Do you scroll your social media accounts for hours before sleeping? Doomscrolling can give you nightmares, here is what we know!

Cannot stop scrolling? Research warns of social media related nightmares after too much online engagement

<h2>Do you scroll your social media accounts for hours before sleeping? Doomscrolling can give you nightmares, here is what we know!</h2>

Are you an avid social media user and cannot stop watching reels and Facebook videos for hours? It is time to stop as the latest research shows that excessive social media engagement can harm you and give you nightmares! Wondering what we are talking about? Read on!
<h3>Too much social media usage can cause nightmares</h3>
According to a research published in the journal BMC Psychology , the more time you spend on social media the more emotionally connected to your presence, the more likely you are to get 'social media-related nightmares'.
An international team of researchers created the Social Media Nightmare-Related Scale (SMNS), a 14-item questionnaire, to understand the effects of excessive social media usage.
While the majority of the social media users surveyed did not experience social media-related nightmares, there was a significant link between the intensity of social media use and the occurrence of these dreams.
Flinders University&rsquo;s Reza Shabahang from the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work said in a statement that while the nightmares are rare, they can occur. &ldquo;Whilst social media-related nightmares are relatively rare, those who use social media more during their daily lives are more likely to have social media-related nightmares that are associated with negative mental health outcomes, such as anxiety, depression and sleep quality,&rdquo; Shabahang said.
<h3>How to cope?</h3>
Try reducing your social media engagement time to a minimum. Sleep experts recommend ending screen time one hour before shutting your eyes. You should instead opt for something that helps you unwind such as reading or tidying up.

<h2>A recent X post by a Hyderabad doctor has sparked a discussion. According to the neurologist, losing one hour of sleep will take four days to recover. Read on to know more!</h2>

Sleeping is an essential part of the day and missing out on those precious sleep hours may harm you in the long run. Recently, a Hyderabad doctor's post on sleep and sleep deprivation has gone viral.&nbsp;
Recently, Dr Sudhir Kumar, a Neurologist who works at Apollo Hospitals Hyderabad, claimed that if someone loses even one hour of sleep, it will take them four days to recover. It has sparked a major discussion online.&nbsp;
<h3>Hyderabad doctor's post about sleep goes viral</h3>
Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist at Apollo Hyderabad took to X and made a shocking revelation. In his post he revealed that it may take days to recover from that. The post read, "If you lose just one hour of sleep, it could take 4 days to recover from that. Sleep deprivation can cause various symptoms, such as headache, poor focus and attention, increased irritability, poor judgement, poor decision making and increased sleepiness."
The doctor also revealed the age-wise sleep needed by individuals.
The post read, "Newborns (up to 3 months old): 14 to 17 hours. Infants (4 to 12 months old): 12 to 16 hours, including naptime. Young children (1 to 5 years old): 10 to 14 hours, including naptime. School-aged children (6 to 12 years old): 9 to 12 hours. Teenagers (13 to 18 years old): 8 to 10 hours. Adults (18 years and up): 7 to 9 hours."
The doctor also gave the option to complete the night's sleep quota in the afternoon, ''Absolutely. Sleeping for 7-9 hours at night in one go is the best option. However, if someone can't get the entire quota of sleep at night, he/she could compensate the deficit in sleep by sleeping during daytime (second best option).''
<h3>What happens when we don't sleep properly?</h3>
Lack of sleep impairs cognitive functions and it makes it harder to concentrate, solve problems, and retain information. Insufficient sleep can also cause irritation and mood swings. A good night's sleep is also necessary for a good immune system.

Sleep wrinkles and fine lines can easily develop on the face, avoid sleeping on one side and keep changing your positions to combat these effects. 

Sleep wrinkles: Say goodbye to fine lines and wrinkles with these easy tips 

<h2>Sleep wrinkles and fine lines can easily develop on the face, avoid sleeping on one side and keep changing your positions to combat these effects.&nbsp;</h2>

Sleep wrinkles and fine lines can easily develop on the face if you sleep in the wrong position for a prolonged duration. Sleeping on one side or on the stomach can accentuate wrinkles due to pillow pressure.
To alleviate this, it is advisable to change your sleeping positions more frequently or sleep on your back. You can also incorporate using silk or satin pillowcases and add moisturizer into your skincare routine to help combat these effects.
<h3>&nbsp;Effective Ways to Prevent Sleep Wrinkles</h3>
Sleep on your back: This reduces pressure on your face and helps prevent the formation of sleep wrinkles. Use silk or satin pillowcases: These materials cause less friction on your skin compared to cotton, reducing the likelihood of wrinkles.
Apply moisturizer before bed: Keeping your skin hydrated can help maintain its elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach or sides: Pressure from the pillow can lead to the formation of wrinkles over time.
Use a contoured pillow: These pillows provide support and can help prevent your face from pressing into the pillow.
Practice good sleep hygiene: Getting enough quality sleep can contribute to overall skin health and reduce the likelihood of wrinkles forming.

