Nagpur: Good sleep keeps the body healthy. An adult needs 7–8 hours of deep sleep every night. But if your sleep breaks again and again, it is not normal. It can slowly harm your health.
Doctors say broken sleep can raise the risk of heart problems and high blood pressure. When sleep is disturbed, the body does not get enough rest to heal itself. This puts extra load on the heart. Over time, this may lead to serious illness.
Poor sleep also affects the brain. Many people wake up because of stress or overthinking. The mind stays active even at night. Stress is already a big enemy of the heart, and lack of sleep makes it worse.
These people should be more careful:
People with sleep apnea
Those who are under constant stress
People who use mobile or TV late at night
Health experts say people with regular sleep trouble have a much higher chance of heart disease.
Easy ways to sleep better:
Keep the phone away before bed
Sleep and wake up at the same time daily
Avoid tea or coffee at night
Try to stay calm and relaxed
Do simple yoga or breathing exercises
If you wake up many times every night, meet a doctor. Good sleep is as important as food and water for a healthy life.
