Consuming refined sugars in large quantities causes a sharp rise in blood sugar levels, followed by a quick decline. Eventually, this cycle may impair the function of the pancreas, the organ which secretes insulin. This is a primary factor in type 2 diabetes. Refined sugar causes brain inflammation, depletes tryptophan, slows thyroid function, depletes testosterone in men and contributes to insulin resistance and dementia.

If you are not getting the sleep that you need, your insomnia may eventually lead to serious consequences for your health. In the short term, your alertness and focus are impaired, which can have a negative effect on your school or work performance. Relationship problems may result from irritability due to lack of sleep, while fatigue may prevent you from participating in your normal activities.
