Sleep and insomnia

 Being a physician, I learned that the two most pivot factors that play a role in human well-being are genes and the habit of good sleep. Fortunately, I usually sleep well for 8-10 hours. I advise friends and family to learn about sleep hygiene, like no caffeine after late afternoon, dark room, shut off phones at least 30 minutes before sleep, etc. Even if it requires pharmacological support, judiciously go for it. 

Said that the following is an interesting conversation with a friend:

"Kehte hain agar raat ke kisi paher, gehri neend main aik jhatke see aankh khul jaye to - is dharti ke kisi kone pe kisi insaan ke saath bara zulm huwa hai."

"No wonder! So many humans suffer from insomnia all their life!"
