When chaos increases, it may even affect our wellbeing and lead to burnout, sleep deprivation and insomnia. If our brains can get into a state of relaxation within a short period of time, perhaps we are bit more kinder and have a greater opportunity in not only dealing with the outer chaos but also calm down the chaos a bit – of the world, of the brain, of the individual. Dr. Jayaram Thimmapuram is an academic hospitalist at Wellspan York hospital where he primarily focuses on educating and mentoring internal medicine residents. After obtaining Membership of Royal College of Physicians in the United Kingdom, he moved to the United States and completed his internal medicine residency training at York hospital, Pennsylvania.
