Are we getting enough sleep every day?
Experts say adults need at least 7 hours of sleep every night, but according to Sleep Foundation, “more than one-third of adults sleep less than seven hours per night, on average.” This is linked to feelings of tiredness, lower levels of productivity, mental health conditions, and generally poor overall well-being.
If we only get the ideal length and quality of sleep every night, what could we expect to experience?
1. A Boost to the Immune System Sleep restores our body, repairs our tissues, and cells, and improves our overall functioning. Inadequate sleep causes individuals to be more prone to illnesses and infections and can lead to immunodeficiency.
2. Amplified Cognitive Ability Enough and quality sleep improves one’s memory and mental capabilities. It leads to improved concentration, productivity, decision-making, and problem-solving.
3. Achieving One’s Ideal Weight Studies reveal that sleeping for at least seven hours per night decreases the risk of weight gain and a higher body mass index (BMI). It also most likely leads to obesity, as sleep deprivation increases ghrelin levels and decreases leptin levels, which causes one to overeat because they feel hungrier than they actually are.
4. Decreased Risk for Mental Health Problems Depression is one of the mental health problems directly associated with poor sleep quality and insufficient length of sleep. Some sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea and insomnia, are also directly linked to higher rates of depression.
5. Lower Heart Disease Risk Getting adequate sleep is linked to a well-maintained and regulated blood pressure, which ensures that the heart is functioning at its fullest all the time. Insufficient sleep leads to hypertension, which is a risk factor for heart disease.
