Scientists: On the days off impossible to have one’s sleep out
The American scientists from Northwest University during the session of the USA National Academy of Sciences informed, that it is impossible to have one’s sleep out, sleeping off on the days off.
Scientists also have told about the results of the research. In the research experts used experimental rats, which were forced not to get enough sleep some days in a row. As a result, they stopped to want sleep, even, despite of an increasing sleep shortage.
Therefore researchers have drawn a conclusion, that as a result of chronic sleep shortage the mechanism of nervous system recovery during the sleep stops its work. Besides such people do not want to sleep, and this is very dangerous, as they do not feel necessity for a sleep.
As a result of chronic not getting enough sleep people became less efficient, put on the weight, became irritable, suffer from hallucinations and heart diseases. One more problem - cells of a brain loose their ability to restoration that leads to heavy mental disorders.
Experts inform that since 1960 average sleep duration has decreased from eight to six hours a day.
