A recent study has demonstrated that even just one night without sleep makes your brain lose serious balance.
Even if you have a sleepless night, it is enough to make your brain unstable and it limits your ability even with the simplest tasks.(Photo: www.dallas-sleep.com)
Almost no one can deny that I have had several sleepless times in my life, for many different reasons. The anxiety, restlessness for an exam, the completion of a project the next morning, the child harassing . all of these causes can make us stay up all night and have to face it. with its effects the next day.
We have also repeatedly told ourselves that a white night will not affect our health much, if we go to sleep a little early in the evening of the next day. However, that is not entirely true in this case. A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine - published in the Journal of Neuroscience, says that just one night of sleeplessness can make your brain 'shut down' temporarily!
David Dinges, one of the authors of the study, explains: 'Imagine, you are sitting in a room and watching a movie with room lights on. If your brain is sleepy, the light will suddenly turn off. And whether you are sleepy or still awake, the transition between the two states is very fast. '
The research team used fMRI brain capture method (functional magnetic resonance imaging). This method controls and measures blood flow in the brain. fRMI shows that at some areas of the brain where neglect occurs - does not work well in people who suffer from insomnia or lack of sleep and give the opposite result in people who sleep adequately.
Research shows that the lack of sleep in the brain intermingles between periods when the brain works almost normally and serious "distractions" of visual processing and concentration.
Through this study, we can draw a conclusion that, even if you just act yourself on a sleepless night, it will make your brain unstable and it will limit your ability immediately. even with the simplest tasks. This means that all of us should not stay up all night, even if sleeping is not recommended!
