8 consequences of insufficient sleep

Sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on your mind and body. The human body needs at least six to eight hours of comfortable, continuous sleep every night to restore health and keep organs healthy and functioning properly. Not getting enough sleep can severely impact overall health and well-being.

Long periods of insufficient sleep can lead to the following concerns:

  • Premature aging
  • Increased risk of diabetes
  • Weakened immune system
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Unintentional weight gain and obesity
  • Loss of concentration and impaired memory
  • Increased likelihood of mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety
  • Higher risk of cardiac problems such as hypertension, arrhythmia, and stroke

If you have trouble sleeping or experience any of the above concerns, consult a physician.
