Behind this pleasant and seemingly harmless habit lies the root of a serious problem.

Pharmacist Deborah Lee does not recommend sleeping in on weekends because it prevents you from getting proper rest and contributes to the accumulation of fatigue.

A busy workweek motivates many people to sleep longer on weekends. It is believed that this way you can restore your strength and simply have a good rest.

In reality, it's not that simple. This tactic does not lead to accumulation of energy before the new work week, but literally "eats up" the already small reserve of strength.

As a result, people feel exhausted and tired, the Daily Mirror quotes the doctor as saying.

Lee explained that it all comes down to a disruption of the natural sleep-wake cycle.

A person gets up early for a few days and then suddenly gets up late: “This throws off your body’s internal clock.”

As a result, difficulties with falling asleep appear, damage to general health occurs, and incomprehensible anxiety and restlessness appear.

The doctor noted that you can maintain your energy throughout the week if you stick to the same schedule.

But it should be remembered that healthy sleep for most people should last at least 7 hours.

Previously, doctors found that a passion for fried potatoes leads to depression .
