Millions of people struggle to sleep at night, despite a full day of work and fatigue. The battle against sleep deprivation is real and is increasing among young people.
With stress, work-life pressure, family issues, and late-night eating, the problem is gradually leading to health hazards. In such a scenario, an expert orthopaedic surgeon provides key tips to combat sleeplessness.
Expert Insights on Beating Sleep Deprivation
Expert orthopaedic surgeon and sports doctor, Dr. Manan Vora, addresses this issue. He provides three simple hacks to help you sleep better at night.
- Warm Feet, Faster Sleep — Wear socks to bed. Warm feet improve circulation and signal your body to relax.
- 6–3 Breathing Reset — Inhale for 6 seconds, exhale for 3 seconds. This slows heart rate and quiets a racing mind.
- Comfort + Wind-Down — Use a soft, supportive mattress; take a short pre-bed walk; dim lights; avoid screens; and eat dinner early to prime your body for sleep.
The Silent Toll of Sleepless Nights: Common Mistakes That Make Insomnia Worse
Chronic insomnia quietly drains your emotional balance and daily energy, triggering productivity dips, rising anxiety, and even risks to heart health. When your mind can’t switch off after a hectic day, life gets tougher—every task feels heavier, every mood more fragile.
What often worsens this cycle are everyday habits: excessive screen time before bed, late or heavy dinners, and irregular routines that confuse your body’s sleep signals. Many assume that exhausting the body will force sleep, but overstimulation usually backfires—leaving you physically spent yet mentally wired. The result is a stubborn loop of sleepless nights and drained days that only deepens without mindful change.
These small shifts in your daily habits can turn into a regular struggle to sleep at night. However, you will have to be consistent in following these tips and make them a daily habit.
