World Sleep Day 2018


Sleep, the gift of every living being, it is the healer of pain and health restorer. A tool which will act as a refresh button to our brain. Sleep is a natural gift, and who has it to the fullest is considered as the happiest person in this world.

Sleep is the tasks which human body will perform as an actof taking rest and giving a break to the neurons and brain. It will relax the muscles and fix some minor issues internally without any medication. When we are in sleep, we will lose control of our physical body and the mental structure inside us will get activated. During the sleep mode we will be away from the tasks which we can do physically, but mentally we are close to our goals and planning.

Our brain doesn’t completely rest during a sleep, it just relaxes and many of us will get dreams and when we are much tired and have no energy levels in us, then until the next morning we will be just sleeping.

During a sleep, the metabolism, respiration and the other biological process will be not disturbed, this proves that something is commanding and controlling them. This is the master brain, and when we think much about anything, and if we are much more passionate about something, then the mind doesn’t accept the sleep mode and it restricts our relaxation process and therebycausing the sleeping disorders.

A lifefull of tensions, and the mental stress and over thinking will lead to the sleeping disorders, and overall the world, many people are suffering from lack of sleep. Adults and youngsters top the list.
Personally,I am also a person suffering from a sleeping disorder, and mine is too worse, I will keep on working until the clock beats 04:00 Am. This is injurious to my health and I am also a victim of hypertension and migraine pains. I am very well aware of the side effects and the bad things that happen to me if I don’t sleep, but in most of the cases, I am just helpless. The passion and the burning inside me are so strong and that makes me wild and run after the goals and chase them down.
This is wrong, and I am not ashamed to accept my mistakebecause I need to explain the importance of sleep to those who are just beginning to think like me. It is a suicidal move, and please abandon the thought immediately if you are having one right now.

Today, i.e 16 March 2018, we are celebrating the World Sleep Day, this year’s theme is ‘ Join the Sleep World, Preserve Your Rhythm to Enjoy Life’. WSD is held the Friday before spring Vernal Equinox of each year, and am inspired by the WSD website to write this blog post. Next year’s World Sleep Day is on March 15, 2019.
  • Circadian rhythms refer to a cycle of the body. Natural factors from within the body produce circadian rhythms, but environmental factors such as sunlight also affect them.
  • Preserving regular Circadian rhythms have been found to lower the risk of sleep disorders, mental health disorders and chronic health issues such as obesity and diabetes.
Sleep disorders are common, but it occurred regularly then we need to take an immediate action to prevent it getting worst. The confidence, or we may call it as overconfidencesometimes in us is that we will think that ‘a single night lack of sleep will not cost me anything’, but it is not true. It will affect our overall performance during the day. And we can’t be as active as our mates, we feel confident, but our mind needs rest, it demands it during the day and our dull looking face will not impress anyone either.

I went on working midnights to early mornings, writing and writing, I was in love with the peace at nights, that silence made me wake up and work. Because that peace we hardly afford during the day, but the nightis meant for a sleep, I lost my health, slowly and slowly I began to spend my most of the time at the hospital. I made the doctor as a good friend.

This will happen to you too if you ignore to rest your mind and body. Once if we ignore this, it will become a habit. We might cover up all that tiredness and pretend like we are normal, but that insomnia is going to cost us much in the future. Unfortunately, it is too hard to admit that I am writing this post in the middle of the night. The good news is, am not that much sacrificing my sleep like I did in the past. In a week, am up for the late night a day or two, and the rest I will go to bed around 10:00 Pm.

God gave us a night to rest ourselves if there is no need of the night then why it should be there in the universe? If there is no requirement of sleep, why should we get tired after working long hours?
From this day, we are celebrating the sleep, we are going to celebrate the sleep together by spreading the awareness among the people who are sleep deprived.

Like we have discussed earlier, there are many reasons for a person to experience a sleeping disorder, it may be due to personal problems, health issues, depression etc. whatever the reason might be, we should try to overcome it and give space to rest.

And one more important thing to rise on this World Sleep Day is that we must not buy the sleep because we cannot buy it, it is free. The drugs cannot help us to sleep, they are the temporary triggers with way more trouble seekers in the future, we must not buy the sleep, we must own it for free. It is our right. So, my humble request to you all is not to buy it. Do not use any medication or high dosage drugs to get into sleep, they are not going to help out.

Try different ways, do a book reading, try to listen to the pleasant lullaby kind of music, and then fall asleep. Nothing is impossible, just try and share your experiences with me.
Happy Sleeping.
