Question by Vinod on Mar 17, 2023Hindi

Health

I am 42 and have been doing the night shift for 3 years. I came back home by 330 am and hardly got sleep for 5 to 6 hours. I get up by 9 to 930 am and do hard gym post that and sleep for around 45 mins in the afternoon. I feel I should get sleep of around 7 to 8 hours in one go. I tried everything right from binural music, to lavender aroma to dark room and even sleeping pills but max I got 6 hours of sleep. Please guide me to improve it 7 or 8 hours

Ans: Circadian rhythm works with the day and night and our sleep wake cycle is regulated accordingly. Night duty disturbs this, rhythm. However much one tries to sleep during day, the quality of sleep of what one gets at night along with the natural supporting hormone cannot be matched.
Now having done night shift for 3 yrs, your body must have adopted certain ways. Physiologically the day hormone cortisol tries to keep us, awake which is why you are not able to sleep. But 5-6 hrs of good quality sleep is sufficient and it is the quality and not the quantity of sleep that matters

Health

I am 42 and have been doing the night shift for 3 years. I came back home by 330 am and hardly got sleep for 5 to 6 hours. I get up by 9 to 930 am and so hard gym post that and sleep for around 45 mins in the afternoon. I feel I should get sleep of around 7 to 8 hours in one go. I tried everything right from binural music, to lavender aroma to dark room and even sleeping pills but max I got 6 hours of sleep. Please guide me to improve it 7 or 8 hours

Ans: The best measure of sleep is how you feel after waking up. Every body requires different amount of sleep, depending on their routine, age, and other health conditions. It is important to sleep during the night hours, as the body systems are in sync with nature and movements of the sun & the moon. To conclude, if you are feeling fresh after getting 6 hours of sleep and a nap time during afternoon, it is good enough. In the longer run, you should try to get day hours at work.

Hi Roopashree, I am 46 now. Come back from work around 10 pm in the night everyday. I have my dinner early in the evening around 7. iI try to sleep but struggles for 1-2 hours every day even some time Upto 4 am. Other days I get wake up in the middle if go little early around 11. Please give some advice.

Ans: It's a good that you are eating early, hope you don't snack (not even fruits) after dinner especially during the late night hours. Since you get home at a late hour, I suggest don't go straight to bed, give at least 1-2 hrs. for the body to unwind. You can have a quick bath before going to bed to further relax the mind and body.

Hi sir. I'm a 3rd year BSc Mathematics & Statistics student. After graduating I'm planning on taking a gap year to prepare for some entrance exams. I have a few options -- MSc Operations Research through IIT JAM, MSc Quantitative Economics at ISI and MSc Data Science at CMI. All of them sound interesting so I'm confused as to which path to choose. What should I look for when making my decision? Also could you suggest what activities I should take up during my gap year that will influence my cv positively and not make it look like I spent the entire year just studying.

Ans: Look out for the placements that they provide as well as the course curriculum. It is advisable to work while you prepare for entrance exams but you could do relevant short term courses relevant to your field during this period.

Mai BBA karne ka soch rha hu? bba mai kisme specializ karu samjh nhi aa rha hai.. mai semi school mai padhai hu thik thak padhai hai basic english aati hai... please suggest me ki mere liye konsa aasan hoga aur future mai bhi opportunities hogi?? and best college in Pune for bba ??

Ans: Dear
It seems that you have accepted that you are average or slightly better than average students , hence want to study BBA . Let me suggest BBA will not give you high paying jobs either initially or even in later phase of your career . I suggest my students to complete graduation then go for MBA from any good institution. if you work hard , try for better in entrance exams conducted by various deemed universities, you may land good job . Marketing , Finance , HR , International business studies etc can offer you campus placement opportunities. In Pune Symbiosis is a reputed one, you should try there.

I availed home loan of 27,00,000/- and the outstanding is 21,00,000/- as of now and the remaining EMI is 89 out of 120. How can repay the loan within six years. I am getting 56k in hand and I am a government employee?

Ans: Hello;

You may do a partial withdrawal(10-15 L) from your GPF corpus and use it to repay part of the loan.

As the outstanding loan will reduce so will the EMIs required to repay it.
