Physiological Lack of Sleep Side Effects
I could choose to rant on and on with the side effects of lack of sleep. Lack of sleep causes headaches, lack of sleep causes depression, lack of sleep causes lack of energy, lack of sleep causes a lot more. Let's find out.
- Lack of sleep can cause acute muscle pains. You may have experienced this offhand after a night of incomplete sleep.
- Dizziness, nausea and headaches are well known side effects of lack of sleep. These side effects are tangible even after two consistent nights without much sleep.
- Irritability is probably the first visible side effect of lack of sleep. It is normal for someone who hasn't slept well at night to be irritable the next day.
- Memory loss and hallucinations are also acute lack of sleep side effects. In fact, the sad part about these side effects is that when you complain about it, seldom will someone believe you, right?
- A person having sleep deprivation is much more susceptible to having diabetes type 2 as compared to someone who gets the required amount of sleep.
- In fact, it has been researched and found that lack of sleep side effects at an acute level, resemble those of psychosis or attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome. Yes, scary!
All these lack of sleep side effects are visible. However, there are worse manifestations of lack of sleep side effects.
Serious Lack of Sleep Side Effects
Other than depression, lack of sleep side effects can be much more serious. Let's see.
- Lack of sleep suppresses the growth hormones and lead to higher levels of reaction to stress, urges for sex, immune system, moods, etc. This means that the individual starts losing his "self control".
- Sleep deprivation and psychosis have been closely linked by many studies. A person suffering from sleep deprivation is very much susceptible to being psychotic. And I don't mean this in an exaggerated manner.
- Lack of sleep side effects also rule over our healing abilities. Yes, lack of adequate REM and NREM sleep causes a slag in our ability in healing wounds. Lack of sleep effects also include affects on the immune system, hence, making it tougher to fight away diseases.
- This is something that almost everybody may have noticed. If you have not slept a night, you will find it difficult to perform your activities the next day. Lack of sleep causes impairment of abilities. This is what makes you clumsy or "butter-fingered" the next day.
- It has also been found that a lack of sleep side effect that has been under the radar for a while now, is obesity. So, not only is healthy eating required to avoid obesity, but also adequate sleep.
