Lack of Sleep Side Effects

Lack of Sleep Side Effects

We have all felt the sting of a poor night’s sleep. With endlessly busy lives full of forty hour work weeks, carpools, dentist appointments, school, family, friends, and so much more, it is nearly impossible to avoid late nights and early mornings. But there is no doubt that prolonged sleeplessness can have some very serious and very negative effects on our bodies and our minds. More and more often, individuals with chronic sleeplessness are turning to prescription sleep medications for aid. The following lists the most severe and dangerous side effects Lack of Sleep can have:

1. Death: While sleeplessness has not been proven to actually cause death, there are several factors involved with insomnia and poor sleeping habits that may. Those who suffer from sleeplessness are significantly more likely to turn to alcohol abuse and substance abuse. Moreover, individuals who regularly get little to no sleep are far more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression. With the combination of alcohol and controlled substances and depression, insomnia can have some very dire consequences. Generally, experts believe that the body would merely shut down and sleep, before an individual would actually die from not sleeping. However, there has been very little research actually performed around this hypothesis because the experiment is just too dangerous.

2. Psychosis: One of the most troublesome side effects of severe sleep deprivation is psychosis. When an individual suffers from psychosis they are often described as having a complete break from reality. They may experience personality changes or hallucinations. When associated with sleep deprivation, psychosis is usually only temporary, but it can lead to some very serious issues. Accompanied by psychosis an individual may experience severe depression and anxiety as well. These conditions drastically impair an individual’s ability to perform everyday tasks and worsen an individual’s quality of life.

3. Obesity: It is no secret that obesity rates throughout America have escalated into a huge problem in recent years. Many health experts are calling the current obesity trend throughout the country an epidemic. Several studies preformed over that past decade have shown that individuals who sleep less are more likely to overeat and, therefore, more likely to become obese. Furthermore, stress and depression (two side effects of sleeplessness) have been shown to contribute to an individual’s weight gain. Obesity is a very dangerous condition. Experts have calculated that obesity is not only more expensive for both the country and an individual than smoking cigarettes, but is also more deadly than smoking cigarettes. While (of course) one night of not sleeping will not make you obese, a constant lifestyle of sleeping too little may.

4. Type 2 Diabetes: Numerous studies have shown that a person suffering from sleep deprivation is much more susceptible to developing Type 2 Diabetes than a person who gets an adequate amount of sleep each night. It is important to note, however, that this result is only associated with chronic insomnia, not just poor sleeping habits. Type 2 Diabetes is a very serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is associated with several other debilitating conditions as well, including hypertension, high cholesterol, blindness, kidney failure, obesity, and many more.

5. Suppressed Immune System: Lack of sleep affects almost all aspects of our physiological and psychological health. Sleeplessness has a negative effect on our body’s ability to heal itself. In other words, insomnia and frequent sleepless nights may lead to a decrease in your immune system’s ability to function properly. A weakened immune system (as one might imagine) can lead to several very serious complications. For example, in the study linked to above, individuals who received less than seven hours of sleep a night were almost three times more likely to develop the common cold than those who received eight or more hours of sleep. Even more worrisome, a weakened immune system can lead to chronic disease and severe infections. Several studies have put forth data that suggests a link between the production of disease-fighting cells (white blood cells) and adequate sleep.

Resume and Cover Letters

It was a rainy afternoon just like the past few days. I was reminiscing events that happened and I remembered my online part time job. Aside from the day-to-day work in a hotel, I still managed to have one.

My employer gave me another work and that is to be a Team Leader -- to be in-charge of posting jobs with his approval. Sometimes I'm tasked to review different resumes and cover letters of applicants. This time I felt what it was like to be an employer. You do revisions for your job posting, you post it, and wait for notifications that someone just applied for the job! With that, I've observed different strategies of employees just for them to stand out and be hired. But there are also some who just send a cover letter and after reading it, it will make you say "Is he/ she really applying?", "Why is his/ her strengths and weaknesses not included here? Have he/ she read the instructions carefully?", or "Oh my! Does he/ she know he's being rude with what he/ she informed here?".

A lot of people, including me, experienced a difficult time in just making both a resume and cover letter! Of course you not only make sure that the details are updated, but also have a unique presentation to be noticed. I would like to share these things that I have read in a book about resumes and cover letters:

A resume serves as your calling card, your dossier, your official representative because it presents a general outline or summary of your experiences and qualifications with one specific purpose -- to get you invited for interview. You must write it in such a way that it will give the best impression of you. It is tailored carefully to meet the employer's needs for the job you're applying for. Furthermore, you should make your own resume according to your taste and the job applied for.

A resume is not used by itself. It has to be organized to accompany a cover letter. A cover letter must be short since its function are to introduce a resume and to make reference to additional supporting papers which will be sent separately from the resume. It should contain details about the skills considered by the employer as important and should state your reason for your interest on the job.

There are different styles you could use in making your resume. Here are just some examples of resumes that I have searched from the web, just for you guys to see the format used:

a mechanic resume and a functional resume

















I apologize if ever you can't view this properly.

There! To those of you who would be applying and are planning to apply for a job, you could use this bit of information in the future. So, good luck! =)

Work after being sick

I just got back to work after a two-day rest from having malady. Some of my friends asked me how I felt ... why I got sick ... if I'm already OK ... and so on. I really felt the importance that they gave me, especially from those who sent me text messages to ask my current condition and to who visited at the hospital. I also received queries from persons I'm not closed with. I went ... wow! They do care as well. =)

Then the usual day occurred having a lot of compilation to do -- documents to be fixed on file. Good thing I already regained my strength, thus I've been able to finish fixing documents in the 11 full drawers. I didn't count how many folders that was cause it may drive me insane. =D

At around 3 pm, we all took a short break to eat muffins.















Then continued to work again after -- filing, cutting reminders, etc.

I barely noticed that it was already past 6 in the evening. After making a short note to endorse what I've finished for the day, time for me to go. Just as I went out the door, the buffet table caught my attention. I went near it to see what they are offering for the night and saw a lot for a Mongolian Buffet (yum yum!). In case you may be wondering, I took these pictures to share it with you guys.

This is the salad section where they have greens, tomatoes, and cucumber. And also the dessert section, with fruits and tiny slices of different cakes.













This is where they cook the ingredients of your choice. In this case, they are cooking beef and pork with some greens as requested by the guest.















After quite a while, I talked to my chef friend. We had just enough conversations to ask each other how we were and I already headed to make my time out.

As I walked towards the locker room at 15 minutes past 6, I took this picture. Though it doesn't look a bit dark here.

















A large fog amidst the mountains ... rain drops fallin' on my umbrella.

(sigh) Another day at work has ended.

It's a cold and rainy evening! =)
