After a long tiring day, all we look for is a clean bed to lie on and have a good night sleep. But many a times, we spend hours tossing and turning on our beds while trying to go to sleep. While many of us are blessed with sound sleep, there are people who face sleep-trouble on a regular basis. Sleeplessness or insomnia is a big problem, much more than we perceive it.

Hence, experts around the world suggest a proper 7-8-hour sleep per day is a must for proper functioning of body. It helps reboot our body and get ready for the upcoming day.
