It\u2019s the morning of your big presentation, and you feel\nas if you slept a grand total of 30 minutes last night. The yawns keep coming,\nand you\u2019re convinced there\u2019s not enough coffee in the world that can get you\nthrough the day. Between the baby crying, dogs barking, and the battle between\n\u201cAm I cold or hot,\u201d it\u2019s no wonder you\u2019re exhausted. Interrupted\nsleep<\/a> might not sound \u201charmful,\u201d but it can negatively affect more than\njust your performance at work or school. Read on to learn just how impactful\nthese constant disruptions can be to your overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Waking Up on the Wrong Side of the Bed: You Become Irritable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a child, you are probably aware of just how\nirritable they can be when woken up too early or are just too tired but can\u2019t\nseem to settle down. The same can be said for adults, too. When you don\u2019t get\nenough sleep, or your sleep is interrupted, you are more likely to take on the\npersona of Oscar the Grouch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your brain needs time to rest and store all the events and\ninformation of the day. When it is unable to do so, you will be more irritable,\nand you can even develop signs of depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Did I Leave My Keys: You Are Forgetful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your brain is already unable to store memories of the day\nwhile you\u2019re asleep, it\u2019s also going to be more difficult for it to learn and\nmake new memories. Lack of sleep leads to forgetfulness, and this can\nnegatively affect all areas of your life, especially work and school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait, I Missed My Turn: You\u2019re Unable to React Quickly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re normally someone who is known for your \u201cdad or\nmom-like reflexes,\u201d meaning you can catch a rolling sippy cup or falling child\nwith no problem, sleep deprivation will significantly hinder that ability. Your\nattention span and ability to think and act fast will slow down, making it a\nstrong possibility that you will forget to break before running into the car in\nfront of you in the drop-off line at school. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Am I: Your Brain Declines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most devastating aspect of interrupted sleep is the\nlong-term effects it can have on your brain. Harmful proteins are removed while\nyou sleep. These are called amyloid proteins, and they\u2019ve been linked to\nneurological diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s. When you\u2019re unable to get the rest\nyou need, these proteins begin to build up, leaving you with a higher chance of\ndeveloping this devastating condition later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are experiencing any of the above-mentioned signs,\nyou should talk to your sleep dentist about undergoing a sleep study. This will\nhelp to determine if you are one of the millions of Americans suffering from\napnea. If so, your dental professional can begin to work with you to find a\ntreatment that will help you get the rest you need and ultimately, improve your\noverall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
