Millions of adults are affected by
sleep deprivation each day and the
numbers are ever increasing. Your
body’s function is severely limited
with sleep deprivation. You cannot
concentrate, your body feels bad, you
have memory shortage and your muscles
hurt.
When your body does not get enough
sleep you cannot function effectively.
Your body goes through several changes.
Some changes include:
. The brain not getting enough rest
which affects the frontal cortex and
causes it not to function properly.
. The body does not provide enough
energy to perform tasks.
. Movement is weakened and limited.
. The body cannot metabolize glucose
correctly therefore early signs of
diabetes occur.
All of these symptoms and effects can
go away if the body begins to get
enough rest. However if the body
continues to go without rest it weakens
and it is put at risk and in physical
danger.
People with sleep deprivation should
not feel like one or two days of rest
will solve the problem. It will not.
The body has to have continuous ongoing
rest for it to function properly on a
daily basis.
