If you are experiencing prolonged periods of disrupted sleep or no sleep at all, the damage may affect you instantly or start over time.

A prolonged lack of sleep can increase the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease.

These health conditions can develop as a result of your blood vessels being unable to repair themselves. If you are not getting enough sleep, your body isn’t getting the time it needs to heal.

Recent studies have also found a link between lack of sleep and obesity. Interestingly, those who fail to get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight or obese. The reasons behind this are not clear. However, it is thought that those who don’t get enough sleep may lack the energy to exercise. These low energy levels may also be compensated by overeating.
