Torn Between CSE at Manipal and Dual Degree at BITS for My Son

Ans: Which type of Degree?

Ans: Feeling sleepy after breakfast and struggling to wake up in the morning can be linked to several factors, especially in diabetics. Here are some insights and tips to help manage your symptoms:

Possible Nocturnal Hypoglycemia: If your blood sugar drops during the night, it can affect the quality of your sleep and lead to morning sluggishness. You could try having a glass of milk before bed to help maintain blood sugar levels overnight. Consult your doctor to monitor glucose levels more closely.

Post-Breakfast Sleepiness: The type of breakfast you have might be causing a blood sugar spike, followed by a crash. Opt for a balanced meal with complex carbs, protein, and fiber to prevent rapid sugar fluctuations. Avoid sugary or processed foods that can cause drowsiness.

Sleep Quality and Schedule: Although you sleep around 11 PM, if your sleep quality is compromised (like waking up for urination), it may not be fully restorative. Try to reduce fluid intake an hour before bed, and consult a healthcare professional to address frequent urination.

Morning Exercise: Doing yoga or walking earlier in the day, particularly in the morning, can boost your energy levels and reduce daytime sluggishness.

Check with a Doctor: It’s important to discuss the possibility of hypoglycemia and other metabolic factors with your doctor, especially considering your diabetes and HbA1C levels. Adjusting your medication, diet, or routine may be necessary.

Combining balanced meals, consistent exercise, and good sleep hygiene should help reduce the sluggishness you're experiencing during the day.

Ans: Yes, it’s completely normal if you can’t touch your toes, especially if you're new to yoga or have tight hamstrings. Flexibility varies from person to person, and many people struggle with this initially. Regular practice of stretching and yoga poses like Paschimottanasana (Seated Forward Bend) or Uttanasana (Standing Forward Bend) will gradually improve your flexibility.

Don’t force it—listen to your body and ease into the stretches. With time, consistency, and patience, you’ll find that your range of motion will naturally increase, and you may eventually touch your toes.

Ans: It’s normal to feel sleepy after practicing Anulom Vilom, especially when you're new to it. Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and balance energy in the body. This can make you feel relaxed, which sometimes leads to drowsiness, especially if you're already tired or stressed.

Here are some tips to avoid feeling sleepy:

Practice in the morning: You’ll feel more energized if you do Anulom Vilom when you're fresh.
Maintain an upright posture: Sit with your spine straight to stay alert.
Increase the pace: Initially, try slightly faster breathing to keep energy levels up, then gradually slow down.
Engage your mind: Focus on your breath or mentally chant “Om” to stay present and avoid drowsiness.
Balance your routine: Make sure you're not overly tired before starting. If you're fatigued, even gentle practices can lead to sleepiness.
As your body gets used to it, you’ll find it easier to stay alert and refreshed after your practice.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
First of all, I am really sorry you are going through such a tough phase in your life. Cheating is, indeed, inexcusable. I am not pushing you to get separated, but if your children are what's holding you back, I would like for you to remember that divorced but happy parents are far better for children's mental health than parents stuck in an unhappy marriage.

Since, divorce is not an option, the only choice left is to try to make the marriage work. I would suggest seeing a marriage counselor. You have every right to feel all the emotions you are experiencing right now. A counselor can guide you better in navigating these feelings and help both of you come out of this situation.

Best Wishes.
