A person spends 15 to 30 years in a state of sleep his entire life. But do not consider this time mediocrely spent - sleep is very important for the body. And the main problems do not begin in cases where there is a lot of sleep. They begin when there is too little of it. So do not forget to make pauses when you are playing the online live casino for Canadians. We tell you what threatens to refuse a night's rest for different periods of time. 

24 Hours

     A rare person has not spent at least once in his life a sleepless night. Whether it was preparing for exams, a friendly party, New Year's Eve, or night work, in the end. If after that there is an opportunity to sleep, then this is not so scary.

      If, after an active night, the same day follows, then a person may begin to have a headache. It will be difficult for him to concentrate. A brutal appetite will wake up. The body is trying to compensate for the lack of rest with high-calorie food. A sleepless person can drink liters of coffee, trying to recover, but this will not help for long. By the way, we recently talked about why coffee does not invigorate and how to drink it correctly.

      What are the risks of such a regular daily lack of sleep? First of all, problems with the cardiovascular and digestive systems.  They work to the limit due to a large number of fatty foods, coffee, and tea.

       Studies show that the consequences of one sleepless night on the body are comparable to cognitive impairment at 0.1% blood alcohol. This, by the way, increases the risk of getting into an accident.

36 Hours

       At this stage, your health is already at serious risk. First, you will be very sleepy. If this is not possible, you may begin to have microsleeps. Those are periods of falling out of reality. They can last from a fraction of a second to 30 seconds. But even this time is enough for you to lose control of what is happening around you and a disaster occurs.

      At the same time, inflammatory markers increase in the blood. This can lead to cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, as well as hormonal failure. Because cortisol continues to flow into the blood, which means you are in a state of prolonged stress.

     At this time, stomach pains may also appear. That is because glucose metabolism is disturbed due to lack of sleep. You will feel everything that you felt 12 hours ago but in a much larger volume. Dizziness, watery eyes, inhibited reactions, weakened immune system. Congratulations, you are almost a zombie.

48 Hours

        You literally sleep on the go - due to the extreme stage of sleep deprivation, your brain turns off more and more often, and microsleeps follow one after another. If you have not slept for two days, then most likely you will break loose on everyone around you. It will be very difficult to work. You will not be able to reason and keep the necessary information in your head.

       By the way, the blow falls on the immune system. A study of volunteers who refused sleep for three days, after 48 hours of wakefulness, showed a decrease in NK cells, which are called natural killer cells, by as much as 37%. NK cells play a key role in fighting viruses and tumor formation.

72 Hours

        After three days of insomnia, violations of the work of all body systems will begin. Even the gait will change. The person will move as if he was very drunk. Speech is disturbed, and chills, tremors, and nervous tics begin. Appetite, on the contrary, disappears. At this stage, continuing to refuse sleep is life-threatening.

      Another study published in the journal Comprehensive Psychiatry showed how 12 astronauts survived 72 hours without sleep. All participants in the experiment recorded tachycardia, depressive mood, and depression.

     It is important to understand that the more awake you are, the more difficult it will be to recover. So, just an hour of sleep loss will take four days to bounce back. Now think about how many days you haven't had enough sleep so far.
