Sleep Problems: When Poor Sleep Affects Mental Health
Good sleep supports mood, memory, attention and emotional control. नींद खराब होना कई बार तनाव, चिंता, डिप्रेशन, नशे या दिनचर्या की समस्या से जुड़ सकता है.
Why Sleep Matters
Sleep is not wasted time. It helps the body rest and the mind recover. Poor sleep can worsen stress, anger, concentration, memory, mood, decision-making, and family conflict. Sleep problems can also be a sign of depression, anxiety, substance use, pain, or other health conditions.
Hindi reminder: लगातार नींद न आना, बहुत ज्यादा सोना, या रात में बार-बार उठना नजरअंदाज न करें.
