Based on a study conducted by the Shanghai Institution of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Sleep Disorders, about 7 million Chinese suffer from tossing and turning. Additionally, women were found to be suffering 1.5 times more than men.

In those numbers too, children are included. China has a population of 19 million and you can just imagine a percentage of that having to deal with such issues. Doctors have warned about the side effects of sleep deprivation, which can cause car accidents, depression, anxiety and cardiovascular problems. Studies also show that sleep disorders affect people’s memory, emotions and learning ability.

The report was shared in relation to the celebration of World Sleep Day which fell on a Sunday.

Dreams have drawn various conclusions. Some say they are subconscious states while others claim they are a parallel straight of awareness. Others call them an emotional state drawn from what we have already encountered prior to sleep while others call it something as an omen. Which is which? There is no specific explanation for dreams. Scientists continue to debate on its frugality. But analyzing dreams is perhaps the closest we can get.

The latest analysis is that of tagging dreams as a physiological. The brain is warming its circuits, anticipating the sights and sounds and emotions of waking. And as always there are objections. Many have their own presumptions and no one is bound to agree to claim that his own findings are false. Which do we believe? One thing is for sure, it is a different state. Some even call it the state where we go when we die. If there is a safe conclusion, it is perhaps the fact that we all have our own beliefs and while science is intervening, you can bet that a lot of debate will continue.

But once they do get their proper respite and sleep to make up for their lacking sleep endeavors, you will be surprised at the immediate change in mood and character. Who can blame them? Once you are rejuvenated you are bound to feel like a million bucks!

Dr Nilesh Dave, medical director of the Sleep and Breathing Disorders Centre at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre, says: “When you get good-quality sleep and enough hours of it, it is amazing how much better patients’ moods are, how much better they’re functioning. They’re truly happy.”
