Getting the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a night is \u201csuper healthy\u201d, said Dr Eric Berg.<\/p>\n

But the expert, who has more than 11.2 million subscribers on YouTube, said there can be big implications to not getting enough rest, including risk of cardiovascular problems.<\/p>\n

Posting to his channel, Dr Berg explained why we need rest in the first place: \u201cThat\u2019s when our bodies recover, that\u2019s when we burn the most fat, that\u2019s when our bodies do the most detoxification, that\u2019s when our brains detox, and this is why when you don\u2019t get enough sleep, you\u2019e going to feel toxic, especially in your head.\u201d<\/p>\n

While not getting enough sleep can cause fatigue and significant mood changes, it could also put you at risk of cardiovascular problems like stroke and diabetes.<\/p>\n

Dr Berg explained when you don\u2019t get enough sleep, sympathetic hyperactivity occurs.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt\u2019s part of the nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system, and that system is in overdrive when you\u2019re not sleeping, so you\u2019re going to have more adrenaline, you\u2019re going to have more cortisol because your adrenals are revved up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that having an overactive, sympathetic nervous system can keep you up, but also not getting enough sleep can cause the adrenals and the stress and the sympathetics to kick in.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sympathetic nervous system is the accelerator of the nervous system and you\u2019re not going to be able to sleep if it\u2019s accelerated.\u201d<\/p>\n