Do you feel more and more sleepy around your partner? Here are some reasons why it can be so!

Feel sleepy when with your partner? Here are the reasons for why it happens

<h2>Do you feel more and more sleepy around your partner? Here are some reasons why it can be so!</h2>

Many of us get sleepy when spending time with our partners or just chilling with them. What does it mean? Does it mean that you are bored of interaction and want to lie down? Well, maybe. However, it may also mean that you are closer to your partner and feel safer around him/her. Wondering what we are talking about? Read on!
<h3>Why you may be feeling more sleepy when around your partner</h3>
Your comfort level is more
Many people fall asleep faster with partners they have been dating for a long period of time. This may be attributed to the fact that spending more time with your partner makes you more comfortable. When you are with someone you love and trust, your mind and body relax, helping you to fall asleep faster.
You feel safer and more secure
Falling asleep faster or feeling sleepy can be an indication that you feel safe and secure around your partner. Knowing that your partner is around, makes you relax and fall asleep faster.
Can indicate a strong bond
Have you been deeply bonding with your partner and building a connection? Well, this may make you feel more at ease around them, making you feel sleepy.
Physical closeness makes you sleepy
Physical proximity with your partner, like cuddling or laying beside them, tends to evoke a sense of drowsiness. The warmth and soothing embrace can promote relaxation, ultimately inducing sleepiness.

A study has found that sleeping extra during the weekend might be good for your heart. So now you can catch up on an extra hour of sleep over the weekends without feeling guilty.

World Sleep Day 2024: Sleeping extra during the weekend might be good for your heart according to study

<h2>A study has found that sleeping extra during the weekend might be good for your heart. So now you can catch up on an extra hour of sleep over the weekends without feeling guilty.</h2>

Now you don't need to feel guilty for oversleeping during the weekend as a new study conducted by Nanjing Medical University in China has concluded that a person sleeping extra hours of sleep over the weekends has a healthier heart.
The study analysed data on 3400 US adults, compiled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, or NHANES for short, the researchers made some astonishing findings on weekend catch-up sleep.
<h3>Sleeping an hour longer on weekends better for heart health</h3>
The NHANES aimed to gather data on participants&rsquo; sleeping hours during both weekends and weekdays, as well as if they had any or all of the following risk factors: heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes mellitus. Analysis of the data from this survey showed that adults aged 20 or older who slept an hour longer on weekends than on weekdays had lower rates of stroke, coronary artery disease, and angina.
In addition, adults who slept less than six hours on weekdays, and got two or more extra hours of sleep on the weekend, had the most significant reduction in this risk. Perhaps paradoxically though, there didn&rsquo;t seem to be any association between weekend catch-up sleep in adults who slept for more than six hours on weekdays.
This is not the first study that connects sleeping hours to the risk of cardiovascular disease. Earlier studies by both Nanjing researchers and researchers at other institutions have shown that there is a significant correlation between heart disease risk, diabetes mellitus, obesity, high blood pressure, and even depression to sleeping habits.

Published in the Journal of Sleep Research, a study discovered that people who snooze their alarm regularly get extra sleep and gain better cognitive alertness after waking up.

Do you ‘hurkle-durkle’ in sleep? If not, know why this habit is beneficial for health 

Published in the Journal of Sleep Research, a study discovered that people who snooze their alarm regularly get extra sleep and gain better cognitive alertness after waking up.

