A healthy body needs 7-8 hours of restful sleep. But many people do not get sleep right away today. The main reasons that disrupt our sleep are:
Phone use and blue light: Using mobile phones and laptops just before going to bed prevents the production of the sleep-inducing hormone ‘Melatonin’. The blue light from digital screens forces the brain to stay awake.
Excessive mental stress: Not being able to calm down due to tension at work or family problems can affect sleep. Overthinking reduces the depth of sleep and causes frequent awakenings.
Caffeine use: Drinking tea and coffee after evening can disrupt sleep. Since caffeine acts as a stimulant, the body cannot rest.
Wrong diet and timing: Eating too much food just before going to bed can cause digestive problems and discomfort. Similarly, going to bed hungry can also disrupt sleep.
Irregular bedtimes: Going to bed at different times each day can disrupt the body’s natural clock (Circadian Rhythm). Taking long naps during the day can also disrupt sleep at night.
