Khaberni - Dr. Marchil Kirilan, an associate professor at the Financial University affiliated with the Russian government, indicates that lack of sleep and stress cause more damage to the brain than alcohol.
According to him, they also lead to a decrease in IQ in adults.
He says: "The two most influential factors are chronic stress and lack of sleep because long-term stress weakens attention, reduces cognitive flexibility, and the ability to make decisions. Chronic sleep deprivation affects memory and the speed of processing information to a degree equivalent to mild cognitive impairment."
As for alcohol, when consumed regularly, it has a toxic effect on the nervous system, especially on executive functions.
He says: "As for the constant 'attachment' to the phone, it's not about the device itself, but about distraction, as the habit of constantly switching between devices reduces the ability to think deeply and focus."
The Spanish neurologist Celia Garcia Malo had previously warned that the consequences of sleeping less than 6 hours are comparable to alcohol poisoning.
According to her, people who do not get enough sleep suffer from poor concentration, slow reflexes, and a deterioration of cognitive functions the next day. Driving a car may be as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.
