6 diseases your lack of sleep could be causing

1. Alzheimer’s

Since sleep is necessary to remove waste from tired brain cells as well as repair worn or damaged structures. If this isn’t done properly, cognitive decline, dementia, and other brain conditions may occur .In fact, in 2013, researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that skipping out on sleep is one of the possible causes of Alzheimer’s disease.

The study followed 70 adults between the ages of 53 and 91. Participants who experienced poor sleep frequently were found to have higher quantities of beta-amyloid deposition in their brains on PET scans. Since the compound is a marker for Alzheimer’s disease, researchers hypothesized that poor sleep prevented the brain from clearing up beta-amyloid “waste”, leading to a higher incidence of cerebral disease

2. Obesity And Diabetes

Researchers at the University or Chicago have proved that poor sleep is linked to obesity, and ultimately, diabetes (4). They found that too little sleep led to fatty acid buildup, which impacted both metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

By analyzing the sleeping pattern of 19 men over 3 nights, researchers found that men who only got 4 hours of sleep had fatty acid blood levels 15 to 30 percent higher than participants who slept 8.5 hours a night (5). Short sleepers also showed signs of prediabetes and obesity while people who had more sleep did not.

3. Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is highly influenced by diet and lifestyle, so it’s no wonder that sleep comes into play (6). In an annual meeting, the European Society of Cardiology presented evidence that sleep directly affects your risk of heart disease

The study, which followed 657 Russian men aged 24-64 for a total of 14 years found that two-thirds of those who experienced a heart attack also suffered from a sleeping disorder. Poor sleepers were also found to have a 2.6 times greater risk of myocardial infarction, a heart attack caused by the heart muscle dying. They even had a one-and-a-half to four times greater risk of stroke.
