Here are 6 health problems that can occur due to lack of hours of sleep, as reported by prevention, among others:
Cardiovascular Disease Adequate sleep is very important for your heart health. In the journal Sleep published in 2010, it was noted that lack of sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease or heart disease. Researchers at West Virginia University School of Medicine reviewed data from 30,397 people who participated in a study conducted by the National Health Interview in 2005. Based on the review, it is known that people who have less than 7 hours of sleep each night are at risk for heart disease . Even women under the age of 60 who only sleep 5 hours or less at night, have a 2-fold risk of developing heart disease.
Diabetes According to a study published in the journal Diabetes in 2011, researchers from the University of Chicago and Northwestern University found that when people with type 2 diabetes do not have enough hours of sleep at night, will increase blood glucose levels up to 9 percent. In addition, sleep deprivation can also increase insulin levels by up to 30 percent and increase insulin resistance in people with type 2 diabetes by 43 percent.
3.Breast Cancer Researchers from Tohuku University's Graduate School of Medicine in Japan conducted a study of 24,000 women ages 40 to 79 and found that participants who had less than 6 hours of sleep each night had a 62 percent greater risk of breast cancer than those who sleep up to 9 hours every night.
Bladder Problems In a meeting organized by the American Urological Association in 2011, researchers from the New England Research Institute stated that the lack of sleep at night increases the risk of problems with bladder health. The study was conducted on 4,145 adult men and women and researchers found that people who had hours of sleep less than 5 hours per night and that have occurred for 5 years increased the risk of nocturia up to 80 to 90 percent. Nocturia is a health condition that requires someone to wake up at night to urinate or else you can wet the bed. The researchers stated that lack of sleep can cause inflammation, which in turn can cause problems in the bladder.
Cancer In a study of 1,240 people in the year by researchers from Case Western University, found that people who sleep less than 6 hours at night are at risk of developing colorectal polyps that can become cancer by 47 percent compared to people who have enough sleep .
Death A 10-year study of 16,000 people by researchers at Copenhagen University correlates between sleep deprivation and an increased risk of death. Apparently people under the age of 45 who do not have enough hours of sleep each night have a double the risk of death than people who have enough sleep. This happens because of the many bad effects of the lack of hours of sleep a night on one's health.
