While we have known about the science of sleep since time immemorial, most research in modern medicine with regards to our sleep has occurred only in the last 3-4 decades. Although an individual spends nearly one-third of his/her time sleeping, very little attention is paid to monitoring sleeping patterns. With increasing obesity, sedentary lifestyle and abnormal timings of sleeping, sleep disorders are becoming more and more common. The number of hours that is required in sleeping, what timings to follow and what impact these have on our lives need to be understood. Dr. Vivek Nangia will address some of these issues and highlight how a good sleep can transform our health
