Dear Dr. Karthiyayani, I am 44 yrs old and have been on medication (thyroxine 50mcg) for hypothyroidism since 2016. For abt 1.5 years from 2021, I had skipped taking Thyroxine in early morning and by late 2022 I was having severe sleep problems. When I did my Thyroid profile test in early 2023, I found that my TSH was elevated (~17) and my doctor increased my dosage to 100 mcg. Since then I have been taking 100mcg or 50mcg regularly but never got relief with Insomnia. My latest TSH is at ~10.5 and iam presently on 100mcg thyroxine. Please clarify if my insomnia is related to elevated TSH and other lifestyle/dietary modifications that I need to undertake to restore normalcy in sleep, thyroid issues etc.

Ans: Thyroid hormone lifts matter to energy
If it is, low, heaviness of matter builds up in the physical.
Sleep is when we leave this physical world to another dimension.
The physical heaviness includes includes mental stress too. Mind is matter too. So if there is physical heaviness which cannot be lifted up by Thyroid beyond a certain point, it gives up and get exhausted. So
The most important things are
1.Regularly take the medicines which is like a supplement
2.Manage your inner conflict and stress so the thyroid is not exhausted and possibility to sleep happens
I lifestyle management have early dinner by 6 pm
