What makes this study more interesting is that even people who have adequate hours of sleep avoid people who are sleep-deprived.   Yup! You heard it right. Sleep deprivation can potentially disrupt your immune system and now, affect your social life.  The study, published in 2018, found that insomniac people felt more secluded and less social around a crowd of people. Well-rested people feel lonely even after just a quick interaction with a sleep-deprived person, triggering a viral contagion of social isolation. A new study from researchers at the University of California found another possible consequence of not getting enough sleep.    This can be the devastating desire to sleep, for somebody who needs sleep, takes precedence over chit-chatting or even heading to the café after work with friends; they may not have the energy required for social interaction.   We know!

That’s because more blood supply is sent to the skin as you exercise and that’s good news, as it means that any products you apply onto it will be better absorbed.   Deodorants help contain the odour while keeping your underarms feeling fresh. Not a comforting feeling at all an...
