Is lack of sleep harmful to women?

Nowadays, many women have very rich nightlife arrangements, they sleep very little every night, and they don’t have time to make up for sleep during the day, which leads to lack of sleep. Some people may think that this situation is not a problem, but if it continues for a long time it will cause great harm to the body. So what are the adverse effects? Next, let me tell the story.

1. Make people dull. Sleep plays a decisive role in a person's thinking and learning ability. Lack of sleep affects a person's cognitive process in many ways. First, lack of sleep can impair attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities, which can make you less effective at learning.

2. Mental depression. Over time, sleep deprivation and sleep disturbances can lead to depression. Insomnia and depression are inextricably linked. Insomnia and depression almost complement each other. Lack of sleep will aggravate the symptoms of depression, and depression in turn will make it more difficult to fall asleep. On a positive note, treating sleep problems can help relieve depression, and vice versa.

3. Accelerate skin aging. I believe most people have experienced sallow skin and puffy eyes after a few nights without sleep. But it turns out that chronic sleep deprivation can lead to dull skin, wrinkles, and dark circles under the eyes. When you don't get enough sleep, your body releases more of the stress hormone cortisol. Excess cortisol breaks down collagen in the skin, a protein that keeps the skin smooth and elastic. Deep sleep can repair skin tissue.

In short, long-term lack of sleep for women can cause great harm to their health, so they must pay enough attention to it. The editor recommends that female friends should ensure about seven hours of sleep every day and take a nap at noon, so as to avoid these adverse effects.
