Poor Sleep Triggers More Than Bags; It Summons Pain

Pain is not a word that’s often thrown into the conversation on poor sleep, even though poor sleep can lead to muscle and joint pain. Instead, a conversation on poor sleep ushers in thoughts of bags under your eyes, a cartoon animal taping his eyelids open, and sluggishness that’s only fixed with a cup of coffee. But those pesky bags under your eyes are the least of your worries when poor sleep is a nighttime ritual.

Poor Sleep & Pain Go Hand-In-Hand

Research proves that poor sleep:

  • Lowers your pain tolerance
  • Increases the intensity of your pain
  • Increases your chances of experiencing chronic pain

What the above bullets mean is that poor sleep changes your resiliency to pain, and it alters how acutely your pain is felt. Even though pain is enough of a reason to strongly consider tackling sleep issues, there are a few more facts about poor sleep that might further incentivize you to make proper sleep a priority:

  • Weight gain
  • Decreased concentration
  • Decreased productivity
  • Increased risk of heart disease
  • Increased risk of stroke
  • Increased inflammation
  • Higher likelihood of experiencing depression
  • And more!

Counting Z’s Isn’t Just for Sleeping Beauty

The CDC, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reports that “1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep.” Why does it matter if you’d rather devote hours toward binge-watching Netflix and diving headfirst into the black hole of social media than sleep?

  • Be “more stressed, creating a higher risk of developing hypertension.”
  • Be “more likely to experience weight gain.”

You’re Never Too Old to Hear “Go to Bed!”

She’s exhausted.

After a school day of dodging gossip and stressing about tests and her reflection in the bathroom mirror, she enters an afternoon and evening of merry-go-round extracurriculars and an eat-when-you-can dinner. With the little energy she has left, she crawls into bed and hoovers her phone within a few inches of her face, the light from her tiny screen illuminating her bedroom and pulling her into a hypnotic social media-induced trance. Within seconds, she falls into the social media dark hole,
