Lack of Sleep leads to:
- Lack of alertness: the body decides to slow down.
- Impaired memory: The brain shifts to short-term memory and does not let the information attach to your memory.
- Relationship stress: because you get tired or even wake up tired, people you communicate with feel your passive or apathetic state.
- Physical changes: like weight gain, due to the imbalances of hormones – leptin and ghrelin that become less sensitive and signal you to eat more when you’re not hungry.
- Greater likelihood for car accidents: slow reflexes, lessened attention.
- Quality of life: You may become less likely to participate in normal daily activities or to exercise.
