Reasons Why You Should Sleep More

An extra hour of sleep each day can make a difference in your life. There are some studies which show that getting enough sleep and getting too little sleep may affect several aspects of your life such as your mood, health, weight and probably even your sex life.

If you are always getting too little sleep each day, here are some surprising reasons on why you should:

Better Health

To make things clear, getting enough sleep won’t guarantee that you have immunity against diseases. But studies show that a lack of sleep is linked to several serious health problems such as heart attacks, heart diseases, obesity and diabetes. But the health risks associated with lack of sleep will only become serious after a few years’ time. Just don’t rely on that fact and start getting more sleep at any early stage.

Better Sex Life

In a recent poll, it shows that 26% of couples are suffering from poor sex life because they are always too tired to do it. The evidence on that can be found on men wherein impairment in their sleeping patterns resulted in lower testosterone levels. This will eventually cause some risks towards the relationship between couples, especially if it has been occurring quite too often.

Less Pain

If you are experiencing chronic or acute pain, getting some sleep can lessen its intensity. There are studies which show that there is a link between sleep loss and lower pain threshold. But that’s not always the case because too much pain can sometimes hinder you from sleeping.

Better Mood

If you get enough sleep, it doesn’t always mean that you will have a sunny disposition. But you must have noticed that whenever you’re tired or exhausted, you can easily get cranky. Apart from that, a lack of sleep can affect your emotional regulation. And when you’re overtired, you can easily snap even on someone whom you shouldn’t normally be pissed at.

Better Weight Control

If you get enough sleep, you can maintain your weight and if you are deprived from it, you have an increased risk of gaining weight. The reason behind this is that being too tired can cause you to have less energy to go for a jog, an exercise or prepare a healthy meal.

With all these surprising reasons, you must now know the importance of getting an adequate amount of sleep each day.
