Why ‘sleep shaming’ may be one of India’s biggest health mistakes
Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Manan Vohra warned that 'sleep shaming' in Indian households could significantly harm health by promoting chronic sleep deprivation. He criticized the cultural belief that equates waking up early with discipline, arguing that adequate sleep is essential for mental and physical well-being. Experts, including Dr Neetu Jain, emphasize that societal attitudes toward sleep can lead to serious health issues, urging a reevaluation of how sleep is perceived in both homes and workplaces.
