" Studies showed that sleep deprivation can cause hypertension which increases the risk of stroke by up to 7 times."
Most people don't get enough sleep. Ideally, we should have an eight hour sleep every day. However, many of us often stay awake until late at night and wake up early in the morning.
The immediate effects of not having enough sleep include mood instability, lower concentration and alertness. Sleep deprivation increases the risk for accidents and injuries. It also reduces the productivity at work. The long term effects of regular sleep deprivation are far more damaging. Chronic sleep deprivation is known to cause depression, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and premature ageing.
Sleep Deprivation and Depression
According to Harvard Medical School, sleep deprivation affects 50% to 80% of patients in a typical psychiatric practise. Sleep deprivation increases the risk of developing mental illness such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). On the other hand, a good quality sleep at night improves mental and emotional strength.
Studies showed that aromatherapy can be used to ease stress, anxiety and depression. Rose essential oil is known for its antidepressant properties. It also has calming effects on the skin. Stress can trigger skin sensitivity. To help calm sensitive skin, apply Bio-Collagen Serum every morning and evening on freshly cleansed skin underneath a moisturiser. This ultra calming anti-ageing formula contains vitamin B3, B5, E, rose flower extract, saccharide isomerate and 24-karat gold to gently calm sensitive skin and renew the appearance of the skin.
“ I created Bio-Collagen Serum as a birthday present to my mum. This supreme anti-ageing serum is now the heart of my own daily skincare routine.”

Sleep Deprivation and Obesity
Sleep deprivation slows down the body's metabolism and increases water retention. People who sleep less than 7 hours per night are more prone to weight gain. Many studies showed that there is a close correlation between sleep deprivation and weight gain. One particular study suggests that people who sleep less than 5 hours per night is at a 40% increased risk of obesity compared to those who get 7 to 8 hours sleep per night.
Sleep Deprivation and Diabetes
Studies showed that adults need about 8 hours sleep per night for the normal regulation of metabolism. Not getting enough sleep regularly makes our body less capable of regulating blood sugar levels. Sleeping 4 to 5 hours per night reduces the body's glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Sleep deprivation increases the risk of developing diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes.
While chronic sleep deprivation can cause a temporarily hair loss due to stress, diabetes is known to cause chronic inflammation and restrict blood flow to hair follicles. If you suffer from hair loss, use Hair Loss Solution for Men and Women to stop thinning hair and promote new hair growth. Formulated with caffeine, multivitamins, menthol and rosemary essential oil, these synergistic anti hair loss formulas are suitable for all types of hair loss.
" I developed Hair Loss Solution for Men and Women to help me dealing with my own androgenic alopecia."

Sleep Deprivation and Heart Disease
Sleep deprivation increases the risk for chronic inflammation, a condition which has been associated with heart disease. Studies showed that even a one-time sleepless night can cause immediate elevated blood pressure in people who have existing hypertension. Hypertension increases the risk of stroke by up to 7 times (International Journal of Hypertension).
Sleep Deprivation Causes Premature Ageing
Sleep deprivation causes our body including the skin to age prematurely. Our body is regenerating itself while we are sleeping at night. Sleep deprivation reduces the body's ability to renew and repair damaged cells. To boost the skin's ability to renew itself, apply Antioxidant Youthful Essence to freshly cleansed face and neck every morning and evening. Formulated with vitamin C, B5, E and ferulic acid, this multi-award-winning complexion repair serum boosts skin radiance and reduces the signs of ageing such as wrinkles, lines and uneven skin tone.
" Antioxidant Youthful Essence is the first anti-ageing formula that I created for my own skin. 20 years on, I still use this ultimate serum complex every day."
