Good sleep for good health

Thursday, 23 November 2023



Modern-day living hardly gives one the opportunity to take adequate sleep. But sleep is as important for good health as diet and exercise. Good sleep improves one's brain performance, mood and health. Therefore, people should make an effort to get enough sleep regularly. There is no substitute for regular sleep. It relieves fatigue and makes the mind and the body healthy and lively. So, you need to take 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. But currently, many people in Bangladesh have been suffering from sleeplessness. And there are some people who deliberately keep themselves away from their sleep to work. As a result, we are creating various physical, mental and emotional issues for us. It can create a variety of problems, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder.
As adults, we are expected to get a complete rest before a new day starts, but common causes like stress, anxiety, depression, too much caffeine consumption and even uncomfortable beds can persistently keep us awake. These days we have taken insomnia for granted as an unavoidable way of modern life. But there are effective ways to fight it and win. Everyone needs to be aware of it and do the needful.
