Read the passage given below and answer the questions: 1x5=5M
Getting a good night’s sleep can help you cope with stress more effectively. But not getting enough
sleep can cause more stress. Insomnias have higher concentrations of stress hormones than others.
Women are prone to sleep disturbances. Their sleep problems frequently interfere with their daily
activities.
Experts believe that sleep, especially deep sleep, enables our nervous system to function well.
Without it, we lose our ability to concentrate, remember or analyse. Some experts speculate that
during deep sleep, cells manufacture more proteins, which are essential for cell growth and repair of
damage from things like stress and ultraviolet rays.
Sleep may also help our brain to store a newly learned activity in its memory bank. In a study in
Canada, students deprived of sleep after learning a complex logic game showed a 30% learning
deficit when tested a week later compared with students not deprived of sleep.
The effects of sleep deprivation on other bodily functions are just an alarming. In studies from five
medical centres across the country, researchers established that individuals with insomnia were
also more likely to have poor health, including chest pain, arthritis and depression, and to have
difficulty accomplishing daily tasks. Another breakthrough study revealed that even temporary loss
of sleep can affect the body’s ability to break down carbohydrates, interfere with the function of
various hormones and worsen the severity of ailments such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
So whatever works to help you sleep well, whether its regular exercise earlier in the day, weekly
massages, yoga, meditation or lavender-scented bath, make time for it today.
