Tired men buy more than they should

Tired men should only go shopping in the supermarket

Tired men run the risk of more shopping than sleepy. Not only that's why you should pay attention to a sufficient night's sleep.

Tired men buy more
Men who have a sleepless night should take a shopping list with them to the supermarket, otherwise they run the risk of bringing too much home. Tired men would buy an average of 20 percent more than sleepy test buyers. This reports the „pharmacy magazine“ in their current issue, referring to Swedish researchers. Not sleeping would not only bring home larger amounts but also more calories than intended.

Health risks due to lack of sleep
In order to have a good night's rest, according to experts, humans need their own optimal sleep duration, which everyone has to get to know for themselves. If you sleep too little, health risks arise. For example, Francesco Cappuccio and colleagues from the English University of Warwick introduced a few years ago „European Heart Journal“ a study suggesting that less than six hours of sleep per night carries an increased risk of overweight, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In addition, there is a 15 percent increase in stroke risk, the experts reported in the relevant article. (Ad)
