    Yes, sir. Sleep is not a luxury. Tiredness,fatigue and lack of proper sleep causes slowing down and coordination of reflex actions, errors in judgement . Those who have not slept should not operate any motor machines or perform any physical work(using a hammer, sharp instruments etc.) that could result in an accident leading to physical harm to self or others. Driving or riding a motor vehicle after not having slept properly is as dangerous as drunken driving. A minimum of 6 hrs of undisturbed sleep prior to such work is an absolute must. Jet-lag is an example of change of sleeping hours and its effects are well known. The circadian rhythm of the body must not be disturbed. Good regular sleep pattern of 8 hrs for an adult is a very important factor to good health particularly when fighting diseases.

    Maybe deprived of sleep due to late night show . Any art form should adjust to needs of changing times .. Full night yakshagana is a health hazard due to sleep deprivation ...Better to adjust timings Maybe until 1 AM Max. Start early..play small and specific "Prasanga" which evokes interest amongst public ..Keep it clean without double meaning ..Do not indulge and propagate superstition ..instead promote positivity and love,
