Here are five important reasons why you 
should probably go back to bed.

Sleep often gets overlooked. Common sayings like “sleep is for the weak!” and “I’ll sleep 
when I’m dead!” have given people a completely wrong view of how necessary sleep truly 
is. Sure, you might be tired the next day and have the classic, “woke up on the wrong side 
of the bed attitude,” but years of sleep research and studies have shown that it goes far 
beyond a bad mood. Our team did a deep-dive into the necessities of sleep so you don’t 
have to: here’s what we found.

Sleep can strongly effect your mood, attitude, and behavior that you portray in daily life. Proper 
sleep helps us to recover from mental as well as physical exertion. Sleep and health are strongly 
related - poor sleep can increase the risk of having poor health, and poor health can make it harder 
to sleep. Sleep disturbances can be one of the first signs of distress. Over time, lack of sleep can
contribute to the symptoms of depression. Sleep loss often aggravates the symptoms of 
depression, and depression can make it more difficult to fall asleep.

Sleep deprivation causes many physical issues, but two outward problems are aging skin and 
weight gain. Extended and chronic sleep loss can lead to dull skin, fine lines and dark circles under 
the eyes. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body releases more of the stress hormone 
cortisol. In excess amounts, cortisol can break down skin collagen, the protein that keeps skin 
smooth and elastic. When it comes to weight gain, lack of sleep seems to be related to an increase 
in hunger and appetite, and even stimulates cravings for high-fat, high-carbohydrate foods.

Loss of sleep results in depleted energy, consistent sleepiness, and increased tension in a person. 
With all of this in mind, keeping up with functional and healthy relationships because much more
challenging than the average person. Additionally, both men and women who are sleep deprived 
report to have a largely decreased interest in sex.

Sleep plays a huge role in thinking and learning. With reglar lack of sleep, you will be hurting these
cognitive processes in many ways. First, lack of sleep impairs attention, alertness, concentration,
reasoning, and problem solving. All of which make efficient learning very difficult. Further, 
throughout the night, several sleep cycles play a role in “consolidating” memories in the mind. If you 
don’t get enough sleep, you won’t be able to remember what you learned and experienced during 
the day.

Last, but probably the most important, lack of sleep and sleep loss over a period of time can put 
you at risk for serious health problems down the line. Common health issues that might be caused 
are heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, stroke and 
diabetes. So remember, your better sleep tonight will have you feeling awake tomorrow morning, 
but will also save you from a handful of health issues later in life.
