Hello Dr. I am 43 and suffering from sleep issues since 3-4 years, i am on high BP (Amlopidine 5 mg Telmastartin , hypothyroid, cholesterol and uric acid medicines. Have tried various Ayurveda and Herbal treatment but nothing worked, i do get sleep but its not deep sleep and next day i feel little drowsy and light heavy headedness. Kindly advise

Ans: You can try to improve your sleep hygeine - i.e
Try to go to sleep and wake up at the sametime everyday — even on weekends and holidays.
Avoid consuming caffeine at least 6 hrs before bedtime. .
Make your sleeping environment comfortable.
One hour before bedtime, stop doing work or other mentally-challenging tasks.
Use your bed only for sleep or intimacy.
If you are stressed , relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation before bedtime might help.
Regular exercise, a balnaced diet and adequate fluid intake might help.
Can try taking melatonin 3 mg 1 hr before bed time.
If these measures don't work , you should consult a sleep specialist

Health

Hi Dr I am 40 year old female, am not able to sleep properly. Till 2 years back sleep was normal.. now I sleep only by around 1-1.30 that too with lot of difficulty.. even though if I go to bed at 10.. I am facing hair loss and due to less sleep having frequent headaches and I have to resort to paracetamol for relief from headache.. Pls suggest what has to be done, which specialty to consult is there any alternative solutions I am totally disturbed Regards Supriya

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!

Question by Swapnil - Mar 16, 2023Hindi

Health

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.

Question by BISWAJIT - Jun 26, 2023Hindi

Money

Sir , i am 57yrs old. within 1 yr i am retired. So pls guide me , how i invest 30 laks in swp system and how many return from here . Also request you suggest the mf name where i invest.

Ans: You can invest 30 Lac as lumpsum in conservative hybrid(debt oriented) fund. Based on 5 year return yardstick Kotak hybrid debt fund and SBI Conservative hybrid fund are the 2 recommendations.

It will be better if you stay invested in this fund for 5 year and let the corpus grow. After 5 years you can expect a corpus of around 50 Lacs(10%+ return assumed)

Then you can start your SWP at the rate of say 5% per year which will translate into monthly payout of around 21K.

However if you need immediate pension then you can invest in PO monthly income scheme(7.4% rate;5yr tenure) upto 9 L in your name and another 9 L in the name of your spouse or other family member. It is a safe scheme since backed by GOI. For the balance 12 L you can do 3 FDs of 4 L each in reputed banks.

*Investments in mutual funds are subject to market risks. Please read all scheme related documents carefully before investing

Ans: If your employer has not made the statutory EPF contributions then you can file a legal case.

For wrong DOE, joint declaration form is the right way, if the employer is not co-operating then you can talk to EPF officials about the same with documentary evidence. They may consider it, else you can file online grievance through EPFO grievance management system.

Hi sir Our child joined computer engineering in NIAMT Ranchi. Is there need certificate courses? If yes which courses preferable?pls advise.

Ans: Manohar Sir, Additional skills/certifications are mandatory to be competitive in the job market. Most Recruiters/Companies recognize one of the best & most affordable online certification programs offered by NPTEL. Suggest your son to go through the site to get an idea. Their video lectures are free. You will have to pay only the Exam Fee which will be conducted offline. He can join those certification courses, recommended by his College Faculties. There are other Online Certification Platforms but comparatively, it will be costlier. Advise him to have a Professional LinkedIn Profile and keep updating it every 3 months. Also to put job alerts in LinkedIn, related to his domain, to know the current/changing job market trends. He can start doing online certifications after his 1st semester. No hurry Sir now. All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future, Sir.

sir, i am in class 12th (pcb) rn and i am preparing for NEET but i don't have that much interest in it. I have interest in forensic science and i want to pursue it. i am ready to give any exam that i can for good college. I also want a good job with good money after everything (college...etc). I am a decent student, more than average i can say. But we have some financial problem for college only (personal family matter) so i am rely on scholarship. please guide me what should i do and how?........Thank you very much

Ans: You should prepare and appear for CUET for getting admission into UG Forensic Science with any one of the State / Central Universities providing this course. You should be aware that economically weak girls are eligible for scholarships provided by Govt. which you can apply for, after getting confirmed admission into any UG program (but should have been approved by AICTE). Also please note, your family income should be less than 8.00 lacs to be eligible for Scholarships. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.
