At the height of his career, the singer Anitta has gained fame, fans and success. But having eight hours of sleep, like any mortal, seems a distant dream for funkeira. Yesterday, as usual, the 20-year-old said on the social networks that he had slept only four hours the night before. A habit disapproved by doctors and can have serious consequences for health.

- The sleeping snake account instantly. Debt hours overnight is not cumulative and, with excessive daytime sleepiness, a person has to a greater risk of getting involved in accidents - pulmonologist says Flavio Magalhaes, medical director of the Sleep Laboratory Studies of Sleep Disorders.

Chronically, sleep deprivation favors the occurrence of inflammation in the body, even leading to atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque in blood vessels). Furthermore, the risk of apnea - neck obstruction during sleep, which decreases blood oxygenation - rises.

- In this case, not only the quantity but the quality of sleep is altered - explains Flavio Magalhaes.

For pulmonologist Fabiola Schorr, Center for Sleep Medicine Heart Hospital of São Paulo (HCor), Anitta should try to take a nap in the afternoon to minimize the effects of time not slept the night:

- Even fragmented sleep is better than a deficit like that. An afternoon nap is good for anyone, provided they do not exceed 30 minutes, not to disrupt nighttime sleep.

However, according to the doctor, it is impossible for the body to catch up sleep.
Little sleep during the week and make the weekend is useless.
