As physicians, we often encounter patients who complain of “brain fog.” They describe it as a state where their mind feels cloudy, concentration becomes difficult, memory slips more frequently, and decision-making slows down. While this is not a medical diagnosis in itself, it is a symptom that warrants attention. Brain fog can be temporary, related to lifestyle factors, or it can point toward an underlying medical condition that requires evaluation and treatment.

As physicians, we often remind patients that sleep is not simply a pause in daily activity—it is an active, restorative process that keeps the body and mind functioning at their best. Sleep is as vital as food, water, and oxygen, yet it remains one of the most undervalued elements of health. Modern lifestyles have pushed sleep into the background, often treated as optional, when in reality, it is the time during which the body performs its deepest and most necessary repairs.
