Have you noticed how bad you feel the next day after you slept poorly the night before? Cold sweats, minutes without sleep, frequent awakenings to go to the toilet, constant coughing, so sleep turns into a nightmare in itself. It seems that the way we sleep is an indicator of good health or not. According to Google data, the search term sleep and its connection to health has seen an upward trend with 8,900% of searches in the last three months. But what are the health problems that bad and poor quality sleep actually indicates!
- Hormonal insomnia
Another form of insomnia is hormonal, which comes as a result of hormone fluctuations, and since hormones are closely related to your sleep cycle, if they are disrupted, it can lead to sleep disturbances. If you are experiencing persistent insomnia, you may have low melatonin levels.
- Constant fatigue
Low levels of the hormone progesterone disrupt the deep sleep cycle and can cause insomnia, night sweats and sleep apnea. This is because progesterone calms the brain and is even called the body's natural antidepressant.
- Diabetes
Many people living with type 2 diabetes have trouble sleeping. This is due to unstable blood sugar levels, which, if too low, can cause insomnia and fatigue, and if too high, cause frequent urination.
- High blood pressure
Studies have shown that people with high blood pressure often experience insomnia. High blood pressure occurs as a result of the high force used to pump blood through the veins. This puts stress on the blood vessels and can cause headaches, difficulty breathing and even chest pain.
-Overactive thyroid
Hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) causes the thyroid gland to overproduce hormones. Hormones produced by the thyroid affect body temperature, heart rate and even weight. Imbalances in thyroid hormones can cause sleep problems.
