Is Your Lifestyle Causing You Sleep Deprivation?

Sleep deprivation is a way of life for many Americans or others in western worlds. Sometimes you have to put in a lot of extra hours during the day to get things accomplished. For instance, for some people as soon as they get home from work there are additional duties to perform. These duties may include running the kids to practice, making dinner and helping with homework, cleaning up and getting the bills paid. It’s not easy to work and perform these additional duties all in one day, but it is something that has to be done.

We spend so much time rushing and hurrying until we leave very little time for sleeping. Many of us struggle to get things done daily. When we finally go to bed we find ourselves unable to sleep for thinking about things we did not get accomplished.

Our lifestyles greatly affect how much sleep we get. If you are fatigued and sleepless these are symptoms of sleep deprivation which can be caused by your lifestyle choices. There are several lifestyle choices you make that cause sleep deprivation. Some are:

. Assuming too much caffeine – Caffeine is a stimulant that keeps you awake at night even when it’s drunk several hours before bedtime.

. Your work shift – When your job requires you to work different hours from one day to the next sleep deprivation becomes almost a way of life.

. You may be too busy with other faucets of life to get enough sleep.

If you think you have sleep deprivation your lifestyle is probably partially the blame for it. Take a look at your lifestyle and see if you are doing anything that could be causing this condition. If possible, make changes to your lifestyle so sleep deprivation does not affect you physically, mentally or emotionally.
