Ever since the lockdown has started our sleep routine has been disturbed. we have been sleeping more or replacing our sleep with Netflix bingeing or we have changed our sleep time. Whatever the case is it is going to have an effect on our health in a long term, physiologically and psychologically Let’s see how bad sleep schedule affects our lives          1.    Memory During sleep, pathways from between nerve cells (neurons) in your brain that help you form memory  and store the information you learned. Sleep deprivation can cause memory deprivation too          2.     Concentration When you sleep your brain gets rest too. Even you must have noticed that when you are fresh you work better than when you are sleepy. When you sleep less, the signal your brain sends may also be delayed, decreasing your co-ordination   and can cause mishaps.    Hallucinations may also happens where you hear and see things which are not really present

On 10 th May we celebrated Mother’s Day. This day is not just about showing gratitude towards mothers but also celebrating the most beautiful feeling of motherhood. We must have celebrated this day with joy, excitement. Some of you would have made a card, or did all the house chores, or wrote a poem for mother, or made cakes, and told her how much she means to you and so many different ways. In this world of social media it is always fun to see all my friend’s mother’s photos!   Yes that's my mom. Isn't she beautiful?   But now let’s not just keep this care restricted to this day! Let’s show her love all the way through her life by taking care of her health too. Mothers are amazing, they might go to any extent for protecting their child but forget to take care of themselves.
