The Story in Brief
Sleeping for eight hours may still leave people exhausted when sleep is interrupted or not restorative, Times Now News reports. Neurologists and psychiatrists cited by the outlet point to sleep apnoea, restless legs syndrome, fragmented sleep, chronic stress, irregular schedules and late screen use as possible causes. Nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disorders, autoimmune disease, chronic pain and mental health conditions may also contribute. Dr Shubha Subramanian of Kauvery Hospital said eight hours is generally adequate, but sleep quality can be affected by medical disorders or deficiencies. Dr Vivian Kapil of SRM Prime Hospital advised medical evaluation when fatigue lasts two to four weeks, particularly with snoring, headaches, low mood or concentration problems.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy claim that anyone tired after eight hours is simply stressed misses sleep disorders and medical causes. The opposite claim, that every bout of fatigue signals a serious illness, is equally unhelpful. Better habits can help, but persistent symptoms need assessment rather than guesswork. A sleep study or blood test, guided by a clinician, should settle whether the problem is poor sleep or another condition.
