How Does Sleep Deprivation Affect the Body?

Apart from the usual consequences, sleep deprivation has several inherently harmful effects on your body. It can secretly disturb your brain functions and impair your memory. 

Persistent lack of sleep can also weaken your immune system. It can elevate cortisol levels, a stress hormone, which may further worsen your sleep habits. All of this together can lead you to the condition called insomnia. 

People already suffering from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and any vascular diseases need to be more vigilant. Understanding the easy symptoms of sleep deprivation may help you counter it fast.

Symptoms That You May Have Sleep Deprivation

It thus becomes quite necessary to address sleep deprivation with a proper combating mindset. Following doctor Priyanka's advice can help you to get a good sleep if you are suffering from conditions like;

• Persistent fatigue throughout the day
• Difficulty in concentration
• Frequent headaches
• A slowed reaction time
• Daytime sleepiness and irritability

Sleep deprivation, therefore, can be a breeding ground for many upcoming issues. But following Dr. Priyanka's footsteps, you can try to improve your sleep quality.
