Sleep Deprivation

Sleep deprivation is a problem that most people ignore. But the fact is, it can be a big deal to us. Our health might be at risk when we are deprived from sleep. People are busy with their works, students are busy with their studies and others are fond of sleeping late doing some other things. If don’t have enough sleep, we don’t feel rested. In this case, we are abusing our health.

During my college days, I cannot avoid sleeping late even if I try to because of the things that I must accomplish before I go to bed especially during our examination week. What makes it worst is during our examination day. I was having difficulty answering those questions. I get burned out because my brain wasn’t functioning well.

Well, that’s just one of the effects of sleep deprivation. Other typical effects of sleep deprivation include: depression, heart disease, hypertension, irritability, slower reaction times, slurred speech, and tremors.

We have to be aware with our sleep or else we might suffer from those that I’ve mentioned. I think time management is one of the best solutions for this. If we know how to manage our time wisely, then we might have enough time for our sleep. But in some cases, like mine, I sleep almost 3-4 hours a day; I think it’s best to allocate time for our rest and sleep. Like have a rest and good sleep on the weekends. Another thing is, eating healthy foods and vitamins. We should pamper ourselves sometimes too.
