Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Manan Vora warns ‘sleep shaming’ is one of the most common health mistakes Indians make

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Manan Vora identifies 'sleep shaming' as a common health mistake in Indian households, where waking early is praised and sleeping in is criticized as lazy.

Dr Vora explains that sleep quality is measured by completing the body's natural recovery process, not by wake-up time, and that interrupting sleep harms the brain.

The surgeon notes that the body requires seven to eight hours of uninterrupted, good-quality sleep for repair and restoration.
