Spiritual leader Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has undergone brain surgery due to internal bleeding. A medical team consisting of multiple doctors at Delhi-based Apollo Hospital performed urgent brain surgery shortly after his admission to address the skull bleeding. The root cause behind the surgery was an “extremely severe headache”.
According to Sadhguru’s neurologist Dr Vinit Suri, the spiritual leader had a “very severe” headache for the last “four weeks” but had been ignoring it to go about his daily routine.
Does it sound familiar? We all keep avoiding headaches and move on to do daily stuff by popping painkillers assuming it could be due to insufficient sleep or stress. Sadhguru just faced a “life-threatening” situation because of similar assumption.
According to Harvard Health, there are more than 300 types of headaches, but only about 10% have a known cause. The others are called ‘primary headaches’, such as tension headaches which are most common, occurring in three of every four adults. Other headaches include migraine, headaches due to high blood pressure, sinus-related headaches, medication-related headaches, exercise-related headaches, among others.

| 7 adults reveal things that their parents did unknowingly that had a negative impact in their life © Provided by The Times of India |
hildren tend to absorb their parents' concern often and become traumatized, anxious all the time, and experiencing the same types of fears without even realizing it. Unwillingly parents transfer a lot of trauma into their children without knowing how it might affect them later in life. Most likely, a parent who was nervous or emotionally distant was also traumatized as a child. Therefore, the purpose here is to not hold them accountable for your shortcomings but grow out of it leaving the emotional baggage behind. Here are 6 adults who shared how their parents actions inflicted negative impact on them:
Recounting that bad experience, Shuvangi says, “This one time my father forgot to pick me up from school and I kept waiting for him even as they closed the gates and they told me to call him from the principal’s office. Being the last kid to leave school in the evening was pretty traumatic as a child. I'm not gonna lie . Anyway, he had genuinely forgotten and asked me to walk back home. Safe to say he heard an earful when he came back from the office that evening from my mom. I had new found abandonment issues after that.”

It is very easy and, to some extent, logical to connect your fatigue with lack of sleep.
You are up in the morning from a good eight hours of rest, and yet your day does not seem half as energetic as it should be. So, is 'lack of sleep' only to be blamed?
While most of us wish that was the only reason, here's something to burst your bubble – the tiredness could be a sign of a deep-rooted problem that needs your attention ASAP.
While 'enough sleep' could be the go-to solution for your tiredness, sometimes it just does not do the trick.
Binge-watching means no physical activity. Sometimes, even walking up to the kitchen to get a bottle of water seems like a tough task to complete. Lack of physical activity could be the reason why you are not getting the quality sleep you need and are waking up feeling tired and unable to figure out the problem.
Solution: "It is important to keep your body moving. If a person is not exercising much and is not physically active, he may be bound to gain weight and muscle activity will also decrease. The metabolic profile of the body will change too. Therefore, the body will keep requiring more rest and will feel fatigued despite enough sleep," Dr Mayank Saxena, additional director of pulmonology at Fortis Hospital, Noida, said
