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.

Question by Hari - Mar 16, 2023Hindi

Health

Good morning Madam..I am 57 years old, working as Deputy General Manager in a PSU (Coal industry). I don't fall into sleep atleast for about 90-120 mins after going to bed. Pretty much disturbed sleep even after that. Not more than 3-4 hours of sleep. No habit of afternoon nap too. Usually hit the bed at around 9.15PM. Dinner completes by about 8.15PM. Strict vegetarian and teetotaler. Rarely eat out. Do pranayama for about 15-20 minutes first thing in morning on empty stomach. What should i do to get sufficient sleep? Hari Narayanan

Ans: Hello Sir, you need to increase the gap between dinner and sleep to a minimum of two hours so that the food is completely digested. As a part of sleep regime - take a stroll outside or even inside the house one hour after dinner for abt 15-30 minutes, depending on your stamina. A good sleep also needs a relaxed mind, therefore, try anulom vilom for 10-15 minutes and 5 minutes of Om chanting before your lie down for sleep. Hope this helps. You can also try half a cup of chamomile tea before hitting the bed.

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.

My daughter is doing her BSc Honours in Physics from Delhi University. She is an ace student but due to sickness, she got backlogs in 3 subjects in 5th semester. Shes devastated and gone into depression as this is the first time ever she's has got F grade in her academic life. Will she get admission in Msc Physics? In India or abroad?? Recently DU has sent letters to her college stating that there could be 80% chance of 4th year added for BSc Honours. Will this help. Also, will her whole 1 year waste as if the 4th year extension is not added then she will hv to give exam on coming December to clear the backlogs wid juniors. Will all this affect her admission in pg? Will she get admission in abroad universities??

Ans: Failure is part of life and it is important to face failures else you cannot cope up with failures when it comes. Having backlogs is not a big thing. If she cannot give her backlog now but has to wait for next year then she can think of doing her 4th year in the college and simultaneously clear her backlog. But if she can clear her backlog and get admission to MSc then she can not do her 4th year and instead try get admission to post graduate course.

Should I go for an online MBA or should I go for some coding course to secure my career further. I'm confused.

If you are interested in MBA then can go ahead and do an MBA. But try and do it from a good college else you will face problem in placements.
