Chronic Insomnia: How Poor Sleep Quietly Affects Your Brain
Lying awake past midnight, waking repeatedly, or feeling unrefreshed every morning is more than an inconvenience. Chronic insomnia quietly strains mood, memory, and overall brain performance—especially for night-owl professionals in Hyderabad.
Dr. Dheemanth Reddy at Neumed Clinics, Nallagandla notes that sleep is active brain maintenance: when it fails for months, daytime function and neurological well-being suffer.
