Hyderabad: Marking the international sleep day on Friday, there were several programmes in the city. Specialists explained about the importance of a sound sleep in everyone's life. Corporate companies arranged talks across venues.
At Bus Bhavan, TSRTC organized an interactive session with its staff, wherein its managing director V.C. Sajjanar urged the employees to have adequate sleep to keep one physically and mentally healthy. According to many surveys, following Covid lockdown many people were subject to sleep deprivation.
In an IT company, Dr. Ashish Chauhan, adult immunisation specialist from Apollo Hospitals, said, "IT professionals, drivers, police officers, health care personnel and teenagers are at a greater risk as they are not giving the body proper sleep. This can cause obesity, Alzheimer's, BP, cancer and diabetes."
