Effects of a lack of sleep, known as insomnia, is the most common classification of sleep disorders. It was estimated that thirty to forty million people all over the world have difficulty staying asleep, falling asleep or waking earlier than they would like to, and cannot get back to sleep. Most people settle that this is just a part of life, and the poor quality of sleep proceeds to eat away at the quality of life that could be attained.
If sleep is interrupted then an imbalance of hormones can take place. As an example; a deficiency of sleep is the beginning to an increase in the production of cortisol, which is a stress hormone. This hormone affects the heart and too much of it causes hypertension or it can destroy a person’s energy, which can bring them into a depressive state. The effect of poor sleep can increase the emission of insulin after meals and these secretions can rise above the normal levels. Insulin is a hormone that controls glucose processing and encourages fat storage. This increases insulin levels which are linked with weight gain, which then can become a risk factor for diabetes.
