Yawning all morning?
Need a coffee to get over that mid-afternoon slump?
Chances are you’re not getting enough
sleep.
Now, a large Norwegian study has shown the health consequences of insomnia can be disastrous to your health.

sleep [or struggle to fall a
sleep], it is possible that the disruption that we see could have an impact over time that ultimately determines their health outcomes as they age in later life,” said
Health24.
Here’s how your health will suffer if you don’t get enough sleep

sleep, adds
BBC News Health.

heart failure also reduce
insomnia; good diet, exercise,
weight loss and not smoking,” says
BBC News Health.
WebMD adds that you should also avoid alcohol before bedtime as it causes disturbances in
sleep, resulting in less restful
sleep.
