In our modern society, millions of people are chronically sleep deprived and suffering the deleterious effects of having low quality sleep. Sleep deprivation effects are not pretty either. Try immune system failure, diabetes, cancer, obesity, depression, and memory loss just to name a few.
How Continuous Sleep Problems Can Affect Your Health
Most people don’t realize that their continuous sleep problems are also a catalyst for the diseases and appearance issues they’re dealing with. Studies have shown that just one night of being sleep deprived can make you as insulin resistant as a type-2 diabetic. This translates directly to aging faster and storing more body fat than you want to (please say it ain’t so!)
Now stretch that out over weeks, months, and years then you can start to see why lack of sleep can be such a huge problem. Many people hop into bed, and then proceed to think about the when, where, who, why, what, and hows of their life… all while they’re supposed to be sleeping.
If this sounds familiar to you, then you have a serious issue with something we call “inner chatter”. But don’t worry, there is a cure. | See the full story here… theshawnstevensonmodel.com
