Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Five warning signs that your lack of sleep means it's time to seek help
Caption: Five warning signs that your lack of sleep means it's time to seek help. Dr Deborah Lee, in partnership with Bed Factory Direct, shares five key signs that your lack of sleep may be indicative of a deeper problem. Chronic fatigue despite adequate rest If you're consistently feeling tired during the day, even after getting what should be enough sleep, it could signal a more serious underlying problem. ”Chronic fatigue can be a sign of sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea or narcolepsy, which prevent restful, restorative sleep, leaving you feeling exhausted even after a full night's sleep.” Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep Struggling to fall asleep or waking up multiple times throughout the night is another red flag. ”The concern here is that these sleep disturbances, especially when they persist for several weeks, may indicate conditions like insomnia, anxiety, or even depression.” Difficulty concentrating or forgetfulness Poor concentration, brain fog and forgetfulness are common signs that you're not getting enough sleep. ”When we don't get enough sleep, the brain doesn't have the opportunity to consolidate memories or perform essential restorative functions.” Dr Lee added that this can lead to impaired decision-making over time. Increased health problems Long-term sleep deprivation is linked to an increased risk of chronic health conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Dr Lee warns that “if you're already dealing with any of these conditions and your sleep quality is poor, it's critical to seek help from a healthcare professional.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
