Growing List of Health Risks From Lack Of Sleep...
Dear Reader,
Sleep is finally getting the respect it deserves. More and more of us are realizing that to stay healthy, to feel better; to be alert and ready for anything, we need our sleep. Though experts say there is no "magic number" in terms of how much sleep you should be getting, Lisa Shives, MD, medical director of Northshore Sleep Medicine near Chicago puts that upper number at 8.5 hours a night. Different age groups need different amounts, and sleep needs change over our lifetime.
Cutting just one hour a night, over time, can have significant impact on your thinking and mood. And in our got-to-be-everywhere, over-scheduled world, where technology is always on and accessible, it's easy to see why sleep falls by the wayside. The thing is, doing this to our bodies over the long haul sets us up form some pretty nasty health problems.
Here are seven to be worried about:
1. Obesity... even after one night of cheating yourself of sleep, the body's
balance of two key appetite hormones gets thrown off. Leptin, the good hormone,
goes
down, ghrelin, the bad hormone, goes up. The more ghrelin you have, the more
you want to eat. Even in the young, those who sleep less have an increased risk
of being overweight five years later.
2. Heart disease... without enough sleep your body has a higher level of stress
hormone and this is bad for you over the long run. These hormones can harm blood
vessels, they can bring on high blood pressure and this can lead to dangerous
heart disease. A growing body of evidence points to a strong association between
sleep deprivation and heart disease. If you have high blood pressure, cutting
sleep can make it worse. For men the effect is even stronger.
3. Diabetes... after one night of sleep deprivation the body has a difficult
time handling a glucose load and this (along with the appetite hormones leptin
and
ghrelin) was associated with diabetes in a 2007 study published in Sleep Medicine
Review. The link is complicated since diabetes is also tied to obesity, which
in turn is linked to lack of sleep.
4. Headaches... though the chemistry between headaches and lack of sleep isn't
clear, experts do know that headaches are a symptom of sleep deprivation. This
can be especially true for migraine sufferers.

Growing List of Health Risks From Lack Of Sleep... Continued...
5. Depression... the very same brain chemicals in your sleep-wake
cycle are also involved in our mood and energy. No one understands exactly how
they all work together, but we all know how bad we feel after an inadequate night's
sleep.
6. Lack of attention/Delayed reaction... cutting sleep has been
tied to decreases in all types of neurologic functions. Students do worse on
tests without enough sleep. Employees are more irritable to co-workers without
enough rest. Worse yet, getting behind the wheel when sleep deprived is all too
often a recipe for
a tragic accident.
7. Death... a May 2010 study published in Sleep found an association
between early death and both too little and too much sleep. The link is strongest
for men with sleep apnea, but it has also been tied to those who just sleep less
as a rule. There's no cause and effect proof here, but rather an association
that should
not be ignored.
Some people are better able to handle the effects of sleep deprivation than others,
though Stuart Quan, MD, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School's division
of sleep medicine believes looks are deceiving. These people may look just fine
on the outside, but metabolically they're not doing well and over time may come
to regret constantly depriving the body of the rest it needs.
To your good health,
