Is not enough sleep bad for your health? - ikeisco - 01-19-2013 05:00 AM
Is not enough sleep bad for your health? Basically I'm a student and I'm going to bed at around 3-5am each night and getting up at 7:30am to get ready to go to uni. I don't feel too bad for it except early in the morning, Could this have negative effects on my health in the long run? Thanks.
I'm not having trouble sleeping, I just can't be bothered and find it boring.

Definitely. Sleep deprivation can adversely affect the brain and cognitive function and causes an impairment of ability. Should be getting atleast 7 hrs of *quality* sleep a night as a student ( that means not looking at any screens atleast an hour before bed, try reading a textbook or free reading book the hour before bed instead of scrolling through twitter, facebook, or some kind of article on a phone or laptop screen).

Yes!! Not getting enough sleep lowers your immune system, making you more prone to infection and then hindering you in the long run. Try to get at least 6-8 hours of sleep if you can, at first you'll probably be really tired but once you get on a normal sleeping pattern you will feel more energized and awake.
Hope this helps!
