Is A Lack of Sleep Making You Feel MORE than Just Groggy?

In today’s society most people know two things about sleep:

1. They don’t get enough sleep

2. The lack of sleep is probably not great for their body.

What research is telling us is how many aspects of your health are affected by a lack of sleep. New research has been delving into the link between a lack of sleep and the inflammatory processes in the body. Although these processes are complex and require further research, it is known that a loss of sleep results in increased inflammatory markers throughout the body.

So what’s the big deal with inflammatory markers? The same research is now showing that these same inflammatory markers have links to serious disease including diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Along with these serious diseases, this increase in inflammation can also result in worsening pain syndromes. 

So get your eight to stay straight!
