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: 3.45 am is, a good time to be awake
May be there are a lot of sensory overload during the day that is getting addressed in the REM sleep
REM is, high in the morning hours. So check your sensory diet during the day

Hi Roopashree. I'm 42, male. I have two major issues. 1. I sweat a lot, means really a lot. Though I don't have any blood pressure issues and sweat is also without any odour but I really don't like it since I'm unable to enjoy many outings due to this sweat issue. 2. My job profile involves lots of traveling and outside food. Due to this, I have this issue of going to the washroom at least 2-3 times a day. Especially in the morning, just after having breakfast, I feel the urge to go to the washroom. Regards, Rajneesh
Ans:

As I have said in my earlier column, sweating is a good phenomenon as it releases toxins from your body and allows your skin to breathe.

Since you don’t have any other issues, you can visit an Ayurveda practitioner to check if there is any Pitta imbalance. 

Other triggers could be stress or anxiety, therefore regular exercises and pranayams like Anulom Vilom are advisable.

Regarding your travel diet, some simple steps like the ones given below can ensure you don’t end up eating a lot of outside food.

Even if you are out for two-three days, try carrying at least one day’s meal with you.

Also, nuts are a good option to have with you for munching.

Lastly, opt for fresh fruits and veggies (not pre-cut) or a pack of curd. Be mindful, avoid spicy and fried food.
