Expert Reveals How Chronic Sleep Deprivation Impacts Health Over Four Weeks
Madrid, Spain – Dr. Alexandre Olmos, a health professional, recently highlighted the severe health consequences of chronic sleep deprivation, emphasizing that consistently sleeping less than eight hours a night can significantly impact various bodily functions over time. In a recent educational video, Dr. Olmos detailed a four-week progression of adverse effects. According to Dr. Olmos, during the first week of insufficient sleep, individuals may experience a decrease in energy levels, a compromised immune system, reduced concentration, and an increased appetite. By the second week, the body's biological clock becomes desynchronized, leading to accelerated aging and heightened irritability. The third week sees hormonal deregulation, specifically an increase in cortisol levels, which contributes to higher stress and the retention of abdominal fat. Furthermore, Dr. Olmos explained that by the fourth week of chronic sleep deprivation, the expression of genes associated with chronic inflammation is activated, while genes responsible for DNA repair and cellular protection against aging become deactivated. He stressed that prolonged lack of sleep not only diminishes one's quality of life but also reduces overall lifespan. Dr. Olmos concluded his presentation by inviting viewers to seek personalized advice on improving their sleep habits.
