A doctor has explained some worrying things that can happen to your body if you don’t get enough sleep.

Doctor Michael Mosley says sleep affects “every organ” in your body and lack of shut-eye can cause serious long-term health problems, from dementia, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Lack of sleep can also have a “devastating impact on your sex life,” Dr Mosley warned when he appeared on ITV’s Lorraine show on Friday (15 March).

"I was diagnosed with two rare cancers in just six weeks - it didn't feel real"
A single mum diagnosed with two rare cancers just six weeks apart had to have SIX ORGANS REMOVED - including her ovaries, uterus and cervix. Hayley Shaw, 44, previously led an active lifestyle but pelvic pain and heavy periods led to the discovery of two cancerous uterine polyps in June 2023. Hayley's world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer which typically affects women over 70. She was then told she would have an induced menopause and need a hysterectomy - preventing her from having any more children. Following her hysterectomy, Hayley - a former image consultant - returned home for a few weeks only to begin feeling unwell again.
