Here’s a study proving it.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nResearchers at Stockholm University asked judges to gauge the appearance of people using pictures of them after a full night’s sleep, and after a bad one. The conclusion was strongly found that a lack of sleep will mean a lack of attention from the opposite sex:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Our findings show that sleep deprived people appear less healthy, less attractive, and more tired compared with when they are well rested. This suggests that humans are sensitive to sleep related facial cues, with potential implications for social and clinical judgments and behaviour.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAnd Much More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sleep is connected to everything<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnfortunately, this article is already beyond 3,000 words – so I don’t want to bore you with more studies and cases! But for those of you still interested, here’s some other effects of being constantly tired because of 6 hours sleep:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Loss of exercise ability. <\/strong>We lose our stamina (as well as motivation to work out).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Long term risks. <\/strong>Extended periods of tiredness (living on 6 hours sleep) increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart issues, and anxiety\/depression (especially in night shift workers)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- We get ill more. <\/strong>Your immune system drops, leaving you much more vulnerable. Especially dangerous if you’re travelling, working in an open-plan office, or commuting on public transport.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- We feel more pain. <\/strong>Our ‘toughness’ drops, and our ability to resist discomfort, pain, and hot\/cold temperatures drops with it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- We’re not our best selves. <\/strong>Perhaps the bottom line – we’re just not at our full capacity. Our family members aren’t enjoying you at your best, your work suffers – we just generally don’t represent the best version of ourselves. This thought alone is what motivates me most to switch off early at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Well, that wasn’t fun to right about! Remember that aside from all these scary sounding aspects of being tired, just remember that the opposites are also true. Getting more than 6 hours of sleep will help make you happier, calmer, more confident, and just closer to being the best version of yourself. All just by laying down and resting. What a deal!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In my opinion, sleep is one of the most underrated health aspects of our generation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe’re all wrapped up in how much exercise we get and how many calories we consume… but sleep is often forgot about. Or, even worse, people pride themselves on how little sleep they get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope this article has helped make you think about how much 6 hours of sleep really is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
