When you sleep, you are not simply resting. Your body is actively repairing and resetting itself. While most of us view it as the final checkbox at the end of a long day, modern science is clear, sleep is as fundamental to survival as food and water.
It goes beyond keeping fatigue at bay because sleep strengthens your immunity, regulates your moods, and sharpens your memory. Ignore it, and the costs are far higher than just dark circles.
The Architecture of Sleep
Did you know you sleep in cycles? Each roughly lasts about 90 minutes, with two broad categories: Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. Both play distinct roles in recovery.
NREM sleep is further classified into Stage 1,2, and 3.
Light Sleep (NREM Stage 1 & 2): During these stages, your body slows down. Your heart rate and body temperature drop, preparing the body for deeper stages. Though light, it accounts for more than half of our total sleep.
Deep Sleep (NREM Stage 3): this is the most restorative stage. The body repairs tissues, releases growth hormones, and strengthens the immune system. Deep sleep is crucial for waking up refreshed and resilient.
REM Sleep: This is when you dream the most. The brain consolidates memories, regulates emotions, and fuels creativity. During REM, neural connections are strengthened, making it vital for learning and problem-solving.
Adults typically need 7–9 hours of sleep a night, with about 20–25% spent in REM and another 15–20% in deep sleep. Cut this short, and the brain and body lose out on critical repair work.
Sleep and Mood: Why Rest Fuels Resilience
Sleep deprivation and irritability go hand-in-hand. University of Pennsylvania researchers found that people who slept for only 4.5 hours a night for one week reported feeling more stressed, angry, sad, and mentally exhausted. When they returned to a normal sleep schedule, they reported a dramatic improvement in mood.
Other studies have found that even one night of restricted sleep (four to five hours) increased negative emotional responses to neutral pictures. That means frustration, anxiety, and anger are amplified, while the ability to feel joy or calm is muted.
In contrast, adequate and consistent sleep stabilizes mood swings and enhances resilience. REM sleep provides what neuroscientists call an “overnight therapy session,” allowing the brain to reprocess difficult memories without the sting of stress hormones.
Sleep and Immunity: The Body’s Reset
Think of sleep as the immune system’s reset button. During deep sleep, the body ramps up production of cytokines, proteins that help fight infection and inflammation.
The effects of skipping sleep are striking. A study by the University of California, San Francisco, found that people who averaged less than six hours of sleep were four times more likely to catch a cold than those sleeping more than seven hours.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, several reviews highlighted that poor sleep was linked to weaker vaccine response and higher susceptibility to infection. For India, a country where 60% of adults get less than six hours of rest, this is a public health red flag.
Sleep and Memory: Sharpening the Mind
Sleep isn’t just about storage, it’s about synthesis. During deep sleep, the hippocampus transfers information to the cortex for long-term storage. Without this, memories fade faster.
Various studies have shown that people who slept after learning a list of words, or a particular skill were able to recall them 20–40% more than those who stayed awake. In addition, REM sleep strengthens associative memory, the brain’s ability to connect ideas creatively. That’s why a lot of modern business coaching systems use rest and naps to spark insights.
India’s Sleep Deficit: A Cultural Cost
India is among the most sleep-deprived nations in the world. Surveys show that one in three urban Indians gets less than six hours of sleep on weekdays. Long commutes, late-night screen time, and the glamorization of hustle culture all contribute.
The consequences are not just personal, they’re economic. The RAND Corporation estimated that sleep deprivation costs India’s economy nearly $80 billion annually in lost productivity. That’s equivalent to 2.5% of GDP.
Building Better Sleep Habits
Improving sleep quality doesn’t require drastic change, just consistency and awareness.
Prioritize regular sleep habits: Go to bed and wake up at the same time daily.
Control light exposure: Morning sunlight boosts alertness; dim light at night signals the body to wind down.
Create a sleep sanctuary: A supportive mattress, cool temperature, and minimal noise are non-negotiables.
Limit stimulants: Caffeine and late-night screen time disrupt deep and REM sleep cycles.
Sleep may feel passive, but it’s the most active recovery process the body undertakes. It resets mood, arms the immune system, and cements memory, all while we’re unaware. Ignore it, and the costs pile up silently in burnout, illness, and forgetfulness.
FAQs
How much sleep do adults really need?+
Most adults require 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night. Out of this, about 20–25% should be REM sleep and 15–20% deep sleep. Sleeping less than that by even an hour or two on a regular basis adds up, leading to lower immunity, poorer mood regulation, and memory lapses.
Can catching up on sleep over the weekend fix the damage?+
Catching up on sleep over the weekend, may reduce some tiredness and fatigue, but it doesn’t fully restore what was lost during the periods of sleeplessness during the week. Irregular sleep patterns can also confuse the body’s circadian rhythm, making it harder to fall asleep and wake up at the right times. The best approach is steady, adequate sleep every night.
How does sleep affect my mood?+
When you sleep, especially during REM (dream) sleep, your brain processes the emotions and experiences of the day. Without enough REM sleep, stress hormones like cortisol remain elevated, which makes you irritable and anxious. Over time, chronic sleep loss is linked to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

You jolt awake, your mind instantly alert, but your body remains a leaden weight, pinned to the bed. A crushing pressure settles on your chest, and a shadowy figure may even lurk in the corner of your vision. You try to scream, to move a finger, but your muscles are completely unresponsive.
