Hello Mr
Good evening.
I wud like to comment . Sleep is very crucial
event of day to day life . A sleep duration of 7 to
8 hrs is must for ur age. Any alterations in sleep
below or above this range is not good.
You sud know the causes of sleep impairment
before treating it. Some common reasons for
sleep disturbances ,I will enlist here:
1. Normal sleep cycle is disturbed due to late
night work or any other late night habbits.
2. Any medical problem like lungs problem or
breathing or oral cavity problem can lead to
sleep disturbances.
3. Any substance abuse (alcohol, smoking,
tobacco, caffeine ,tea) cause problems in sleep
4. Any illness of Mood , cognition , Thought
impairs sleep .
5. Some Medicines cause sleep disturbances.
6. No evident cause .
7. Environment of ur bedroom also influence the
quality of ur sleep.
Many other factors has to be discussed in detail
along with ur mental state examination to
diagnose the reason of ur sleep disturbances.
Diagnosis of depression will be too
inappropriate without discussing Everything in
detail
Next Steps
Consult a Psychiatrist / Neuropsychiatrist of ur
choice and plan an appropriate treatment only
after ur diagnosis and reason for ur sleep
disorders is rationalised.
I will advise you to introduce " Sleep Hygeine"
process in ur life ,it is as follows:
1.Morning exercise is must.
2.Afternoon sleep sud be avoided.
3.Night food must be light
4.Dinner must be taken minimum of 2 hrs
before sleep.
5.Excessive Fluid in form water, coldrinks, beer,
alcohol sud be avoided.
6.Smoke , Tobacco, tea , coffee is not good in
need in night for sleep.
7. Room must be cool, calm & dark.
8. Your bed must be solely used for sleep, no
other activities on bed is allowed.
9. If possible change ur bed and room .
10.Before going to bed put ur legs into bucket
of warm water for 10 mins.
There many more process to help you but it too
long to discuss here.
Health Tips
Pls don't take any Sleeping pills on ur own OR
prescribed from any source without
prescription supervision of only and only

pattern.

bcoz of information provided on int are wrong ,
vague & confusing, better avoid it.
