Health

Pradeep Kumar Pune I am 79 years old and I retired about 20 years ago. I am quite active and walk for about 45 minutes in the morning and half an hour in the evening before dinner. I am having the problem in having continuous sleep at night. I wake up at least 3 times during the night and get a disturbed sleep on most nights. Please suggest ways to get better sleep during nights

Ans: - Avoid caffeine after 3pm in the afternoon
- Restrict the afternoon nap to max-20min
- Avoid all kind of screens- 1hr prior to bedtime
- Avoid any stressful conversations at bed time
- Avoid rigorous activity prior to bed time
- reduce water intake post 7pm, so there are less washroom breaks
- Early dinner

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 .Pl guide

Ans: You can try going for a walk after dinner, if you tire yourself physically you might sleep better. Try exercising during the day. Avoid stimulants like coffee after early evening.
This of course is generic advice, ideally you should meet a physician who specialises in sleep.

Question by Hari - Mar 16, 2023Hindi

Health

Good morning Madam..I am 57 years old, working as Deputy General Manager in a PSU (Coal industry). I don't fall into sleep atleast for about 90-120 mins after going to bed. Pretty much disturbed sleep even after that. Not more than 3-4 hours of sleep. No habit of afternoon nap too. Usually hit the bed at around 9.15PM. Dinner completes by about 8.15PM. Strict vegetarian and teetotaler. Rarely eat out. Do pranayama for about 15-20 minutes first thing in morning on empty stomach. What should i do to get sufficient sleep? Hari Narayanan

Ans: Hello Sir, you need to increase the gap between dinner and sleep to a minimum of two hours so that the food is completely digested. As a part of sleep regime - take a stroll outside or even inside the house one hour after dinner for abt 15-30 minutes, depending on your stamina. A good sleep also needs a relaxed mind, therefore, try anulom vilom for 10-15 minutes and 5 minutes of Om chanting before your lie down for sleep. Hope this helps. You can also try half a cup of chamomile tea before hitting the bed.

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.

Still i confused?

Ans: I am quite surprised - "our senior ask to fill the water bottle". Simply deny doing that. Do your work seriously for which you are paid. Give departmental exam for promotion. You can prepare yourself for Indian civil service exam. Do not leave Govt. job.

Career

I am 58 + years old who retired from government service after working for 36 years. I had done M.E mechanical and worked in the marine field. I am a pensioner who is financially sound and with no liabilities. I have a good fitness routine in the morning as well as in the evening , however I find it difficult to pass my time in the day and want to make it meaningful. I am done with my existing skills and keen to learn some totally new concepts and acquire skills specially in areas such as sustainable energy specially green hydrogen, solar , ethanol blending , EV etc. I may like to become a consultant or maybe start my own small venture in future to keep myself busy. I am ready to devote ample time. If nothing works out atleast I would have acquired knowledge in areas which interest me. How do I go about acquiring the new skills.

Ans: The best way to acquire skill is to see NPTEL videos. Its free. If you want certificates then you have to give exam. Cost is very less. Normally professors from IITs teach these courses and you will get certificates from IITs.
