Getting enough sleep is essential to physical health. Sleeping is as important as getting the right amount of food for people to survive. When people sleep, their body rests; it conserves energy, reduces blood pressure, and the brain remains active. Researchers show that people should get an average of 6-8 hours of sleep every day. However, many people are not getting enough sleep nowadays. According to research, lack of sleep puts one’s health at risk. Some of the negative effects of lack of sleep are being more sensitive to pain and increasing the risk of having health problems.

People who are sleep deprived are more sensitive to pain. Pain and sleep affect each other. Our immune system benefits from our sleep. If the body does not have enough rest, it reduces its tolerance to pain. Some people do not get quality sleep at night because of pain. Unfortunately, it makes pain worse the next day.

Lack of sleep also increases the risk of getting health problems. A poor-quality sleep may lead to serious health problems such as Alzheimer’s disease and the likes. Alzheimer’s disease is an illness where people lose their memory due to the build-up of beta-amyloid. It is a protein in our brain wherein its growth is caused by lack of sleep.

Because of these negative effects, doctors have been reminding people to prioritize having enough quality sleep as much as possible.
