Better Sleep for a Healthier Life

Sleep is an essential part of life, playing a vital role in both physical and mental well-being. On World Sleep Day, Evercare Hospital Chattogram emphasizes the importance of quality sleep and raises awareness about sleep-related health concerns.

Modern lifestyle, work pressure, stress, and unhealthy habits have made sleep problems increasingly common. Conditions like insomnia, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorders are on the rise. Dr. Md. Fazle Kibria Chowdhury explains, “Sleep disorders not only cause fatigue, but also increase the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and depression.”

Simple steps can help improve sleep quality:

• Maintain a regular sleep schedule: Going to bed and waking up at the same time helps regulate your body’s sleep cycle.

• Create a sleep-friendly environment: A quiet, dark, and cool bedroom is ideal for restful sleep.

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime: These can disrupt your ability to fall asleep.

• Limit screen time at night: Blue light from phones, laptops, and TVs can reduce melatonin production, making it harder to sleep.

If sleep problems persist, it’s important to consult a doctor. Early diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as sleep apnea can greatly improve quality of life.

This World Sleep Day, let’s recognize the value of good sleep and commit to healthier sleep habits for a better, healthier life.