How many of you love lurking under your blanket and lying there for hours even after the alarm has rung and you know it&rsquo;s time to get on with the day?&nbsp;
Yes, we all have been there and are guilty as charged. This typical habit is called &lsquo;hurkle-durkle&rsquo; and many of us do it almost every day in bed especially during the colder months. Don&rsquo;t we?&nbsp;
<h3>How is hurky durky beneficial for health?&nbsp;</h3>
Earlier research has indicated that adopting relaxed mornings could significantly benefit overall well-being. According to a study published in the journal Sleep Health in December 2023, indulging in extra sleep on weekends might have long-term life-saving implications. The study's findings revealed that obtaining an additional two hours of sleep during the weekend could potentially decrease the risk of experiencing a heart attack or stroke by 63%, particularly among individuals who sleep less than six hours per night on weekdays.&nbsp;
<h3>How is hurky durky different from bed rotting?&nbsp;</h3>
Bed rotting is a similar trend which gained attention in the recent past. This trend is about lying and relaxing in bed for long hours and that precisely is bed rotting. However, bed rotting can be done any time of the day and hurkle-durkle is restricted only to the morning hours during the time you wake up.&nbsp;
<h3>&lsquo;Hurky durky&rsquo; is a Caledonian colloquialism&nbsp;</h3>
Caledonian colloquialisms refer to words, phrases, or expressions that are characteristic of or commonly used in Scotland. "Caledonian" is an adjective related to Scotland, derived from "Caledonia," an ancient Roman name for Scotland. Colloquialisms are informal words or phrases used in everyday conversation rather than formal language. So, Caledonian colloquialisms are informal expressions unique to Scottish English or Scottish dialects. These may include slang terms, regional dialect words, or idiomatic expressions specific to Scotland. Examples might include "wee" (small), "braw" (good or fine), "wean" (child), or "dreich" (dull or gloomy weather).&nbsp;
<h3>Hurky durky video on TikTok got viral&nbsp;</h3>
A viral video on TikTok explaining this sleeping habit from Scotland has received about 4 million views and is gaining immense popularity on other social media platforms too. &nbsp;

These Yoga poses not only aid in physical relaxation but also provide a sense of mental tranquility, aiding in a more restful and rejuvenating sleep.

These 3 Yoga asanas can help you sleep like a baby, one of them is literally called 'happy baby pose'

These Yoga poses not only aid in physical relaxation but also provide a sense of mental tranquility, aiding in a more restful and rejuvenating sleep.

Sleep is essential for our physical and mental well-being, yet many people struggle with sleep problems that can lead to various side effects such as fatigue, irritability, and reduced productivity. To combat sleep issues and improve sleep quality, incorporating yoga asanas (poses) into your routine can be highly beneficial. Yoga promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and helps calm the mind, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. &nbsp;
<h3>3 effective yoga asanas for better sleep</h3>
Child's Pose (Balasana) - This is a soothing and restorative yoga asana that offers a range of physical and mental benefits. To practice this pose, begin by kneeling on the floor with your big toes touching and knees apart. Sit back on your heels and exhale as you fold your upper body forward, extending your arms in front of you and resting your forehead on the mat. Your chest should rest on or between your thighs, and your arms can be stretched forward or relaxed by your sides. Balasana is a great pose for relaxation, stress relief, and gentle stretching of the back, hips, and thighs.
Happy Baby Pose (Ananda Balasana) - In Ananda Balasana, you'll find yourself resembling a happy baby, hence the name. It is a playful and relaxing asana that helps open up the hips and relieve tension in the lower back. To practice this pose, lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the mat. Exhale and draw your knees toward your chest. Then, grab the outsides of your feet with your hands, flexing your feet so they are parallel to the ceiling. Your arms should be on the inside of your knees, and your knees should be bent to approximately 90 degrees.
Gently rock from side to side to massage your spine and lower back. This pose is excellent for stretching the groin, hips, and inner thighs while promoting a sense of relaxation and calm.
Corpse Pose (Shavasana) - Corpse Pose, known as Shavasana in yoga, is a deeply relaxing and meditative asana that serves as a final resting pose at the end of a yoga session. To practice Shavasana, lie flat on your back with your legs extended and feet comfortably apart. Let your arms rest by your sides, palms facing up, and fingers naturally curling. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to settle into a state of relaxation.
Shavasana is designed to help you release physical and mental tension, allowing for complete relaxation of the body and mind. It promotes a sense of calm, reduces stress, and enhances self-awareness. It's often considered the most important part of a yoga practice, as it allows you to integrate the physical and mental benefits gained from your session.
<h3>Approach the practices with care and attention</h3>
These Yoga asanas are helpful in making you relax and sleep well at night. However, it's essential to listen to your body, practice under the guidance of a qualified instructor, and be mindful of your limits. With proper guidance and awareness, yoga can be a safe and rewarding journey towards improved flexibility, strength, and overall well-being, coupled with a healthy sleep routine and other good sleep hygiene practices.

