I'm certain that most of us have not gotten a consistent enough hours of sleep everyday since quarantine happened. Some of us may have, and, yeah good for them. But for those who experienced being a wake all night long and sleep when the sun is up, gets less than 8 hours of sleep everyday -- or in short, have a bad sleeping habit, you maybe wondering what are the factors that causes this and why you should stop it now and fix it. As we all know it affects our over-all body and performance. Maybe it physically, mentally and even emotionally. 1. SOCIAL JET LAG - Irregular sleep schedules and broken sleep-wake times are not just an occasional traveling phenomenon, but a wider problem due to our social lives conflicting with our sleep patterns. 2. INTERNAL ALARM CLOCK - Our internal body clocks are better programmed to help us sleep and wake up , according to our unique body chemistry and energy levels. Ignoring our internal body clocks in favor of the alarm clock, and following our social obligations, sacrificing on sleep, is taking its toll on our health. 3. POOR SLEEP - As our patterns shift, leading to poor or no rest, there are a bunch of diseases that become more likely such as obesity, high blood pressure, alzheimer's disease, metabolic imbalances and heart disease. 4. NIGHT SHIFTS - The World Health of Organization has listed night-shift work as a cause of cancer in our bodies. These are some of the factors, intentionally or unintentionally, that causes us to have a bad sleeping habit. Let us try our best to fix this now because at the end of the day, health is wealth.
