TRIBUNTERNATE.COM – Sleep is a basic human need that is often ignored.
Sleep problems are even more common among busy workers.
Not infrequently, these people don’t get enough sleep.
Many people think they can get by with less than 8 hours of sleep, as doctors recommend.
However, actually lack of sleep has serious consequences for the human brain and body.
“The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life,” said Matthew Walker, a neurologist who specializes in sleep problems quoted from Business Insider.
Most adults need between seven and 9 hours of sleep, depending on the needs of each person.
When these needs are not met, there are several consequences experienced by the body, including:
1. High risk of cancer
Lack of sleep or poor sleep quality has long been linked to an increased risk of some cancers. Types of cancer that are increasing are colon and breast cancer.
