According to the latest research, lack of sleep causes abnormal increases in amyloid proteins in the brain, which increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's, also known as senile dementia, is a disease that elderly people commonly suffer from in today's society. As the old saying goes: early to bed and early to rise makes a person healthy. If you don't sleep well at night, you will feel that your brain capacity is insufficient during the day, and prolonged poor sleep may cause your mind to collapse.。

Let's take a look at what harm lack of sleep can bring to the human body.

1. Harm to the liver

When we have insomnia or do not sleep, the organ most at risk is the liver. During insomnia, many people choose to do some activities to pass the time, but if our liver does not get timely and sufficient rest, it will lead to relatively insufficient blood flow to the liver, making it difficult for already damaged liver cells to recover, which may worsen the condition.

2. Harm to the brain

During the process of sleep, the brain organizes the events and information we experienced during the day and clears away the metabolic waste produced by information processing. If there is insufficient sleep, our brain does not have time to rest properly, which greatly increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.

3. Harm to the heart

After the human body enters the sleep state, it is equivalent to giving our heart a "holiday." If our sleep time is too short, the heart does not get enough rest, and the risk of heart disease greatly increases. Similarly, adults who sleep more than eight hours every night are also not beneficial to the heart, so do not sleep too little or too much.

The above are the harms that lack of sleep brings to the human body.
So what are the symptoms of a sleep-deprived body?

(1) Prone to catching colds

When we lack sleep, our immunity significantly decreases, making the body more susceptible to external harmful influences, resulting in cold symptoms such as headaches, runny nose, and muscle aches.

(2) Depression

If you don't get enough sleep, you often experience inexplicable sadness and may easily develop depression. This is because a tired brain is more prone to storing negative emotions, and people who lack sleep often experience fear and anxiety.

(3) Clumsy

Lack of sleep can also cause our movements to become sluggish. This is one of the more common harms caused by insufficient sleep.

(4) Affecting the brain’s thinking

If you are sleep-deprived for a long time, the quickest effect will be seen in the brain's thinking. Prolonged sleep deprivation causes invisible damage to the body's memory, making a person anxious and greatly reducing the brain's creative thinking and ability to handle tasks.

After reading about the above harms and the various symptoms caused by insufficient sleep, I hope everyone can adjust their sleep habits and develop the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. This is how you maintain your health and look younger~ If you have been experiencing poor sleep for a long time, you should see a doctor to make adjustments and not delay it~
