26 Memori
sleeping 4 hours a day can lead to what problems?
WE need approximately 8-10 hrs of quality sleep. Otherwise, inadequate hrs of sleep will lead to sleep deprivation or sleep debt.
Poll results show that while many Americans enjoy the benefits of sufficient sleep, as many as 47 million adults may be putting themselves at risk for injury, health and behavior problems because they aren't meeting their minimum sleep need in order to be fully alert the next day."
These statistics frighten me. The 2002 National Sleep Awareness Week this year emphasizes dangers such as drowsy driving, stress, anger and road rage. But the dangers of sleep deprivation go far beyond these visible risks. Sleep deprivation can, in fact, undermine all areas of your physical and mental health.
Sleep deprivation weakens the immune system leaving us more susceptible to other diseases and disorders like diabetes, cancer and even the common cold. It is not uncommon for people who suffer from sleep deprivation due to sleep disorders - sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, etc. - to also suffer from other problems including diabetes, asthma or a second sleep disorder.
Sleep deprivation also causes much stress and, again, stress weakens our immune system - a double whammy. And both of these things, sleep deprivation and stress, can upset your mental processes. You may suffer from confusion, memory loss, irritability or emotional highs and lows. If you already have a mental disorder, sleep deprivation only adds to the problem.
Many elderly people suffer from insomnia and other sleep disorders. For the elderly, sleep deprivation can be even more dangerous. Sleepy people are less focused on what they are doing or where they are going, and this could lead to falls or even to becoming lost on an unfamiliar street. Of course, added to other problems of the elderly, Alzheimer's, dementia, or even memory losses, and you have a real problem.
So, if you want to stay healthy, be sure you get the sleep you need. If it means a change in lifestyle like cutting out some of your activities or altering sleep habits, remember, if you don't have your health, you probably won't be participating in these activities anyway. If your lack of sleep comes from a sleep disorder, or even if you suspect you may have a sleep disorder, talk to your doctor and ask if he thinks you should have a sleep study done.
Sleep - it's one of life's essentials
It can cause daytime fatigue. It has been known to shorten one's life span. While you sleep, it gives the body a chance to recharge. it also cut down (catabolism) and build up new cells ( anabolism)
Practicing good bedtime habits is a necessity for good health. Some of these habits include:
· sleep in a cool room,
· sleep in a dark room,
· do not use the bedroom for work activities, for watching television.
· avoid heavy foods late at night.
· regular exercise during the daytime will promote sleep.
· sleep at regular times
· allowing yourself adequate time for sleep should be a priority
