Do you often spend the night tossing and turning because you have difficulty sleeping? Depriving yourself of a good night sleep can cause several drawbacks in the morning. It’s imperative for people to rest especially at night in order to reenergize and de-stress the body. Below are proofs you’re not sleeping well.

  1. You have dark circles under your eyes

The most obvious reason you’re not getting enough sleep is the presence of dark circles under your eyes that no amount of makeup can hide. Aside from the presence of dark circles, your eyes lack that sparkle a good sleep offers.

  1. You are cranky during the day

You are irritable and snap at everybody and it’s not even your period! People who lack sleep are easily irritated even with simple things like the light coming through the windows or the ringing of the phone.

  1. You take a nap at work

Taking a short nap while at the workplace is a sign you didn’t get enough sleep the night before. You rest your eyes for a minute and suddenly you’re already off to dreamland.

  1. You have poor memory

The lack of sleep can also affect the functions of the brain. It’s common to find people who suffer from lack of sleep to have poor memory span. You tend to forget a lot of things such as where you put your cell phone and even worse such as forgetting to work on an assigned task.

  1. You are sluggish

The fact that you were not able to recharge your batteries means you become sluggish especially at work. You move around like a zombie or a robot on a remote control. You just don’t have the drive to move your body.

  1. You lack concentration

It’s also hard to concentrate when all you think about is lying on that soft bed and resting your head on your favourite pillow. You may be physically present, but your mind is somewhere else.

  1. You eat too much

In order to combat sleepiness during the day, the tendency of most people who lack sleep is to eat a lot. They want something to munch on while working to avoid sleeping. Others even drink cup after cup of hot coffee to keep them awake.

If you experience these signs you’re not sleeping well, it’s time to give your body its well-deserved sleep. A change in your diet and lifestyle can do the trick.
