Many experts believe that due to sleep deprivation one can face several types of health illness. Along with the consumption of healthy food, performing work out, and doing skincare routines, sleep is an aspect which is quite necessary and shouldn't be overlooked. In case of an inadequate sleep routine, the chances are high that one might experience irritation, frustration, increased hunger, fatigue as well as ailments like heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. An ideal duration for an undisturbed sleep for an adult human body is at least 7 to 8 hours. However, the sleep routine may get affected due to increased screen exposure, too much caffeine consumption near bedtime, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and more.