There are many scientific studies about co-sleeping with your baby but it is a cultural thing and parents must consult their doctor before taking any decision.

Most Indian parents sleep with their baby. Know what science says about the practice 

There are many scientific studies about co-sleeping with your baby but it is a cultural thing and parents must consult their doctor before taking any decision.

Indian parents especially mothers often practice co-sleeping with their babies, a cultural norm. While some studies suggest potential benefits like enhanced bonding, some research says it is not necessary. &nbsp;
There are two ways parents might sleep with their baby: sharing the same bed (on a shared surface) or being in the same room but not the same bed. A recent Canadian study has found that about a third of moms share the same surface with their baby, while 40 percent never do. Another study in Quebec in the late 1990s showed that one-third of moms sleep in the same room.&nbsp; The Canadian Paediatric Society says, "For the first 6 months, the safest place for your baby to sleep is on their back, in a crib, cradle, or bassinet that is in your room (room sharing)." &nbsp; &nbsp; There are two main ideas about co-sleeping. One focuses on the medical risks, like choking or sudden infant death syndrome. The other supports co-sleeping for breastfeeding and cultural values. Both ideas exist, making the choice of how to sleep with a baby in the early months challenging for parents.&nbsp;
According to scientific studies co-sleeping promotes breastfeeding during the night. But it&rsquo;s hard to say whether it&rsquo;s breastfeeding that favours this practice or whether it&rsquo;s the other way around. In any case, breastfeeding is the main reason why mothers choose shared-surface co-sleeping.
Nevertheless, there was no difference found between nighttime breastfeeding and the two forms of co-sleeping. In simple words, sleeping in the same room is equally supportive of breastfeeding as sharing the same surface during sleep. After all it&rsquo;s a family choice that you should make with your partner or decide according to your baby's needs.

Aging leads to facial lines, wrinkles; side-sleeping worsens asymmetry due to pressure, says Dr. Zamani.

Side-Sleeping: The hidden culprit of premature wrinkles and fine lines 

Aging leads to facial lines, wrinkles; side-sleeping worsens asymmetry due to pressure, says Dr. Zamani.

As we age, our face tends to exhibit more noticeable fine lines and wrinkles due to a decrease in skin elasticity.
However, experts caution that side-sleeping can expedite the development of these fine lines, wrinkles, and facial asymmetry associated with the aging process, primarily because of the increased pressure on the face.
Dr. Maryam Zamani, a UK oculoplastic surgeon, explains, 'This is the reason why people may notice that one of their eyes has a slightly different shape or that one side of their lips is lower than the other.'"
As far as the skin-friendliest way to face, sleeping on your back with your head facing out and center will definitely reduce the risk of developing sleep-related skin problems to the greatest degree,&rdquo; NYC board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rachel Maiman told Allure.
&ldquo;With age, our neck and body joints need increasingly more support, but too many pillows can exacerbate these problems,&rdquo; she added.

Moon Breathing: This ancient yogic practice is an ultimate answer to your sleep problems

Moon Breathing, also known as Alternate Nostril Breathing or Nadi Shodhana, is a yogic breathing technique that is believed to offer several benefits for physical and mental well-being.

In recent years, the prevalence of sleep-related disorders has surged due to various factors, leaving a significant number of individuals grappling with insomnia.
In the midst of this escalating issue, an ancient yogic technique known as Moon Breathing, alternatively referred to as Alternate Nostril Breathing or Nadi Shodhana, has garnered attention. This practice is hailed for its remarkable ability to induce instant sleep. To give it a try, follow these steps:
<ul>
<li>Begin by closing your right nostril using your right thumb</li>
<li>Slowly inhale through your left nostril</li>
<li>Gradually exhale through your right nostril, while keeping your left nostril closed</li>
<li>Repeat this sequence several times</li>
</ul>
This method not only clears your nasal passages but also imparts a profound sense of tranquility to your mind, facilitating a swift transition into a restful slumber.
<h3>How Moon Breathing helps:</h3>
Here are some of the potential benefits associated with this practice.
Better Sleep: As mentioned previously, Moon Breathing is known for its ability to induce a state of relaxation and calm, making it a useful tool for those struggling with insomnia or sleep disturbances.
Stress Reduction: Moon Breathing is known for its calming and stress-reducing effects. It helps balance the two hemispheres of the brain, promoting a sense of relaxation and reducing the production of stress hormones.
Improved Focus and Concentration: Practicing Nadi Shodhana can enhance mental clarity, concentration, and cognitive function by harmonizing brain activity.
Enhanced Respiratory Health: This breathing technique encourages proper lung function and can improve overall respiratory health. It may help individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma.
Emotional Balance: Regular practice of Alternate Nostril Breathing is thought to balance emotional states, reducing mood swings and promoting a sense of emotional stability.

