The Dhaka Times Desk Sleeping during the day is called rice sleep. However, doctors say that excessive sleep during the day is a bad habit. Not only that, this habit of daytime sleep can also cause serious diseases like dementia or amnesia, according to doctors.
I want to go to bed especially after eating and drinking in the afternoon. The habit of napping is slightly more common among the elderly. Basically, this habit develops out of constant leisure and boredom. However, doctors call excessive sleep during the day a bad habit. They even said that the habit of daytime sleep can cause serious diseases like 'dementia' or amnesia.
'Partied' the night before or, lack of sleep due to office work pressure. He thought he would make up for that sleep by sleeping in the morning of the holiday. However, nothing compares to a good night's sleep. Doctors claim that only if the body's circadian clock is normal, all serious diseases can be suppressed. One of these is dementia. If you have a habit of sleeping more during the day, they suggest to overcome it.
Recently, a post by Sudhir Kumar, a neurologist from Hyderabad, has gone viral on the net. He clarified that if you think that you will make up for the lack of sleep during the day, then you are wrong. Sudhir, a neurologist at a reputed private hospital in Hyderabad, feels that no matter how much sleep you get during the day, it cannot be equivalent to the night sleep. Rather, this habit increases the risk of other mental diseases including dementia.
In his favor, he also gave several examples of surveys. Where the survey was done mainly on night shift workers. Tests have shown that most of those workers suffer from mental stress, obesity, forgetfulness etc. due to lack of sleep at night.
The main reason for this is that protein waste is cleared from the brain more during sleep. The reason is that the glymphatic system is most active at that time. If there is an imbalance in this system, diseases such as hallucinations can take root in the body. In addition to lack of good sleep, age or daily lifestyle or habits, obesity, sleep apnea or breathing problems during sleep, depression etc. further affect the glymphatic system. Therefore, doctors claim that there is no alternative to a good night's sleep.
What exactly is dementia?
Problems such as complete or partial memory loss, difficulty in causal thinking, inability to make decisions are called dementia or dementia in scientific terms.
According to a report in 'Lancet' magazine, by the year 2050, about 1.14 million people may suffer from dementia in India alone. Source: Anandabazar Patrika Online.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
