See you there!Sleep deprivation occurs when you are not sleeping the right amount for your individual needs. Sleep deprivation varies from person to person, and it also varies according to the situation. Sometimes, it is temporary (like a college student), while others might be chronic (such as an overworked employee). Whatever the case, it's effects are clearly evident the next morning: slowed reflexes, poorer mental capacity and memory loss. These after-effects depend on the severity of sleep deprivation. Also, some people are able to adapt quickly to sleep deprivation, while others simply need at least 8 hours of sleep. Everyone is unique in that sense, and you must find the right sleep schedule for yourself. Signs you may be suffering from sleep deprivation include:
1) You need an alarm clock to wake up.
2) You sleep longer and better on weekends.
3) You have trouble getting out of bed in the morning.
4) You have early morning headaches.
5) You feel tired during the day.
6) You have bags or dark circles under your eyes.
7) You doze off while driving.
8) You doze off while sitting in a public place, such as a movie theatre or meeting.
9) You have trouble concentrating.
If you notice any of these signs, you may not be getting enough sleep. Increase the number of hours you spend sleeping and find one that you’re comfortable with. If you haven't been getting enough sleep for a long time, it may take a while to recover. Sleep deprivation can be dangerous not only to you but others, since it affects motor skills like driving. Chronic sleep deprivation is also thought to cause long term changes to the body, which contribute to increased risk for obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
