Sleep deprivation can affect you in many ways such as:
☒ Decreased sex drive: The lack of sleep may cause less sex between couples in their relationship. According to Psychology Today,'When the body becomes stressed because of sleep difficulties, the brain suppresses the production of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone in favor of stress hormones like cortisol. This shift in hormone levels can lead to decreased sex drive, infertility, or erectile dysfunction."
☒Mood change: It may cause frustration and irritability, which can lead to arguments between the couple.
☒Memory issues: They may forget a special date; such as their Anniversary, birthdays, or etc.
☒Health issues: Can cause medical problems.

I know there are so many things to deal with that are keeping you from getting your proper rest. Things; such as the stress of making sure the family, bills, and much more are taken care of. Make sure you have the right sleep accessories to help you get a great night of sleep.
What things can keep you from getting sleep?
1. Sleep Apnea:
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing frequently stops and starts. The breathing is interrupted in the middle of trying to get a good night's rest.
Here are some types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive sleep apnea: (OSA) is caused by a blockage of the airway during sleep.
- Central sleep apnea : (CSA) is caused by the brain failing to send the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing during sleep.
- Mixed sleep apnea: is a mixture of both OSA and CSA.
2. Family Issues:
Family issues such as being in college or having to help your children with their homework can cause stress that keeps you up at night.
You may have to clean the house and cook dinner also, but you can try some of these meal prep ideas to help you with cooking, so you can have more time to rest.
3. Work:
We all have to make some money and occasionally may do some overtime to pay those bills. That defiantly can cut into the amount of sleep you get. Long working hours are common, but it can increase the risk of hypertension and sleep disturbance.How many people have Trouble Sleeping?
How much sleep are you getting? Is it an adequate amount? According to Consumer Reports,Today, the problem of too little sleep, and the quest for more of it, is as acute as ever: 27 percent of people in a new Consumer Reports survey of 4,023 U.S. adults said they had trouble falling asleep or staying asleep most nights, and 68 percent—or an estimated 164 million Americans—struggled with sleep at least once a week.
People Have Trouble Sleeping

When will you ever find time to sleep? Well, you need to make it a priority on your list because it's important for your relationship and a healthy lifestyle.
Why your relationship depends on a good night's sleep?
1. Sleep deprivation can make you feel less attractive.
You may tend to have puffy eyes, or just feel less confident in yourself. If you are still sleepy, you may tend to just throw on any old outfit. That may be because you decided to steal an extra few minutes of sleep and now you are running late.

You should try to look as appealing to your spouse as possible, but it gets hard when you're sleepy. You are thinking about getting comfortable, not looking good.
2. Sleep deprivation can make you gain weight.
When people don't get enough sleep, they have increased levels of ghrelin, which is a hunger hormone. They also can have decreased levels of the leptin hormone, which regulates fullness. This process could lead to overeating and weight gain, which can affect your confidence in your appearance.3. Lack of sleep can hurt your sense of humor and cause you to be irritable.
If you are frustrated and irritable, what you use to feel was funny may tend to get on your nerves, causing you to snap at your partner. You may use negative words that can live on in the mind of your loved ones without realizing the damage you may have caused them.
It is important to your relationship to speak encouraging words to your partner after they have spent a long day of work, school, and taking care of the children with a limited amount of sleep.
A lack of sleep can have a person giving the other person the silent treatment in relationships without realizing it.
Here are some ways to respond to the silent treatment in a relationship.
🗹 Just give them time to cool off and realize it's not because of you.
🗹 Set rules to communicate about what's bothering you at a time where neither person is tired.
🗹 Apologize when appropriate.
