5 signs you’re not getting enough sleep
You’re struggling to focus
A poor night’s sleep will have a huge effect on your productivity level. Even just one night of bad sleep can temporarily hinder your decision-making skills, concentration and ability to maintain focus. Not to mention, it’s near impossible to learn a new skill or show enthusiasm for work or anything else if you’re fighting to keep your eyes open. Tyrosine is an amino acid that is required for the production of important brain chemicals (neurotransmitters).
You have brain fog
Sleep is critical to our memory recall. If you don’t get enough sleep, you tend to forget things more easily, especially memories about events and experiences, also known as episodic memories. According to a Harvard study, sleep helps shuttle information from the brain’s temporary storage – the hippocampus-into its permanent memory troves in the frontal cortex. While you rest, you also merge existing information you’ve learned with new knowledge, a process that is instrumental to problem solving.
You have poor mental health
Not getting enough sleep can have a detrimental impact on how we regulate our emotions. One meta-analysis reviewed 64 studies to better understand the connection between sleep and our mood and emotions. They found that losing sleep increases negative moods, particularly in younger people, and significantly reduces positive moods. Additionally, getting less sleep makes it harder to handle emotions in healthy ways, particularly in children and teens. Our magnesium powder helps to calm the nervous system and is a great supplement to take before bed to reduce stress and evoke relaxation.
You have strong junk food cravings
It shouldn’t be news headlines that not getting enough sleep makes people feel hungrier. This especially increases cravings for junk food, and there is ample research to support this. If you don’t get enough sleep or poor quality, broken sleep, your blood level of various hunger hormones increases. When you’re feeling exhausted you are also much less motivated to prepare healthy meals and get enough exercise in. Research has also shown that people who are chronically exhausted end up buying more food when they go grocery shopping, and more junk food in general.
Your body weight is increasing
A randomized controlled crossover study by a researcher at Mayo Clinic found that insufficient sleep led to a 9 percent increase in total abdominal fat and an 11 percent increase in abdominal visceral fat, compared to sufficient sleep. Visceral fat is the dangerous type of fat that gets deposited deep inside the abdomen around internal organs.
