| Sleep Deprivation |
Sleeping time – Greetings Readers of Propersleep ... We already know that having
trouble sleeping will make disruption to our health. Even though each person
has different need for sleep time and the
average is 6 to 8 hours, but sleep problems in adults is happen sometimes, such
as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, sleep deprivation etc.
Sleep disorders especially sleep deprivations has correlation
to lowered body immunity, resulting in high blood pressure, and depression, sleep
deprivation also can interfere with cognitive ability in the short term to long
term brain damage. Sleep deprivation can affect our brain, especially with
cognitive performance and direct influence to how brain works.

Lack Of Sleep Interfere With Cognitive Performance
Getting
a good night's sleep and enough sleeping time will really improve overall
cognitive performance, including concentration, focus, and attention. Research
also shows that sleep deprivation will reduce the focus on the task of sight
and hearing, and significantly prolonged the time to react to something,
because it will directly or indirectly affect the human brain. It would be
important in our daily activities, such as driving a car.
Sleep Helps Boost Memory
Recent
research shows when we learn something new and then we get enough sleep, it
will increase the memory or the memory of learning. This process of learning
take place through the process of the production of brain waves during sleep.
Lack Of Sleep Can Damage The Brain
In
addition to lowering the cognitive skill, sleep deprivation and sleeping
disorders can also cause brain damage. In a study conducted on mice,
researchers showed that sleep deprivation will kill even nerve damage in critical
areas of the brain. These nerves are very susceptible to damage because they
are known as nerve "sleep sensitive", meaning that when we sleep,
they sleep and when we wake up, they wake up.
Sleep Helps Clean Toxins From The Brain
In a
study in the journal Science, sleep can cause brain cells to s wash and cleanse
toxins accumulated during the day. Since the human brain has a limited energy
at its disposal, so that the cleaning function occurs when we are sleeping. That’s
why trouble sleeping will affect your brain performance.
Lack Of Sleep May Shrink The Brain
A study
in the journal Neurology suggests that the researchers examined the brains of
147 people aged 20-84 years, they were given MRI scans of the brain and they
fill out a questionnaire about sleep habits, including how much time sleeping
at night and how often they use sleeping pills.
Approximately
35% of study participants experiencing poor sleep and MRI results showed that
sleep problems as associated with decreased brain volume.
However,
it is not certain to be poor quality sleep really causes brain shrinkage, or it
is a consequence of changes in brain structure.
But the
question is, do you have enough sleep last night?
