Is Sleep Loss Killing You Slowly?

Losing just an hour’s sleep can leave you tired, groggy and unable to function for the rest of the day. But if you think the consequences are only temporary, you’re in for a HUGE shock: studies show that sleep loss can ruin more than just your day. Over time, it will ruin your health as well.

Sleep loss can ruin your health and slowly kill you.

Emerging research has linked sleep deprivation to:

• significant increases in triglycerides, LDL and total cholesterol levels

• dangerous drops in health-boosting HDL cholesterol.

Studies have found that getting less than six hours of sleep per night:

• Increases your risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks and stroke;

• Boosts your chances of developing metabolic syndrome by a whopping 45 percent;

• Raises your risk of several types of cancer, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
