How does Insomnia Affect my Body?

Sleep is a vital pillar of health and sleep disorders such as insomnia can have an adverse affect on the body and mind. Following are some of the ways in which insomnia may affect your body –

• Cardiovascular issues: Insomnia is associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. 

• Low Immunity: Sleep deprivation impacts the health of the immune system. This can make you prone to chronic pain, infections, inflammation, etc. You are more likely to get sick with poor sleep.

• Cognitive decline: Poor sleep can have an affect on your memory, focus, and problem-solving, and can cause a general feeling of being unwell. Over a period of time, you may begin to experience symptoms of dementia and gradual cognitive decline.

• Mood disorders: Insomnia can increase the risk of depression and anxiety and can make individuals feel irritable.
