Problems with sleep deprivation are found in many people. The problem of sleep deprivation is more prevalent, especially in old age. After going to bed, problems such as long sleep, frequent waking, and early waking up in the morning are seen.
Sleep is essential for the health of the body. Just like we get hungry at certain times, we get sleep at certain times. There are different types of sleep.
Light sleep
2. Deep sleep / comfortable sleep
3. Sleep shaking the eyelids
These different sleep cycles occur one after the other as we sleep. In a light sleep, we know someone is talking, and we can wake up in shock. Sleep is also thin when the eyelids are shaken. But, when we are in a deep sleep, then we do not know anything. This type of sleep is also colloquially called 'B hate Nidra'. Deep sleep is essential for the relaxation of the brain.
The body needs at least 6 hours of deep sleep for good health. Children and the sick need more sleep than that. Sometimes sleep deprivation can affect you the next day. That is why it is said that one day's sleep lasts for 7 days.

Psychological analysis of dreams
The famous psychologist Sigmund Freud has scientifically explained dreams. According to him, the things that are (recorded) in our brains come together, the insatiable desires of the mind are fulfilled, sometimes many events or things come together in a very painful or frightening way, the head of one creature is connected with the body or tail of another creature. Good and sometimes bad dreams come true.
Good dreams make the mind happy. Many people have nightmares and are afraid of what will happen next. It makes the mind restless. Dreams can be good or bad. There is no scientific reason why nightmares can be dangerous or bad.
In other words, our brain is a commuter. It records all the events, information, and facts of our daily life. During sleep, our brain is in a semi-conscious state. At that time in the dream, the records of these years seem to be mixed together. Sometimes they are happy, sometimes they are painful. Some people become psychotic because of nightmares and unnecessary worries. Sometimes you can't sleep through the night, this condition can be dangerous.
Patients with depression say that they do not get deep sleep, as a result of which the body does not become agile the next day. People with 'mania' get enough sleep, even if they sleep for only 2 hours. People with schizophrenia tend to watch TV all night, move around, and sleep during the day.
A balanced diet and a good night's sleep are important. Patients with epilepsy, a type of epilepsy that occurs only when they are asleep, tend to fall out of bed suddenly, stiffen their body, stretch, bite the foam in the mouth, and wake up again after 15 minutes.
Similarly, patients with 'anxiety disorder' are afraid of the dark. They feel like they are suffocating when they close the window, they can't stay alone, they are afraid that a ghost will come at night. However, the entire window should not be closed while sleeping at night. Due to which oxygen cannot be reduced.
Being overweight, not getting enough exercise, and drinking too much can lead to insomnia and dizziness.
When the nights are long in winter, the flow of melatonin hormone in our body increases and some people get depressed. This is especially the case in the polar country of Norway.
If the body does not sleep well after the surgery, the wound will be difficult to heal. In this case, sleeping pills are used. There are many types of sleeping pills available. However, you should not take medicine without getting enough sleep. Medication should be used only if the treatment is not successful.
When we sleep for many hours, only light sleep increases. In the morning, we often have dreams, which we can remember when we wake up. But, we cannot remember the dream seen in deep sleep.
Sometimes within 1-2 hours of sleeping, we get very scared, scream a lot, and our heart rate increases. This is called 'Night Terror'. It should not be remembered tomorrow. When you sleep soundly at night, your body feels relaxed, your muscles are relaxed, your body weight increases and your mental stress is reduced.
Treatment of sleep disorders

People who talk during sleep, gnash their teeth and shake their legs during sleep benefit from medication and psychological treatment.
Patients who are unable to move after waking up need counseling. This is not a product of superstition. It only takes a while for the body to move when it suddenly wakes up.
