Too
little Too Late... Not with Sleep Deprivation. Many people around the world
sleep less than the appropriate numbers of hours (Refer to my post from
November 13, 2018). We know that about 40% of us do.
However,
not many people know that sleep deprivation can cause serious health issues.
Not just issues with focus, but other parts of our bodies. A recent study
published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine shows that insufficient
sleep was associated with an unhealthy lifestyle among children and teenagers
in this study.
We
know that too little sleep all around the world can cause poor diets, more
screen time, and more children/teenagers that are obese or overweight. It does
not only stop there, but poor decision making and lapses in memory can also be
affected. Parents (and other adults) your sex drive may also be affected.
It
is never too late to increase your amount of sleep. It may even save your life.
I leave you with this:
“Early
to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” ― Benjamin
Franklin

it.
