Can’t Sleep, Can’t Focus, Always Tired? A Top Neurologist Explains What’s Going On

Image
More than 30% of adults in India have poor sleep quality. That’s from a study published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry . And the number keeps growing, especially in big cities like Delhi. So if you're lying awake at night, struggling to think clearly in the morning, and feeling tired all the time — you're not alone. But the bigger question is: Why is this happening to so many people? “I sleep, but I don’t feel rested.” That’s what many patients tell neurologists. They go to bed on time. They wake up after 7 or 8 hours. But they feel like they never slept at all. Some also say: “My brain is foggy.” “I forget simple things.” “I just can’t think clearly anymore.” If this sounds familiar, there might be more going on than just stress or screen time. Sleep is connected to the brain Sleep is not just about rest. It’s a neurological process . Your brain has to shift between stages — light sleep, deep sleep, and REM. When these stages are broken or skipped, th...

What If Your Seizures and Headaches Are Connected? Delhi Doctors Break It Down

Sometimes people have both seizures and headaches. You may think they’re separate problems, but they might actually be linked. In Delhi, many neurologists are now focusing on this connection. They say it’s more common than most people realize. Here’s how it works. Seizures and Headaches: What’s the Link? First, it helps to understand what both conditions are. A seizure happens when there’s sudden, unusual activity in the brain. It can cause shaking, staring spells, confusion, or even loss of awareness. A headache is pain in your head or face. It can be dull or sharp, and sometimes it’s caused by tension, stress, or changes in the brain. Now here’s the part many people don’t know: Some people get migraines or tension headaches before or after a seizure . Doctors call this an ictal headache (happens during a seizure) or a postictal headache (after the seizure). In simple terms, your brain is reacting to the seizure, and a headache is part of that reaction. What Patients Say...
