Amitabh Bachchan On Sleepless Nights Due To Work
Recently, the actor also opened up about struggling with sleepless nights because of his packed work schedule. Big B shared that while medical advice recommends at least seven hours of sleep, his work commitments often keep him awake late into the night.
He wrote, “No sleep process takes over at this hour of the morning from the night before. Why because, work is more important than sleep… medical says it’s not right… must get 7 hrs minimum… the body grows, develops and repairs in the sleep hours… so what does one do? As I work, I am glued to the Ef Blog but in the silence of the night that gentle music on slide guitar – sitar rendering some of the most soulful classical meditation solos… aaah!! there is no better cure for the soul than this."
The actor further shared how deeply he connects with music, especially classical and meditative sounds, which he finds soothing during restless nights.
