1.\u00a0Sleep deprivation shortens your life expectancy.<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>

In the \u201cWhitehall II Study,\u201d British researchers discovered less than five hours of sleep also doubled the risk of death from cardiovascular disease \u2013 which is the number one cause of death in America according to the CDC.<\/p>

2.\u00a0\u00a0Sleep deprivation makes you gain weight.<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>

Lack of sleep causes your body to work against you, a 2004 study shows. In the study, those who were sleeping less than six hours per night were 30 percent more likely to gain weight and become obese than those sleeping six to nine hours per night. This may be due to the fact leptin \u2013 the hormone which makes you feel full and regulates fat storage \u2013 is 15.5 percent lower in those who regularly sleep five hours or less. Conversely, less sleep also increases ghrelin \u2013 the hormone which stimulates hunger. In short, if you feel hungrier throughout the day and will most likely eat more food.<\/p>

3.\u00a0\u00a0Sleep deprivation makes you more forgetful.<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>

The effects of sleep deprivation even take a toll on your brain! Five or fewer hours of sleep three days in a row can damage or kill brain cells. Eventually, the brain won\u2019t be able to clear out the plaque-forming proteins causing Alzheimer\u2019s\u2019 and dementia. Your brain needs the \u201csharp wave ripples\u201d discovered by American and French researchers in 2009 in order to consolidate memory. How do you experience more \u201csharp wave ripples\u201d? You guessed it! Sleep! Studies show sharp wave ripples occur most frequently during the deepest levels of sleep occurring during longer sleep time frames.<\/p>

4.\u00a0\u00a0Sleep deprivation makes you look older, faster.<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>

You may have noticed the first signs of a lack of sleep on your skin \u2013 puffy, red eyes. Over time, this leads to fine lines, wrinkles, sallow skin and dark circles under your eyes. In order to keep your body healthy, you need human growth hormone \u2013 which the body produces in abundance when you are young. When you sleep, your body repairs itself strengthens bones and thickens your skin. Be kind to your skin and get adequate rest on a regular basis.<\/p>

5.\u00a0\u00a0Sleep deprivation increases the risk of getting sick.<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>

Missing sleep over time wears down your immune system, making it more difficult for your body to fight off viruses and diseases. Effects of sleep deprivation on your immune system can slow down your recovery time if you do get sick and increase your risk of getting sick after being exposed to a virus or bacteria. Cytokines are proteins your body releases during sleep, which increase when you are sick, to fight off an infection or inflammation. Sleep deprivation may decrease the production of these proteins.<\/p>

What can you do?<\/i><\/b><\/p>
