when does sleep deprivation become dangerous
Of course, one night of short sleep won't put you at serious risk, but one week can. After just seven nights of too little sleep, researchers observed more than 700 genetic changes that could play a role in consequences including heart problems and obesity, according to a recent study.
But you havenât had a good nightâs sleep in weeks -- maybe months. And this sleep deprivation isnât likely to let up anytime soon! Itâs not easy caring for your baby -- not to mention the rest of your family -- when you are sleep deprived. Itâs also dangerous.
