Scientists from the University of Tennessee have made an official statement about a new study, the results of which confirm that insomnia is not just a nuisance. This is a serious threat to health and even life, writes Medical News Today.
The good news is that this can be changed by taking care of your health and sleep quality now. Experts conducted a study involving more than 957 adults who voluntarily agreed to be under observation for six years. At the beginning of the experiment, they were all practically healthy, but many complained of sleep problems.
Six years later, it turned out that those subjects who suffered from chronic insomnia had problems with the normal functioning of the kidneys. Some of them developed serious kidney diseases, life-threatening. The researchers said that insomnia may be associated with a more than twofold risk of developing renal failure, including organ failure, and also increases the overall risk of mortality 1,5 times.
If you suffer from insomnia, it is important not to dismiss the problem by taking sleeping pills or staying up at night, but to see a specialist and look for the problem that is causing the lack of sleep or trouble falling asleep. In this case, in a few years, all risks can be reduced to zero.
