• Brain garbage called amyloid beta is discharged during sleep. Amyloid beta is a causative agent of Alzheimer's disease, which is the greatest cause of dementia. [2]
・Long-term sleep deprivation also increases your risk for chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease. [1]
・If the state of insufficient sleep continues, activity of the amygdala of the brain responding to anxiety and tension becomes active, so the mental state becomes unstable.
・Sleep deprivation is another risk factor for overweight and obesity. Sleep affects the levels of two hormones, leptin and ghrelin, which control feelings of hunger and fullness. Leptin tells your brain that you’ve had enough to eat. Without enough sleep, your brain reduces leptin and raises ghrelin, which is an appetite stimulant. The flux of these hormones could explain nighttime snacking or why someone may overeat later in night. [1]
