Not getting enough sleep each night for any reason has been linking to many long lasting and serious effects. An increased risk of type two diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and depression are a few of the side effects from a long lasting lack of sleep. Not being able to sleep deprives your mind of the satiety hormone, making you react in different ways than you normally would. Many people face the fact that they are always hungry, and for a person who would not usually eat all day, every day there is a higher chance that they will spend the day eating simply because they cannot tell themselves to stop eating. Another factor that can occur with the loss of sleep in not being able to have the best memory. With your mind working overtime in order to keep you up there is less space and consciousness for memories to form. Many students face a lack of sleep from stress and being overworked, which can cause poor grades, as well as not being able to pay attention within classes or even understand what is happening. When your body hits a certain point you have to shut down in order to give yourself time to process and reboot.

Getting sleep is one of the most important things for your bodies other than food and water, a functioning adult needs at least eight hours of sleep as well as a healthy diet. Sleep deprivation can be helped by just getting the proper amount of sleep and taking care of your body.
