A few days back, I was having a casual conversation with my mother, and she was talking about a family friend. 😊 Their kids have been married for 5 years, and everyone is asking the same question as to when they will give the good news about grandchildren. 🤔
I know how frustrating this can be when we hear the taunts of people talking about this topic. 😫 Especially it is very tough for a woman because they are often considered the first culprit in this issue.
I remember seeing the movie GoodNewwz a year back. This is the story of Varun and Deepti, who are doing well financially, but are struggling because they don’t have children. 💰😔
Every relative they meet talks about when is the good news. They work odd hours, managing their hectic schedules, and then they manage to make sure that their ends are met. 🕒👨💼👩💼
They consult a doctor, and they suggest IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). I’ve seen this trend becoming more normal nowadays. 👩⚕️🏥
In fact, I was talking to a person who was going through this practice of IVF. 😮
This makes me wonder why this trend is increasing a lot. Yes, I agree that technological advancements have improved medical care and facilities. 📈🏨
But the thing is, in the daily hustle, not many are really giving priority to sleep. 😴
The fact of the matter is when we cut down consciously on sleep during the weekdays, the brain has to compromise on many factors. Last week I talked about hair loss, and the most prominent among the compromises is that of reproduction. 💇♂️👶.
If you watched the movie 🎬 Titanic when the ship 🚢 is about to be submerged the captain of the shop evacuates the rich people in the boat. He makes the choice to evacuate the rich people and the poor are left to struggle. Similarly, the brain for it to survive prioritizes the functions for its survival.
So, in short, if you are thinking about why many married couples may be struggling, it may, of course, be stress and the hustle culture. But also, you need to give special importance to sleep. 😌💤.
“Quality sleep isn’t just a bedtime luxury; it’s the essential foundation for a healthy reproductive journey.” 💤👶
