Feeling tired is the least debilitating effect of insomnia.
There are potentially far more serious outcomes that come from the continued lack of sleep.
Memory loss, irritability and slowed reflexes are all common complaints.
In addition, 85 percent of individuals suffering report other health problems that arise from the disorder Memory and concentration problems.
Getting up in the morning without sufficient sleep will negatively affect your memory and cause concentration problems.
Headaches and a fuzzy brain are similar complaints.
Obviously these can lead to poor results at school or in the workplace.
Your brain needs to rest as much as your body to reinforce the experiences of the previous day.
If you miss out on sufficient REM dreaming than your cognitive abilities will decrease.
You may forget important things, miss key moments and even the simplest things may slip your mind.
Mood swings and irritability We all know how tough it is to get out of bed in the morning if we haven't slept well.
It's so easy to be angry with our friends, family and workmates for no reason and to let the smallest thing get the better of us.
It's not just trivial things either.
Many sufferers report that their relationships break down because of personality changes brought on by the lack of rest and an inability to adjust socially.
Fights and marriage stress can cause anxiety and unfortunately make the chance of insomnia even worse.
Slowed Reflexes Insomnia doesn't just cause mental issues.
Sleep is essential for repair of cells and body functions damaged during our day to day activities.
The cost of not getting enough is a slowed response to outside stimulus, or slowed reflexes.
This is potentially deadly when combined with driving cars or operating heavy machinery.
Some studies have shown that poor rest is the equivalent of several alcoholic drinks before getting behind the wheel.
It is a scary thought.
Poor sleep is directly linked with adverse health outcomes, memory and concentration lapses, bad moods and a short temper and an increased risk of accident leading to injury or even death.
Many medications that are used to treat the disorder can make things even worse.
Don't underestimate the negative effects of insomnia.
