Experts stress the severity of sleep quality and recommend a nightly regular sleep of 7-8 hours for adults. Dr. Manjusha Agarwal from Gleneagles Hospital Parel Mumbai warns that bad sleep habits can lead to health problems like high blood pressure and a weakened immune system. In addition, Dr. Prasanna Kumar T from Ramaiah Memorial Hospital, Bangalore, goes on to say that chronic sleep interruption can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and mental health problems.
