Your brain will function less well
When your body is tired, you will notice that everything goes just a little slower. This also applies to your brain. They also have more difficulty with everything if they have to work with little energy. You are less focused and alert when you are tired. Your memory also becomes somewhat worse. This is because while you sleep, your brain processes all the new information you learned that day. If you don’t sleep enough, you won’t be able to save everything.
Your immune system deteriorates
Do you feel that you are often ill? This could be because you don’t sleep enough. People who sleep too little become ill more quickly due to a deteriorated immune system. These people also often remain ill for longer.
You get irritated more quickly
Another symptom of not getting enough sleep is becoming easily irritated. So you actually got out of bed on the wrong side because of your poor night’s sleep. Because your brain also has more difficulty with simple tasks, you become overwhelmed more quickly and therefore irritated.
Performing difficult tasks becomes even more difficult
Carrying out tasks for your work and/or study is difficult enough in itself. But if you don’t sleep enough, this becomes even more difficult. It’s now a lot harder to focus, which makes completing tasks a lot more overwhelming. If your work requires a lot of focus, it is definitely wise to get enough sleep.
You may start to feel depressed
If you are tired, you probably already feel less good about yourself than normal. Sleep deprivation can also cause feelings of depression. Processing your emotions is a lot more difficult for your brain with so little energy. Everything then seems too much. You have no energy to do things and that can make you quite depressed.
Your libido decreases
Too little sleep can also have a negative effect on your sex life. Sleep deprivation can also have an effect on your hormones. This can then lead to reduced motivation and energy, which can ultimately lead to less desire for sex.
