  1. Adequate Sleep • Adults—6 – 8 hours • Children—Longer sleep • Infants and toddlers—15 hours of sleep

  2. Importance of Sleep

  3. Inadequate Sleep Weakens the Immune System • Decreases ability to fight infections • Decreases natural killer cells • Increases secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor • 6 hours of sleep for 7 days • Increases risk of heart inflammation • Tests show that those who lack sleep have around 70% less antibodies compared to those with adequate sleep

  4. Inadequate Sleep Increases Diabetes Risk • Increases risk of type 2 diabetes • Tests show that suppressing deep sleep for 3 nights increases blood sugar levels by 23% • Inhibits insulin secretion

  5. Inadequate Sleep Harms the Cardiovascular System • Increases risk of death from heart disease • Increases risk of clogging up coronary arteries • Increases release of stress hormones • Among research subjects: • 27% of those who slept less than 5 hours each night developed coronary artery calcification • Only 6% of those who slept more than 7 hours developed coronary artery calcification

  6. Inadequate Sleep May Lead to Weight Gain • Associated with lower levels of leptin, a hormone that suppresses hunger • May increase hunger pangs • In tests, those who slept less than 8 hours daily were twice as likely to be overweight or obese as those who slept for at least 10 hours

  7. Causes of Inadequate Sleep—Excessive Stress • Higher secretion of cortisol, a stress hormone • Waking up more often during the night • Poor sleep quality • Lack of rest for brain and muscles

  8. Causes of Inadequate Sleep—Poor Sleep Environment • Excessive noise • Bright lights • Televisions or computers • Heat or cold • Poor bedding • Bed partners with sleep problems

  9. Causes of Inadequate Sleep—Inappropriate Habits • Spicy, fatty or sour foods—Trigger heartburn • High-fat, low-fiber foods such as meat products—Indigestion and constipation • Milk—Increases gastric acid • Caffeine and other stimulants—Stimulates central nervous system • Nicotine • Alcohol—Disrupts rapid eye movement sleep • Alcoholism—Increases risk of having obstructive sleep apnea
