If you are tired during the day and you know you don't sleep well at night, it is time to remedy. Since we were little we were forced to turn off the television at 9 o'clock at night, and we would hear that saying: "You need to sleep eight hours ...".
We got older and now television is the least intervening between our hours of sleep. Most of the time it is a busy lifestyle, a complicated schedule, an appointment that worries us, social networks, etc.. All of this influences your life and you don't sleep well.
Sleep at least 7 hours
When you don't sleep well, experts advise a minimum of seven hours of sleep for adults. Not reaching that amount implies a series of possible negative effects, which can become health risks.
Consequences for your health if you don't sleep well
Obesity
It is a simple mathematical formula. Bad sleep = Constant Tiredness = Less Exercise + Carbohydrates (in a desperate attempt by the body to seek the energy it does not have). Total: several kilos added.
Premature aging
If you don't sleep well I know accelerates the appearance of wrinkles. Many men believe that this is an exclusively female concern. However, men also wrinkle faster when we do not sleep well.
Diabetes
In addition to eating worse and in a disorderly way, lack of sleep triggers insulin reaction, the immediate consequence of which is that blood sugar levels skyrocket.
