- Impaired Cognitive Function: Sleep deprivation can severely affect your cognitive abilities. You might experience difficulties with memory, attention, and decision-making. Reaction times slow down, making tasks like driving or operating machinery dangerous.
- Weakened Immune System: A lack of sleep will compromise your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
- Increased Risk of Chronic Conditions: Long-term sleep deprivation is linked to a higher risk of developing chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Sleep plays a crucial role in regulating metabolic and cardiovascular health.
- Mental Health Issues: Persistent lack of sleep can contribute to mental health problems, including increased stress, anxiety, and depression. Sleep is essential for emotional regulation and mental well-being.
- Poor Physical Performance: Without adequate rest, your physical performance can decline. You may experience decreased strength, coordination, and endurance. This can affect your ability to exercise, perform daily tasks
- Turn you into a zombie: We do not want that do we?
