Science suggests that we should begin to think of sleeping early as MUST rather than a suggestion or a habit. Here are some of the dangerous outcomes that arise from not sleeping well.

Sleeping helps you think straight. According to certified neurologists, “sleep deprivation may result in slowed thinking, decreased alertness, and reduced ability to pay attention.

Sleeping is important for good eyesight. Not getting enough sleep can lead to sight issues. Not getting enough sleep can cause eyelid muscle twitching along with debilitating dry eyes. It can also impact how the optic nerve connects to the brain.

Sleeping prevents certain heart problems. Sleep deprivation, according to heart cardiologists, is a risk for heart attacks and strokes. This is reached through disruptive blood pressure and sugar metabolism.

Sleeping maintains healthy weight. Sleep deprivation can cause a person to gain unhealthy weight. This happens when fat is stored in all the wrong places as a result of hunger hormones.

Sleeping keeps from chronic diseases. Many specialized doctors have reached a consensus on the idea that lack of sleep can lead to greater risk of chronic diseases, in addition to impacting depression.

In a tweet announcing the news on Sunday, the ministry of municipalities and rural affairs stated that it was eliminating several requirements for restaurants, including the need for ‘an entrance for bachelors and a separate entrance for families’.

However, It remains unclear whether a restriction on seating inside the restaurants will also be removed.