New study reveals quality sleep slows down aging process

A recent study suggests that consistently obtaining a good night's sleep might influence the aging process.

A recent study reveals that maintaining a regular and consistent sleep pattern can potentially decelerate the biological aging process. Published in Sleep Health, the research demonstrates that individuals with erratic sleep schedules tend to exhibit a higher biological age compared to those with steady sleep routines.
The study, conducted by researchers from Augusta University, examined the sleep habits of over 6,000 participants. These participants, averaging around 50 years of age, wore sleep trackers for a span of four to seven days, recording their sleep duration. They also provided insights into their lifestyle habits through a questionnaire.
To assess participants' biological ages, scientists examined their blood samples, revealing various indicators of health such as cholesterol levels, diabetes, and kidney function. The findings pinpointed that individuals with the most inconsistent sleep schedules displayed a biological age roughly nine months older than those adhering to a regular routine.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, irregular sleep patterns can also have repercussions on heart health, affecting stress hormone levels and potentially leading to elevated blood pressure. Additionally, it can impact cognitive function and mental well-being.

The Scandinavian sleep method, using separate blankets for couples sharing a bed, gained popularity for improving sleep and relationships

Sleep divorce, in which the couple sleeps in two different beds and different rooms, was in the news lately and now the Scandinavian sleep method is hitting the headlines. This method of sleeping is garnering popularity among couples and they are trying this out to fix their sleeping schedule and relationship.&nbsp;
This practice is popular in Sweden, Norway and Denmark and in this, the couple who lives together and sleeps on the same bed uses two separate blankets or duvets as opposed to one big duvet.&nbsp;
Erica Stolman Dowdy, &nbsp;a popular Instagram influencer claimed that the Scandinavian sleep method can help improve relationships.&nbsp;
In a video, Erica said that she uses two separate smaller blankets to cover each side of the bed, one for each person. This, she believes, can make sleeping together in a bed more comfortable and save marriages by preventing arguments over blankets.
According to the research by Sleep Foundation, sharing a blanket could lead to more sleep disturbances and the inconvenience of one partner taking all the blankets to themself. So, if you are not in for sleep divorce then the Scandinavian sleep method might help you out.&nbsp;

Experts now recommend clearing your nose before bedtime to improve sleep quality and reduce snoring. 

Add this to your bedtime routine for better sleep and reduce snoring

Experts now recommend clearing your nose before bedtime to improve sleep quality and reduce snoring.&nbsp;

Till now brushing your teeth at night was considered to be an important task before going to bed but now, experts suggest clearing your nose before going to bed is another equally important thing.&nbsp;
Sharing a video on social media, Dr Sebastian Lomas advises to ensure your sinuses are clear, which can help with getting a good night's sleep and reduce your snoring problem.&nbsp;
Lomas shows the right way to clear sinuses: He stands up straight, breathes in through his nose, and then breathes out while keeping his mouth shut.
Next, he holds his nose and tilts his head side to side, almost touching his shoulders with his ears. While doing this, he tries to pop his ears for at least five seconds.
Snoring might indicate a health issue, like obstructive sleep apnea, which is a common condition connected to heart problems and can be deadly if not treated.
Roughly half of people snore at some point in their lives, according to University of Utah Health. The habit is more common among men, even though many women snore too.
The main reasons people snore are usually because of gaining weight, having allergies, drinking alcohol, sleeping in an unusual position, or taking specific medicines.

Sleep streaming is helping people earn money, know all about this lazy trend

Discover the emerging trend of sleep streaming, where individuals live-stream themselves sleeping, attracting audiences and income through unscripted and authentic moments.

