The Sleeping Brain: What a Neurologist Wants You to KnowWe are supposed to be sleeping for one-third of our lives. Sounds too much, but in fact it is crucial.In this episode of The Rita Date Podcast, senior paediatric neurologist Dr. Nandan Yardi returns for Part 2 of our series on the brain, lifestyle, and neurological health. This time, we go deep on sleep — what actually happens in your brain while you rest, why chronic sleep deprivation is accelerating neurodegeneration. Dr. Yardi brings over three decades of clinical experience to a conversation that is part neuroscience masterclass, part practical guide. We cover - the stages of sleep, - the link between poor sleep and conditions like dementia, Parkinson's, and epilepsy,- why so many of us wake at 3 AM- whether your sleep tracker is helping you or quietly making things worse.And then we get practical — which yogic tools actually calm a racing mind, what Yoga Nidra really is and how it differs from sleep, and the one simple practice Dr. Yardi would recommend you try tonight.Whether you're a chronic poor sleeper, a late-night scroller, or just curious about what your brain is doing while you dream — this episode is for you.🔗 Miss Part 1?
