HOÀNG LỘC (T/H) |

Lack of sleep not only causes you temporary fatigue but also causes a series of serious health problems if prolonged.

Sleep plays an essential role in energy recovery, cell regeneration and maintaining important functions of the body. However, in modern society, many people experience lack of sleep due to work pressure, life or unhealthy living habits. This leads to serious health consequences such as:

1. Reduced work performance and concentration

Lack of sleep reduces concentration, slow reflexes, makes decisions difficult, and increases the risk of mistakes at work or school.

2. Affects mood and mental health

People with insomnia are susceptible to stress, anxiety, depression and erratic emotions, which negatively affect their personal and social lives, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

3. Increased risk of chronic diseases

Prolonged lack of sleep increases the risk of diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and immune disorders.

4. Decreased immune function

Insufficient sleep weakens the immune system, making the body susceptible to infections and making it difficult to recover when sick.

5. Impact on appearance and skin

Lack of sleep reduces skin regeneration, causing dull skin, wrinkles, eye bags and dark circles.

Therefore, adequate and quality sleep is the key to protecting overall health. Prioritize sleep to increase resistance, improve quality of life and prevent many dangerous diseases.
