Adequate sleep is essential to fulfill as sleep patterns will greatly affect the health. Lack of sleep would be bad for health. Sleep, save energy, not only that but also save lives as well as age. Seriously, many diseases come if lack of sleep. Sleep ideal human body is about 8 hours a day, if the lack of it will cause less normal bodily functions.
Healthy sleep coveted by many, but if you always choose to sleep less than demand, so be prepared to deal with these risks
Research at the University of Chicago also found that fewer blind eye cause the level of cortisol, a stress hormone increase during the afternoon and evening, and causes increased heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose. It can increase the risk of hypertension, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Besides resulting in health problems in the future, cortisol comes in at a bad time is when you need a break to sleep.
Euro 2012 performances just ended, leaving drowsiness for those who watched the final match but had to get up early in the morning. For people who like to stay up and sleep less than 8 hours at night, symptoms of sleep deprivation ready to lurk. According to scientists, the effects of sleep deprivation is similar to the ill effects of stress.
When the body experiences stress, the immune system was responding in the same way as happens when people get less sleep. To understand the impact of sleep deprivation and how it reacts to the body, researchers compared the white blood cells of people who regularly slept for 8 hours with people who sleep less than eight hours or called lack of sleep.
In this study, researchers recruited 15 participants. All the participants were asked to sleep for 8 hours at night. In order for her to work in perfect condition, participants were asked to spend 15 minutes of outdoor time every 90 minutes when the daylight hours. Participants were also asked to abstain from alcohol, caffeine and drugs.
At the next session, participants were asked to stay awake for 29 hours. Blood samples were then taken at each stage. The researchers found that white blood cells in the blood increased in number during the phase of sleep deprivation.
"Granulocytes reacted immediately when the body is experiencing symptoms like sleep deprivation and direct the body's response when under stress," says Katrin Ackermann, a postdoctoral researcher at Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam in the Netherlands as reported by Medical Daily, Monday (07/02/2012).
Ackerman hopes, subsequent studies in the future will find the molecular mechanism behind this stress response and explain its role in the development of diseases associated with symptoms of chronic sleep deprivation. Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that nearly one-third of Americans sleep less.
Lack of sleep itself known to be associated with an increased risk of stroke, cancer and obesity. People who are sleep deprived or disturbed biological clock generally have worse health conditions than people who sleep normal hours.
"If confirmed with more data, these findings will have implications in clinical practice and the professions related to lack of sleep for a long time, for example in people who often work the night shift," said Ackermann.
