hyperactivity
disorder or attention deficitdisorder alcohol intoxication.
Even with all these disorders, there is a chance that sleep
deprivation can affect the body's
metabolism of glucose, which can lead to diabetes. Sleep
deprivation has obvious effects on the
brain, and insomnia is always a negative for brain health and
wellbeing. Sleep deprivation canalso affect the growth of a person.
Insomnia can reduce production of cortisol the next day and it
can also suppress the production of growth hormones. human
growth hormone, in particular, is
the hormone that stimulates the repair and replacement of cells
and plays an important role in
keeping the complexion of the body young, energetic and sexually
driven. Growth hormones canalso make the mind sharper. Whenever
possible, the pituitary gland (which produces human
growth hormones) should never be blocked when it comes to their
production of hormones. The
problem with sleep deprivation is that it is extremely common,
and the effects are so numerous,and even dangerous. In addition to
lack of capacity, sleep deprivationcan also inhibit the body's
healing process. Studies have found links between sleep
deprivation and how the body heals, and
healing usually takes longer if the body is deprived of
sleep.
So always take care of your sleep time.Sleep deprivationcan be
extremely dangerous, and it isbest to get a good night's sleep. If
sleep disorders are the cause of sleep deprivation, immediately
consult a doctor.Sleep deprivation can adverselyaffect the brain
and cognitive function.
[18]A 2000 study, by theUCSD
School of Medicine and the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System in
San Diego, usedfunctional magnetic
resonance imaging(fMRI) technology to monitor activity in the
brains of sleep-deprived subjects
performing simple verbal learning tasks.[19]
The study showed that regions of the brain'sprefrontal
cortex,an area that supports mental faculties such asworking
memoryandlogicalandpractical
("means-ends") reasoning,displayed more activity in sleepier
subjects. Researchers interpreted this
