💤 Can one sleepless night really damage your brain?
Science says — YES. 🧠
Even a 24-hour lack of sleep can harm your brain’s recovery system, and shockingly, you can only restore 30–50% of that lost function even if you sleep later! 😱
In this insightful discussion, Dr. Thejus Kumar and Dr. Sunil M.R. explain the truth about sleep deprivation, REM sleep loss, and mental fatigue — and why “catching up” on sleep doesn’t work the way you think.

Remember — sleep is not optional; it’s neurological repair.
