Sleeping with enemy

Sleep is integral part of ourliving . Sleep in appropiate way and time stimulates body to achieve a balance .
I saw a man sleeping in his shop and snoring . His brother consented he doesnot sleep at a stretch and all day also he will doze off every hour or so . Sleep apnoea syndrome . Poor man he was on psychiatric treatment for behaving in a vague way .
I could make a diagnosis of him . Because of constant loud snooring his soft palate used to collapse and cause obstruction to free flow of air .he would wake up to gasp for air and again sleep . The cycle repeats and the patient doesnot sleep at night and so also day . Day time somnolence. 

Such patients are prone for hypertension and heart diseases . If not diagnosed in time can manifest s in a amalgamation of diseases.

There is treatment available for this and doctor might recommend a cpap machine or surgery
.
Came across other dimension of sleep during my practice . Insomnia . The rich wealthy man came for cabg . On history he told he has not slept for 30 years and we should help him with sleep medications after surgery . He owned 36 mines around the area but no sleep . Could it be responsible for his heart disease  ?

Sleep praceful under the starry skies is a sign of royalty . So even if one doesnot own a car bike or say mobile of he is able to sleep peacefully them he is blessed . Modern man in his zest to achieve more wealth has lost his sleep and has to resort to drugs and pills .

A man who has sound sleep will seldom have hypertension.  Other diseases are a ping ball effect of the same and a time reaches exponential magnitude. 

So how much sleep is required ? On an average sleeping for 8 hours is good and this stimulate s body time for wear tear . This repair process is lost in insomnia . And many diseases come forth .

Constant worry of wealth ,
