A survey on the problem of insomnia
Seven hours of sleep is necessary for everyone. If you do not sleep for seven hours it will have a harmful effect on your health. This can affect you both physically and mentally. According to health experts, the problem of insomnia is increasing rapidly among the people of India and the world community. On the occasion of World Sleep Day, a survey on the problem of insomnia on a platform called Locus Circles revealed that the problem of insomnia is increasing rapidly among people. The survey also revealed that 61 percent people sleep less than 6 hours. The survey has revealed that the problem of sleeplessness among Indians has increased on a large scale in the last two years. According to statistics, it was 50 percent in 2022, which has now increased to 55 percent.
The problem of insomnia is increasing rapidly among the people in India. The reason behind this is their lifestyle and their pressure. It is important to reevaluate sleep deprivation globally. It is also important to recognize its role in preventing non-communicable diseases and maintaining mental and physical health.
Insomnia can increase heart related problems in people. You may also have to face the problem of blood pressure. Normally blood pressure drops by 10 to 20 percent at night, but this is not the case with insomnia. This increases blood pressure at night. Which is directly related to heart related events.
7 hours of sleep is necessary
He said sleep-deprived individuals are more likely to develop diabetes, high cholesterol and poor eating habits. Therefore, to keep our heart healthy, adequate and good sleep of 7 hours is necessary. Poor sleep and excessive use of digital devices can have both physical and psychological effects. We cannot ignore sleep. Which takes up one third of an average person’s lifetime.
Additionally, lack of sleep is also linked to early-onset dementia. Which affects both short-term and long-term memory, concentration, creativity and problem-solving abilities. It can also aggravate mental health problems like irregular mood swings and anxiety and potentially lead to depression, he told IANS.
