Yet, Another Problem Associated with Sleep Deprivation

If you remember, in some of my past blogs I addressed some of the health issues that face people who don't get enough sleep and proper sleep.  Now, a new study out of Denmark attributes low sperm count to sleep deprivation.

The study suggests that a full 20% of men have both reduced sperm counts and malformed sperm.  Some 953 men, mostly in their twenties, were asked about their sleep patterns and also had tests run on their sperm.

"In general, the worse that men slept, the poorer the quality of their semen was. For instance, the men who had slept the poorest had a 25 percent reduction in sperm count, and had 1.6 percent fewer sperm that were morphologically normal, compared with men who reported low levels of sleep disturbances. The researchers accounted for factors that could affect the results, such as men's alcohol consumption, smoking and age."

Achieving delta sleep appears to be the common thread through all of the studies I have read concerning the affect of poor sleep on a myriad of health conditions.  And, to make things worse, many turn to prescription or over the counter medication to help them sleep.  The problem is, medication does not allow us to achieve delta sleep, so it really isn't helping a sleep deprived nation; one might argue, it's making things worse.

We've found that those whom we've seen who are suffering with insomnia and stress are significantly helped by neuro-physiological rebalancing.  Understanding the neuroplasticity of the brain has been the key to effective treatment.
