CAN'T SLEEP SOUNDLY? HERE COMES THE SUPER BANANA FOR YOU!

I am a nocturnal kind of person. I work at night and sleep during daytime. I have been in BPO industry for like three years already. For all these years, I am on night shift.

Frankly, I have been having a problem with my sleep recently. Just a little noise, I then wake up. Things are playing around in my mind and I just don't know why.

Looking back to my previous employment I had, I never had any problem with my sleeping habit. On one hand, I was working daytime for those years. My body clock behave so well.

I was exploring steemit and browsing for a good read. I came across @kenhudoy's blog. He discussed about the benefit of banana to sleeping habit. Here is the link of his blog: https://steemit.com/steamhealth/@kenhudoy/use-banana-peel-tea-as-best-natural-remedy-to-treat-insomnia . With that opportunity, I then tried it and made a further research.

10 Things to Hate About Sleep Loss

1. Sleepiness Causes Accidents
   Sleep deprivation was a factor in some of the biggest disasters in recent history: the 1979 nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, the massive Exxon Valdez oil spill, the 1986 nuclear meltdown at Chernobyl, and others.
2. Sleep Loss Dumbs You Down
   Sleep plays a critical role in thinking and learning. Lack of sleep hurts these cognitive processes in many ways. First, it impairs attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem solving. This makes it more difficult to learn efficiently.
3. Sleep Deprivation Can Lead to Serious Health Problems
   Sleep disorders and chronic sleep loss can put you at risk for: Heart disease, Heart attack, Heart failure, Irregular heartbeat, High blood pressure, Stroke, Diabetes
4. Lack of Sleep Kills Sex Drive
   Sleep specialists say that sleep-deprived men and women report lower libidos and less interest in sex. Depleted energy, sleepiness, and increased tension may be largely to blame.
5. Sleepiness Is Depressing
   Over time, lack of sleep and sleep disorders can contribute to the symptoms of depression. In a 2005 Sleep in America poll, people who were diagnosed with depression or anxiety were more likely to sleep less than six hours at night.
6. Lack of Sleep Ages Your Skin
   Most people have experienced sallow skin and puffy eyes after a few nights of missed sleep. But it turns out that chronic sleep loss can lead to lackluster skin, fine lines, and dark circles under the eyes
7. Sleepiness Makes You Forgetful
   Trying to keep your memory sharp? Try getting plenty of sleep.
   In 2009, American and French researchers determined that brain events called “sharp wave ripples” are responsible for consolidating memory. The ripples also transfer learned information from the hippocampus to the neocortex of the brain, where long-term memories are stored. Sharp wave ripples occur mostly during the deepest levels of sleep.
8. Losing Sleep Can Make You Gain Weight
   When it comes to body weight, it may be that if you snooze, you lose. Lack of sleep seems to be related to an increase in hunger and appetite, and possibly to obesity. According to a 2004 study, people who sleep less than six hours a day were almost 30 percent more likely to become obese than those who slept seven to nine hours.
9. Lack of Sleep May Increase Risk of Death
   In the “Whitehall II Study,” British researchers looked at how sleep patterns affected the mortality of more than 10,000 British civil servants over two decades. The results, published in 2007, showed that those who had cut their sleep from seven to five hours or fewer a night nearly doubled their risk of death from all causes. In particular, lack of sleep doubled the risk of death from cardiovascular disease
10. Sleep Loss Impairs Judgment, Especially About Sleep
    Lack of sleep can affect our interpretation of events. This hurts our ability to make sound judgments because we may not assess situations accurately and act on them wisely.
