  1. What happens if you fail to catch on enough sleep at night?

  2. If you eat and exercise regularly but fail to catch up on seven hours of rest every night, you are simply throwing all your efforts in the drain. Despite sounding dramatic, this fact is true. Experts agree that when people do not rest for the required hours, they harm their bodies. For those interested in knowing how sleep deprivation affects your system, here is more information. Have a look!

  3. How much sleep does your body need? People feel better after achieving the targeted hours of sleep, but these differ from person to person. According to the National Sleep Foundation, here is how much sleep is recommended for every person: • Newborns (between 0 to 3 months): 14 to 17 hours • Infants (between 4 to 11 months): 12 to 15 hours • Preschool and toddlers (1 to 5 years): 10 to 14 hours • School-age children (6 to 13 years): 9 to 11 hours • Teenagers (14 to 17 years): 8 to 10 hours • Adults (18 to 64 years): 7 to 9 hours • Old aged people (7 to 8 hours)

  4. How is your body affected if you do not get enough sleep? Doctors around the world urge people to rest for the recommended hours as failure to do so can hurt your health in many ways. Some problems you may face include: • Sleep deprivation can cause a lack of alertness. If you do not rest well during the night, you lose focus and fail to pay attention to the task at hand no matter how hard you try. • People who fail to catch on to seven to eight hours of rest during their adult age often have poor memory. They cannot remember and filter information. They keep forgetting small things like where they have kept the car keys or if they have locked the door. • You feel moody and stressed when you do not get good quality sleep. It makes you more likely to get into conflicts with others, leading to relationship issues. The fights can put an extra burden on your personal and professional relationships. 

  5. People who do not feel well-rested show a lack of desire to participate in day-to-day activities. Also, such people do not have the will to exercise. This results in a degraded quality of life. • Since people who have not rested for the required number of hours show the same intoxication levels as someone drunk, the probability of getting into a road accident is high. Data shows that drowsy driving accounts for thousands of crashes, injuries, and fatalities every year. • Not resting well through the night makes you likely to feel sleepy and exhausted the next day. It causes excessive daytime sleepiness. Some serious problems that can occur because of chronic sleep deprivation are high BP, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, obesity, depression, and heart failure.  So, you need to be warned against these few effects of sleep deprivation.
