What No One Tells You About Sleep Until Your Health Starts Failing
Are You Getting Enough Sleep?
Have you taken enough sleep in a while?
No, but I’m still active with 3 to 4 hours of sleep. Coffee helps me a lot. I mean seriously, you are keeping yourself active artificially.
These days, the majority of people are unaware of how necessary adequate sleep is. It’s not a luxury but an essential for your health. When we take inadequate sleep, we unknowingly mess up a lot of our daily work because of that improper or deficient sleep as it is one of the main pillars of health, along with nutrition and physical exercise. If you mess up with any one of these, you are messing with your health ultimately.
A Personal Lesson in Sleep Deprivation
At one time in my life, when I had one of the hardest exams of my academic career, I ruined my sleep by sleeping only 3 to 4 hours per night on most days, thinking I would fix it right after the exam. My brain managed this schedule for one and a half months, but it cost me a lot. I couldn’t sleep properly even after the exam was over, and everyone around me started telling me that it seemed like my health was deteriorating and it was true. With thorough research, I not only fixed my sleep but also came to know a lot of facts about it and decided to share them with others too.
The Science Behind Sleep
If we just touch the neuroscience behind how the body regulates our sleep and what process leads us to be awake and asleep, that’s quite interesting as well. Our sleep is mainly controlled by the circadian rhythm that we all heard of growing up. For simplicity, take it as your body’s internal clock, which repeats after every 24 hours and tells you when to wake and sleep. This is mainly regulated by sunlight (especially blue light), hormones like melatonin, physical activity, and meals.
How Sleep Regulation Works
Let me talk about how exactly it happens. When it darkens outside, signals are sent from our receptors in the eyes to a part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which sends signals to the pineal gland to secrete melatonin. Yes, melatonin the infamous melatonin, which makes us sleepy, reduces alertness, relaxes muscles, and lowers core body temperature. Some other factors also help regulate this process. But what about people who work at night time due to night shifts and sleep in the morning? That sleep is mainly regulated by our homeostatic process, in which our brain asks for its required sleep. The longer we stay awake or overburden our brain, there is accumulation of a chemical called adenosine, which makes us drowsy, demanding sleep from our brain.
Why Sleep Is Crucial
This is well known to most of us that we should take 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day. One of the very important things that happens during sleep is that our brain saves the learning and important information from the day. If you are not taking enough sleep, you are doing hard work but not saving. Imagine writing a blog and not saving it, you end up losing it. Similarly you don’t properly learn or retain your daily tasks. We are definitely playing in loss in such situations.
Health Impacts of Poor Sleep
There are researches that say lack of sleep or even excessive sleep is independently responsible for depression among individuals. Disturbing your sleep is like disturbing your brain’s activity. Anything the brain controls will ultimately be disturbed. Very few changes are sudden as most occur over time, like hypertension, poor reproductive health, weak immunity, Alzheimer’s, and the list continues. The more we get to know about the problems caused by it, the more it scares us.
Improving Sleep Hygiene
Sleep hygiene is something one should practice to keep away from sleep disorders. Problems like insomnia, sleep apnea, and depression are so common these days, you can easily count at least one person from your acquaintances who has been through this. Some ways we can improve our sleep hygiene include sleeping early around 10 p.m as it helps us align with our natural circadian rhythm. This way, we are able to experience both NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. If we sleep late, we end up missing our REM type of sleep, in which most dreaming occurs. This is the time when our brain gets most of its emotional and memory-related repair. Hence, sleep is not just about completing hours but also about sleeping at the right time.
Habits for Better Sleep
Making a habit of sleeping at the same time every night helps regulate our body clock. Nowadays, there’s a common culture of drinking coffee in the later part of the day. According to experts, consuming substances like caffeine, alcohol, and heavy meals later in the day is associated with poor quality of sleep, as it disturbs our natural sleep cycle.
Bedtime scrolling is becoming so common these days. As I mentioned above, blue light plays a major role in the regulation of sleep. Cellphones emit blue light, ultimately creating a hindrance in our sleep schedule as wrong signals are sent to the brain through the receptors in our eyes.
Final Thoughts
My own suffering due to improper sleep led me to the discovery of all these details about one of the essential pillars of health. This seemed valuable enough to pass on and create awareness among others. It’s very easy to cut down your sleep, but in the long term, it affects every part of us. It’s a smart and sweet care that we can provide our body to keep it healthy in the long run.
Comment replies will be delayed, My keys r still not in phone (after that incident) and my laptop access is limited.
Thanks for understanding. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon.
Your are right my friend. Sleep is most important thing for health, if your sleep is not done properly, you health become affect and can not focus on your work. So I think, early to bed and early to rise is better for appropriate sleep.
It's very true. I've read about this and what you say is true. Sleep is essential. My sleep is sacred. Sleep is a priority for me, my friend.

Finally a good stem post and I can't curate xD
Sleep is one of the keys of success in your health combined with exercises and food intake. Well too much coffee is dangerous! I got problems in my stomach because of that hehe!
It's true. I'm not sleeping well these days because I have a heavy load of studies and as a result my head hurts and my eyes are full of sleep and now I tried to sleep but I can't sleep because of the anxiety. I need this kind of thing, my eyes are on the screen the whole time and reading books. Now I'm going to try to sleep.
Sleep isn't just necessary; it's essential. Our health depends greatly on it. Excellent information, just to remind us how important it is to get good sleep. It's a habit we should always cultivate, regardless of age. Best regards.
I know the importance of sleep and I used to maintain my sleeping time but when I have exam to face, my sleeping time reduce a lot. I know It's not good for me but I can't help myself in such a situation. As an example I slept only 4 hours last night.
Your post is a reminder for me and I will try to keep it in mind. I will try my best to maintain my sleeping time and stay healthy .
A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem
To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.
1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation
If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.
But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.
2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions
Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?
Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?
3. Change Before It’s Too Late
The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.
Ask yourself:
Hive deserves better. So do you.
4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right
Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.
If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.
5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing
It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.
The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.
From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.
What will your next move be?
Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change
Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music
Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.
Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.
Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.
We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?
Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.
The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.
Enough talk. Let’s see action.
