Television star Tejasswi Prakash recently appeared on comeddigihunt Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbaachiya’s podcast show.
Facing Sleepless Nights
During the conversation, the actress opened up about her ongoing struggle with sleepless nights. Haarsh, attempting to lift her spirits, remarked, “It’s not like that. If you sleep early, you’ll get sleep early. You don’t get sleep after a certain time.” Tejasswi responded candidly, “No, I don’t get sleep anyhow. I just lie down. I don’t have a mobile or TV in hand or for distraction. I just lie down and keep looking at the fan for hours.”
The Frustration of Insomnia
Tejasswi continued, expressing her frustration: “Literally, it’s so frustrating. You know, hours go by, and sometimes you see the sunrise through the curtains. And you don’t get sleep for a single night. Seriously, there are so many nights in a week that I don’t sleep at all. Not even for a minute. Also, because I live in a row house, and I am on the ground level, sometimes I hear the sound of birds early in the morning. I can hear it, and then I know that it is morning now.” Haarsh then inquired about how she manages to function the next day without any sleep.
Coping with Sleep Deprivation
Tejasswi explained, “This has been happening for the last year, I think. In the beginning, there was a lot of irritation over ‘why didn’t I sleep?’ I used to be so tired that ideally I should have crashed to bed instantly, but no, I was wide awake. That would make my day go bad and make me even more cranky.” She added, “But after a while, I realised that ‘even though I didn’t sleep the last night, why should I waste the next day?’ So now I wake up and say, ‘That it’s okay, I didn’t sleep, and it’s fine.’”
Struggling with Limited Sleep
Tejasswi shared that on the day of the podcast shoot, she had only slept from 6 AM to 11 AM. Haarsh was taken aback and asked how she managed with just five hours of sleep. She replied, “I just can’t sleep!”
