Many people recognise Ramadan as a month in which one tends to remain awake at night and sleep during the day. The sudden change of eating habits and timing, from day to night (fasting during daytime and eating at night) are accompanied by some physiological changes in the body, said Dr Hady Jerdak, specialist internal medicine, pulmonary diseases, sleep disorders at Medcare Hospital.
"Disrupting the sleep cycle can have consequences on our health. It alters our immune system and affects our hormonal secretions. Patients who do not sleep well are the risk of developing viral illnesses and developing fatigue and tiredness," he said.
"Headache and lack of concentration are common symptoms of sleep deprivation. Adults usually sleep seven to nine hours per day and adolescents need more. Some of the symptoms of sleep deprivation that people experience include a headache, lack of concentration, dizziness, anxiety, depression and fatigue."
Good quality sleep consists of four to five cycles of sleep where each cycle has 40 per cent superficial sleep, 40 per cent deep sleep and 20 per cent rapid eye movement phase or dream phase.
"We usually do more deep sleep at the beginning of the night and more dreaming at the end of the night. During Ramadan, we are faced with a disruption of the normal sleep cycle since we need to wake up early to have suhoor and sleep late in addition to eating heavily before sleep," he said.
