My son is 10 years old and he is restless and is not able to sleep at night and frequently visits the washroom most of the times in the night, how can I help him so he gets better and he sleeps peacefully?

Ans: By 10, the child should sleep through the night without having to pass urine. See that he drinks no fluids from 1 hour before bedtime. For example, if he sleeps by 10, last fluid intake should be before 9 pm. This means no milk either. He need to pass urine at 9 pm and then again at 10 pm, i.e.1 hour before and at bedtime.
Also, no screen time for 2 hours before bedtime.
If , in spite of these measures, he still needs to pass urine after sleeping, then he needs a urine test and a check up.

My son is 16 years old and seems to have these issues with sleep patterns. He can barely sleep especially prior to exam dates. How can I help him resolve this so he can sleep peacefully?

Ans: One common reason for sleep issues and anxiety amongst teenagers is excessive digital exposure - be it for gaming or studies. We have to introduce the youngsters to meditation techniques to relax their mind. These are extremely useful not just for issues such as - anxiety, sleeping disorders but also improves concentration.
Since their diet patterns have also changed, the preservatives and artificial food enhancers further contribute to increased stress and anxiety levels. While they should avoid over eating on junk food/ outside food, you can also give them naturopathy detox once every 2 two months.

3) Warm A2 cow ghee and put 1-2 drops in your nostrils before sleeping
4) If you can learn some pranayama from a yoga teacher it could help

My daughter has got CSE core at VIT Chennai, however she has a cutoff of 196 and has scored 491 in her CBSE board exams. We are trying for SSN merit management quota. If given a seat there, which one would you suggest for her better future Thank you in advance

Ans: Hi Shanthini Madam,

Congratulations on behalf of Rediff Gurus! I would like to know which category she got admission into at VIT and which course she is considering at SSN. Without this information, I cannot make a suggestion.

However, I encourage you to review the syllabus, labs, faculty, and future prospects at both institutions. Once you compare these two options, you will be better positioned to draw a conclusion. As someone who guides people directly, I prefer not to give specific suggestions. If I do, I would risk becoming more of a commission agent than a counselor.
