Overview

Sleep isn’t just rest — it’s one of the most powerful tools your brain has to stay healthy. In this video, we explore the critical link between poor sleep and mental distress, including anxiety, irritability, low mood, brain fog, and emotional instability.

Dr Ria Talwar from Samarpan Health explains how chronic sleep deprivation disrupts brain chemicals, impacts decision-making, and increases the risk of mood disorders. She breaks down the science of why skipping sleep can feel like your brain is shutting down — and what you can do to fix it.

Whether you're struggling with insomnia, late-night scrolling, or the pressure to stay productive, this video gives you doctor-approved, practical tips to improve sleep quality — inspired by the rising “sleepmaxxing” trend.