This terrifying nightmare is a phenomenon commonly known as ‘sleep paralysis’. In this article, we decode what sleep paralysis is, why it happens, who is at risk, and how to manage it.
From the incubus of Roman legend to the kanashibari in Japan, people have ascribed religious meaning, ancient mythological status and even witchcraft to sleep paralysis. Today, this temporary glitch in the sleep cycle is easily explained by science.
7.6% of the world’s population has experienced at least one episode of sleep paralysis
How Sleep Paralysis Occurs
Sleep paralysis is also known, in medical terms, as parasomnia. It's a mixed state of consciousness in between REM sleep and wakefulness. It is characterized by temporary muscle atonia (paralysis) while the person is conscious yet aware.
Figure 1- Illustration of sleep cycle stages and highlights where sleep paralysis can happen.
To understand sleep paralysis, we must first understand sleep cycles.
Sleep is not a continuous process. Your sleep is actually broken up into several sleep phases, each lasting about 90 minutes. There are two main sleep cycles, which are Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep.
NREM sleep is crucial for physical restoration, while REM sleep is where most of your vivid dreams occur. It is characterized by increased brain yet lowered physical activity. It is where memory consolidation and emotional processing takes place.
Source: Source
During REM sleep, the brain protectively sends signals to temporarily paralyze the body's voluntary muscles, known as REM atonia.
Sleep paralysis occurs during the transition between wakefulness and REM sleep. Your brain is switched on or is in a state of wakefulness, making you fully aware, but the REM atonia has not yet been fully switched off. You are mentally awake but physically trapped, creating the experience of sleep paralysis.
Who Is At Risk?
While anyone can experience sleep paralysis, certain factors make some more prone to sleep paralysis than others. These are:
Irregular sleep schedules: Students cramming late at night or IT/BPO professionals on night shifts are prime candidates. India’s 4-million-strong outsourcing workforce often lives with disrupted circadian rhythms.
Sleep deprivation: Less than 6 hours of sleep, a common pattern in Indian metros, heightens vulnerability.
Stress and anxiety: High cortisol levels interfere with normal REM cycles. Surveys show urban Indians among the most stressed populations globally.
Underlying conditions: Narcolepsy, depression, and especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which affects an estimated 104 million Indians, are strongly associated with fragmented REM sleep.
Lifestyle factors: Caffeine late at night, alcohol, or heavy late dinners can all interfere with sleep architecture.
Dealing With Sleep Paralysis, The Mindset Shift
If you find yourself in the middle of an episode, the most powerful tool available to you to combat this, is your mindset. Understanding what is happening can dramatically reduce the associated fear and anxious thoughts.
The first step is to remind yourself that this is a temporary, harmless event. Acknowledge that the hallucinations are not real and that the paralysis will pass.
Try to relax your body by focusing on small movements, like wiggling a toe or a finger, which can sometimes be enough to break the atonia and end the episode.
Control your breathing, slow, deliberate breaths, can also help calm your natural panic-ridden response.
More than anything else, the most effective preventative measure of sleep paralysis, is to prioritize consistent, high-quality sleep. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, while managing your stress. If your episodes are frequent, severe, or causing significant distress, it is important to consult a doctor to rule out an underlying mental health condition or sleep disorder. By replacing fear with knowledge, you can demystify this phenomenon and take active steps toward a more peaceful night's rest.

While your pillow might be considered a mere accessory, it has a significant impact on your sleep quality. Your comfort and health depend on it. The correct pillow can make a world of difference. It can help you wake up either refreshed or tired, with body aches and headaches. Choosing the right pillows is as important as selecting the right mattress.
However, one can achieve a balance between plush comfort that you can sink into and firm back and neck support. Soft pillows bring about a balance between the two choices, but only when they are designed with the right ergonomic science. Orthopedic pillows and other pillow types from the Duroflex range are crafted to provide the ultimate comfort and the support your body needs.
If you have been searching for pillows that best suit your neck and back alignment, or specifically for a pillow for neck pain that feels exceedingly soft yet durable, here’s what you need to know.
The Importance of Neck and Back Support for Sleep
Having a great night’s rest is not just about clocking the hours. In those 7-8 hours, you need to maintain your back’s spinal alignment to wake up rested and comfortable. Improper rest means that your neck has not received the support it needs, tilting too much forward or too far to the side. All this causes strain that pulses to the shoulders, the back, and all along your spine.
It is therefore important to pair the back and neck support pillow with the right kind of mattress for back pain issues, whereby your entire spine, from the neck to the lower tailbone, gets the proper support all through the night.
How Does Soft Pillow Make a Difference?
Unlike what the term means, “soft” does not mean weak or unsupportive. When it comes to spinal health, the top soft pillows balance out the plush feel with structure. Cradling your head and neck, they adapt to changing sleeping positions, preventing awkward sleeping angles that may cause discomfort.
When selecting soft pillows, here’s what you need to know.
Adaptive Stuffing:
High-quality fiber and materials such as natural fillings, keep moving based on where you place your head and the head shape.
Breathability:
Materials are good that keep the body comfortable and cool throughout the night.
Ergonomically Designed:
Ergonomic design moulds the pillow as per the alignment of the cervical spine.
