What are the consequences of sleeping badly?

What are the consequences of sleeping badly The consequences of sleeping badly are noticeable on a global scale. Sleepiness is only one of them.
Over 50% of work related accidents are said to be caused by little or bad sleep and a bad sleep hygiene. As an example the Chernobyl-disaster could have been avoided if the employees hadn't been confronted with sleepiness. Many regretful traffic accidents are related either directly or indirectly to bad sleep and a bad sleep hygiene.

The direct physiological consequences of bad sleep are:
  • reduced thought process and delayed reactions
  • problems with listening to and comprehending instructions
  • problems with memorizing
  • frequent mistakes or errors
  • narrowed attention, span skipping important changes
  • bad estimation of complex situations
  • problems finding new solutions
  • tunnel vision : narrowed vision
  • blurred vision

Sleeplessness can affect your overall daily performance and may even have an effect on your personality.

If your insomnia or sleeplessness continues for a long period of time it could cause problems

  • In your relationships

  • Compromise your productivity

  • That lead to other health problems

Sleeplessness can become a relentless cycle of worry and anxiety as night after night you toss and turn, wondering when sleep will come, wondering what is wrong with you and why you are unable to sleep.
