Dr. Olga Shashkova, an internal medicine specialist, announced that sleeping five hours a day may lead to irreversible processes in the body.

In an interview with the "Izvestia" newspaper, the doctor indicated that this condition may lead to serious diseases, including cancer and obesity.

She says: "What happens to a person if he sleeps 5 hours a day for a week, a month, a year or more?" If this happens once, the body may not feel the effort that affects performance, fatigue and productivity during the day. Sleep, it initiates processes against the background of disturbing the body's biological clock rhythm, leading to sleep disturbances, hormonal disorders, obesity, impaired glucose and insulin tolerance, and as a result to diabetes and cancer.

According to her, against the background of lack of sleep, serious consequences associated with the imbalance of energy metabolism and the metabolism process in general can appear.

She says: “The production of cortisol, melatonin and somatotropin will be disturbed, fat will be accumulated severely, leptin and transcript will rise to a lower basal level of lipid oxidation in the blood. All this can lead to overeating, obesity and the development of type 2 diabetes, Chronic stress, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, irregular menstruation, infertility, and even cancer, especially breast cancer... In short, metabolic syndrome develops against the background of a disturbance of the circadian rhythm."

In addition, chronic lack of sleep affects a person's psycho-emotional state and performance. Therefore, people who do not always get enough sleep are at risk of stress and emotional outbursts, that is, they cannot cope with stressful situations. As a general rule, they are irritable, whiny, sedentary, inattentive, and physically inactive and have a significantly reduced libido.

“Is it possible to compensate for the lack of sleep at the weekend? Yes, of course it is possible if the lack of sleep occurs once. But if this is a permanent condition in life, then it leads to the development of pathological processes. Compensating for it on the weekend is like overeating,” she says Food for the future. That is simply impossible. Excessive eating is wrong and sometimes dangerous to health. The same applies to sleep, as it is not possible to sleep for a long time as a reserve for the future. In addition to that, excessive sleep is harmful to health, because it leads to Disruption of the circadian rhythm, so when a person sleeps longer than usual, they feel that their body is "broken" and they suffer from weakness, headaches and low energy.
