If you sleep for 2 nights is not of very can trigger excessive hunger. This condition occurs because the hormone ghrelin stimulates appetite and leptin mengurango as an appetite suppressant.

Over time, this can lead to weight gain. In a study conducted on identical twins by University of Washington found that those sleeping 7-9 hours each night, the average body mass index of 24.8, almost 2 points lower than the average Body Mass Index (BMI) of their lack of sleep.

2. Antibodies to be weak
According to the JAMA study, those who slept less than 7 hours per night could be 3 times more susceptible to the cold. Another study found that men who sleep less will fail to maintain the immune response or immune system normally after receiving a flu shot. Those who sleep less, antibodies that work after the vaccination only lasts a maximum of 10 days. The condition is very dangerous.

therefore, improve sleep quality, to boost your immunity. If too little sleep your immune system can be compromised.

Sugar is the fuel of every cell in your body. If the process is interrupted processing can cause adverse effects. In a study by the University of Chicago, USA, which examined a number of people for 6 days, get this condition can develop resistance to insulin, a hormone that helps transport glucose from the bloodstream into the cells.

Those who sleep less than 6 hours per night in the 6-day finding, a process which is not proper sugar metabolism. The result can lead to the onset of diabetes.
4. Stress increases

Anxiety each night will definitely continue to haunt those who have poor sleep quality. The reaction of the body can be decreased. More chronic again, happy feelings will not approach life the less sleep. "Sleep and mood set by the same brain chemical," says Joyce Walsleben, PhD. This can increase the risk of developing depression, but probably only for those who are already vulnerable to disease.

6. Look older
Those who sleep less usually have pale skin and tired face. "Even worse, increased levels of cortisol can slow the production of collagen which triggered the wrinkles faster," said Jyotsna Sahni, MD, a sleep problem at Canyon Ranch, Tucson.

7. Various pain can arise
Not surprisingly, chronic pain such as back problems or arthritis can happen when you make a bad sleep activity. In a study from Johns Hopkins Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program, director Michael Smith, PhD, waking in healthy young adults for 20 minutes every hour for 8 hours for 3 consecutive days. As a result, they have a lower pain tolerance, and susceptible to pain.

8. Higher risk of cancer
Exercise helps prevent cancer, but too little shut eye can damage the protective effect. Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health study examined nearly 6,000 women for about a decade and found that sports fans who slept 7 hours or less per night had a 50% greater chance of cancer than those who regularly exercise and have a good sleep quality .

Because poor quality sleep can cause hormonal and metabolic disorders associated with cancer risk, and can 'erase' the benefits of exercise.
