Hi,,I am 45 years old and for the last 6-7 months I have been experiencing irregular sleeping patterns at night, significantly discontinuous sleep after 3 hours of deep sleep.I had suspected sleep apnea but that was ruled out by a doctor.I have tried meditation, melatonin and jaiphal but those only aid in sleep arousal and don't contribute much to continued sleep throughout the night..Kindly advice

Ans: Your continuity in sleep is affected because your quality of NREM sleep(Non rapid Eye Movement) is not good enough to give an undisturbed REM(Rapid Eye Movement sleep). Having early dinner before7 pm , experiencing the body as a wholethrough oil massages twice a week, review of the day as stock taking of the days event will help to sustain your sleep

I am 53 years old. from last many years , I am finding difficulty to sleep uninterruptedly which is 3 to 4 hours at a stretch. I sleep around 11pm daily and do not rest during day also. My work routine is not hectic and also not too stressful. Due to this I feel tired and unenthusiastic .Pl guide

Ans: You can try going for a walk after dinner, if you tire yourself physically you might sleep better. Try exercising during the day. Avoid stimulants like coffee after early evening.
This of course is generic advice, ideally you should meet a physician who specialises in sleep.

Health I am 53 years old. from last many years , I am finding difficulty to sleep uninterruptedly which is 3 to 4 hours at a stretch. I sleep around 11pm daily and do not rest during day also. My work routine is not hectic and also not too stressful. Due to this I feel tired and unenthusiastic. I exercise 2/3 times in a week which is not very vigorous and also I have a very light meal at night. Pl guide

Ans: Hi Swapnil,
Excessive exertion also makes it difficult for the body to relax. I suggest you relax for a few hours without digital exposure before going to bed. Have a bath or at least wash your feet, practice deep breathing, meditation for 15-20 minutes before going to bed. This relaxes the mind so you can get deep sleep, unlike going straight to bed after a hectic schedule. You can also try aroma therapy with natural oils to relax the mind.

I am 42 years old and for last 10 months have been getting only 3-4 hours of continuous sleep at night. Then I can't sleep and waste my time trying to and then feel tired the whole day. I can squeeze another 1-2 hours after 2 hours gap if I have alcohol, but don't want to get dependent. I am able to sleep at 10 pm though and have tried calming medicines like ashwagandha as well but hasn't helped much. Please help as it is causing symptoms of depression in me now.

Ans: Sleep depends upon your general lifestyle if you are having a sedentary lifestyle your sleep pattern will be hampered. Erratic sleep pattern could be a symptom of any mental or physical health issues.
You should visit a naturopath or Ayurveda professional for a proper diagnose to identify the cause rather than treating the symptoms.

Ans: To experience the body as a whole through Physical activities, Engaging the mind in dynamic roles are few tips. Balanced nutrition and early dinnerbefore 7 pm are few other tips. Sleep is a process in which rejuvenation of the body happens. Mind has to be silent at that time
