Sleep is a complex phenomenon, and even though we spend one-third of our lives sleeping, there’s still very little that we know about it. We delve in to some common sleep problems with Dr Manvir Bhatia, a senior neurologist, electrophysiologist, and a sleep specialist. She is the Director of Neurology and Sleep Centre, New Delhi, and one of the pioneers in the development of Neurophysiology and sleep medicine in the country. She also authored a book called ‘The Sleep Solution’, a go-to book for all your sleep-related problems (available on Amazon). In fact, it is the only book written in India on sleep, an easy read based on patient’s questions.

It depends upon the age. A small kid will need 16-18 hours, for a toddler 10-11 hours, teenagers 9 hours, and an adult will require 7-8 hours. If this doesn’t happen, you will eventually feel tired. Above 80-85, they actually need less sleep but they feel the need of more, and this where the problem arises.
