Hi Dr , I am 44 yr old male. For last few days,I am getting up at early morning around 345 or 4 AM with heavy sweating. After that I am unable to sleep because of my own sweat odor emanating from the clothes. Changing the clothes also puts me in active state and then unable to sleep. Total duration of sleep is only 5.5-6 hrs. Please suggest whom i can consult? All my blood works are normal.

Ans: Hello Supriya,
This could be stress/hormonal related which is affecting your sleep and hair. Please consult a good naturopath or a nutritionist. You need to first do a set of blood tests which will tell us about your vitamin D3/estrogen/B12 levels etc. Accordingly the diet needs to be modified. Lack of Vit D3 also gives sleep issues.
Also a good night routine can help like penning down thoughts to reduce incomplete cycles, writing down things you are grateful for, salt water bath, using some aroma oils like Lavendar, sipping on chamomile tea.
When our mind has less incomplete thoughts we are more peaceful and the parasympathetic nervous system gets activated. This helps us to get sound sleep immediately.
Yoga can also make a huge difference especially certain pranayamas and asanas done at night.
All the best!
