1. Junk Food Cravings
If you're reaching for more sugary, fatty snacks than usual…
It's likely your sleepiness has disrupted the balance of two important hormones:
Ghrelin and leptin.
Sleep loss increases ghrelin, resulting in hard-to-control cravings...
And decreases leptin, leaving you with a starving stomach - even after you've just eaten!
2. Clumsiness & Pain
Without enough sleep, your brain gets a bit fuzzy with its messages to your muscles.
The result? You turn into a bit of a klutz, bumping into things more than usual.
And here's another twist:
Tiredness turns UP the volume on your brain's 'ouch' centers (the thalamus and somatosensory cortex)...
Meaning that stubbed toe might hurt way more than it should.
3. Social Slip-Ups
Ever said something you instantly regretted?
When you're short on sleep, the prefrontal cortex, which is like your brain's social etiquette coach, starts to slack off.
This can lead to those awkward, cringe-worthy moments.
4. Skin Freak-outs
There's a reason why it's called, "beauty sleep."
When you're not getting enough, your cortisol (the stress hormone) will spike…
Triggering inflammation, unwanted blemishes, and even fine lines and wrinkles.
And it doesn't end there.
Lack of sleep also means less blood flow to your skin, leaving you with a complexion that looks more 'meh' than marvelous.
5. Memory Mix-Ups
Think of your brain as a night-shift librarian.
When you sleep, it gets busy sorting your day into your memory vault.
But with too little sleep, your librarian goes on strike.
Suddenly, simple things - like where you left your keys - can seem like a mystery.
Does this or any of the signs above ring a bell?
If so…
It's time to win back your well-deserved sleep.
Of course, in today's non-stop, always-on world, drifting off to dreamland can be a struggle.
