Is staying up all night bad for your health?

Question

I suffer from Insomnia and some nights just can't fall asleep no matter what I try. I find myself staying up until daylight and then I feel so awful and although I try to sleep during the day I can hardly sleep until that next night.

Is it bad for my health to stay up all night?

Answer 1

Staying up all night should be avoided if at all possible. Getting very little sleep can lead to heart problems as well.

Getting at least 8 hours of sleep per night is essential to your health and well being. Your body needs sleep to recharge itself.
