How Sleep Deprivation Can Severely Impact Quality of Life
When we are deprived of quality sleep it can severely impact our physical and psychological well-being. While no branch of science or medicine fully understands everything about sleep, we do know all humans and animals require it. Requirements vary based on our activities, age, and state of health.
Usually mild to moderate sleep loss, or even lack of restorative sleep, is not always obvious. However, over time, such sleep deprivation can severely erode one’s health. In fact, research consistently demonstrates that chronic sleep interruption, or lack of restorative sleep, increases stress hormones, destabilizes blood sugar, interrupts cell and tissue repair mechanisms, and decreases growth hormones, as well as other hormones critical to health at all ages.
In such cases, the body does its best to make up for lost sleep by “up regulating” itself, which in turn leads to a vicious cycle of overstimulation, metabolic overdrive, catabolic breakdown, and collapse of all the feel-good neurochemicals in the brain that allows a person to be happy, calm, well-adjusted, focused, and productive.
