Recently, during the mid-year promotion, the heat of early summer combined with busy daytime work led me to stay up late shopping online at night. This resulted in unintentional late nights focused on a single task. Even those not shopping might use their evenings to watch shows or read, leading to accidental late nights. Whenever I stay up late, I feel tired the next day, and over time, this habit makes my body feel worse.
So, what are the effects of sleep on the body? What are the blood pressure and oxygen levels during good sleep and insomnia?
The Impact of Sleep on the Body
Immune System:
Good Sleep: Enhances immune function, promoting the production and efficiency of immune cells.
Insomnia: Weakens the immune system, increasing the risk of infections and illnesses.
Cardiovascular Health:
Good Sleep: Helps in the repair and maintenance of the heart and blood vessels, reducing the risk of hypertension and heart disease.
Insomnia: Increases the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke.
Emotional and Mental Health:
Good Sleep: Improves mood, reduces anxiety and depression symptoms, and enhances cognitive function and memory.
Insomnia: Increases anxiety, depression, and mood swings, and impairs cognitive function and memory.
Metabolism and Weight:
Good Sleep: Maintains normal metabolic functions, aiding in weight management.
Insomnia: Disrupts metabolism, increasing the risk of obesity and diabetes.
Blood Pressure and Blood Oxygen Levels with Good Sleep vs. Insomnia
Good Sleep: During sleep, the sympathetic nervous system activity decreases, leading to lower heart rate and blood pressure, allowing the cardiovascular system to rest and recover.
Insomnia: Persistent sympathetic nervous system activation results in higher blood pressure, especially at night, increasing the risk of cardiovascular events.
Good Sleep: Typically, blood oxygen levels remain stable during sleep, ensuring adequate oxygen supply to body tissues.
Insomnia: While insomnia itself may not directly cause significant drops in blood oxygen levels, chronic sleep deprivation can alter breathing patterns, potentially affecting oxygen saturation, especially in individuals with sleep apnea.
Overall, sufficient and quality sleep is crucial for maintaining various bodily functions, while chronic insomnia can have negative effects on cardiovascular health, the immune system, mental health, and metabolism. Therefore, maintaining good sleep habits is essential for overall health.
