Sleep deprivation or
lack of enough sleeping time has been overlooked by so many people though it
has tremendous impact on healthy living and the functional efficacy of the
human cells and organs. One of the major causes of frequent body weakness and
low brain function is due to either lack of enough sleeping time or no sleep at
all. Sleep is as important to the body as oxygen is of immense importance to
human existence thus the quality of sleep u are able to engage in would reflect
in the quality of life and functionality of your body system.

Benefits of observing quality sleeping time

Poor Sleep Can
Make You add weight than
Poor sleeping habit is strongly linked to weight gain
as people with short sleep duration tend to weigh significantly more than those
who get adequate sleep. In fact, short sleep duration is one of the strongest risk factors for occurrence of obesity.
In one massive review study, children and adults with short sleep duration were
89% and 55% more likely to become obese. The effect of sleep on weight gain is
believed to be mediated by numerous factors, including hormones and motivation
to exercise. If you are trying to lose tremendous weight,
getting quality sleeping time is absolutely crucial.

Good Sleep Can Improve Concentration and
Productivity
Sleep
is immensely important for various aspects of brain function. This includes
cognition, concentration, productivity and performance. All of these are
negatively affected by sleep deprivation. A medical study on student provides a
good example. Interns on a “traditional schedule” made 36% more serious medical
errors than interns on a schedule that allowed more sleep. Another study found
short sleep can negatively impact some aspects of brain function to a similar
degree as alcohol intoxication.
According to an international research conducted by the
National Sleep Foundation, up to 26% of people say that their sex lives tend to
suffer because they're just too tired. There's evidence that in men, impaired sleep can be
associated with lower testosterone levels
-- although the exact nature of the link isn't clear. Of course, not getting
enough sleep can affect your love life in less direct ways too.

Less pain.
If you have extreme pain or acute pain from a
recent injury getting enough sleeping time may actually make you hurt less.
Many studies have shown a link between sleep loss and lower pain threshold.
Unfortunately, being in pain can make it hard to sleep. Researchers have found
that getting good sleep can supplement medication for pain. If pain is keeping
you up at night, there are also medications available that combine a pain reliever with a sleep
aid.
