There are times when we miss out on our chance to have a good night’s rest and have long periods of sleep.
It may be difficult to attain for some because we can only do so much in 24 hours.
The effectiveness of maintaining your sleeping habits might need proper discipline to successfully improve it.
Here are some of the factors that you can start assessing:
- Napping on unusual schedules
- Not having comfortable sleeping surroundings
- Screens that may interrupt your sleep such as using mobile phones, tablets, iPad, TVs, or playing video games.
1. Fluctuating weight
When we fail to have a good night of sleep, our body tries to make up for it by eating.
An increase in appetite can progress and if not prevented may eventually lead to weight gain.
2. It Enhances your Immune System
Sleeping at least 7 hours every night can help you reduce the risk of having colds compared to those who don’t sleep much.
3. Improves your mental health
It may be more difficult to manage your stress and anxiety if you don’t watch your sleeping pattern.
A study explained that people who have trouble sleeping have a higher chance of developing anxiety or even depression.
4. Elevates your concentration, productivity, and creativity
One important thing you should know is that our brain loves a good long rest.
If we give our brain the chance to reset it will return the favor and give us access to use our brain effectively.
Here’s a study explaining how much it affects our productivity in the workplace.
5. Reduces the health risks of stroke, diabetes, and inflammation
Poor sleep can cause your weight to fluctuate and may increase your appetite.
If not averted, it may develop heart disease, increased inflammation, and metabolic syndrome.
Eventually, it may lead to stroke and even cancer.