Who doesn&rsquo;t like to sleep all day but what if we tell you that people are earning money by sleeping all day? Well, a curious trend has emerged online and it is called sleep streaming. This concept involves individuals live-streaming themselves as they sleep, allowing viewers to observe their night-time routines and even the occasional snore.&nbsp;
Despite its seemingly counterintuitive nature, sleep streaming has gained traction as a unique form of entertainment, drawing in audiences and generating income for those willing to share their slumber with the world.&nbsp;
What started as an obscure trend has gradually gained popularity, with individuals around the world participating in this unique form of content creation. The concept may seem perplexing at first, but its appeal lies in the sense of connection and authenticity it offers. Unlike scripted and curated content, sleep streams capture unfiltered moments, making viewers feel like they are sharing an unguarded experience with the streamer.
<h3>How are people earning money through this lazy trend?</h3>
Similar to other content creators, sleep streamers can earn money through various avenues such as viewer donations, subscriptions, sponsorships, and advertisements.

Practice sleep hygiene and meditation to avoid sleep medications

Prioritise sleep hygiene and lifestyle adjustments before considering sleep medications for addressing sleep disorders.

Sleep medications have gained significant popularity among individuals dealing with sleep disorders, which encompass issues related to sleep quality, timing, and duration. These problems often lead to daytime discomfort and hinder normal body functioning.
Changing sleep patterns and lifestyle habits can majorly affect our sleep and can cause sleep apnea or insomnia.
However, experts suggest sleeping pills should be the last option after nothing works that too with a proper prescription. Meditation is the best option to keep your mind calm and relax. You can also try 'sleep hygiene' in which you have to sleep at a particular time and wake up at the same time.
And, avoid consuming tea or coffee before sleeping. Have light meals so that it doesn't disturb your sleep.
<h3>Side effects of sleeping-pill&nbsp;</h3>
About 80% of individuals encounter a hangover-like aftermath following the use of sleep medication, characterized by drowsiness, impaired cognitive function, and sensations of dizziness or unsteadiness. These daytime repercussions can significantly impede one's capacity to engage in activities such as driving, working, attending school, and accomplishing routine tasks.&nbsp;

The study published in the European Journal of Nutrition stated that keeping bed times and wake times consistent and eating a balanced diet may help reduce our risk of disease.
The study of nearly 1,000 adults by Kings College London scientists found that even a 90-minute difference in the midpoint of your night's sleep over the course of a normal week could influence the type of bacteria found in the human gut.
Going to sleep and waking up at very different times during the week compared to the weekend, is known as having a social jetlag.
Participants in the study had their sleep and blood analysed stool samples collected and recorded everything they ate in a food questionnaire.
Those who had social jetlag 16 per cent were more likely to eat unhealthy diets including chips and sugary snacks. Previous research has also indicated social jetlag contributes to weight gain, mental fatigue and higher levels of inflammation and stroke risk.

Getting out of bed in the morning can be a daunting task for many individuals, but for some, it becomes an overwhelming challenge that significantly affects their daily lives. Dysania, a relatively lesser-known condition, can turn the simple act of leaving the bed into an uphill battle.
<h3>What is Dysania?</h3>
Dysania, also known as clinomania, is a condition characterized by extreme difficulty in getting out of bed in the morning or after a period of rest. People experiencing dysania often feel a strong urge to stay in bed, regardless of responsibilities or commitments awaiting them. While it's normal to feel groggy upon waking up, dysania involves a persistent and overwhelming desire to remain in bed, which can be disruptive to daily routines.
<h3>Cause of Dysania:</h3>
Sleep Disorders: Individuals suffering from sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, or restless leg syndrome may find it particularly challenging to wake up feeling refreshed and motivated.
Mental Health Conditions: Anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues can lead to a lack of motivation and energy, making it difficult to leave the comfort of the bed.
Stress and Lifestyle: High levels of stress, an unhealthy lifestyle, and irregular sleep patterns can disrupt the body's natural sleep-wake cycle, contributing to dysania.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: People with chronic fatigue syndrome may experience profound tiredness, making it hard to get out of bed.

Sugar&nbsp;
Foods like refined carbs which include white bread, sweets, and food items containing high amounts of added sugars highly affect our sleep. A 2019 study that was done on 77,000 women had found that those who consume food high in glycemic index were more likely to have insomnia in the following years. The study also held sugar and refined carbs responsible for higher odds of insomnia.

A study done on 459 people found the more fat and saturated fat they consumed, the lower their sleeping time became.&nbsp;
Alcohol&nbsp;
