This question i am asking for my wife who is 46 years old. We are in Ras al khaimah, UAE. She is facing issues with sleep. She is a house wife and our kids are grown up with only 2 daughters with us. Eldest daughter is doing her final year MBBS and second daughter completed her 12th and presently doing online coaching for NEET 2023. Youngest daughter is in 10th standard. She does all house hold chores herself. We follow strictly routine of 9.30 pm going to bed and get up at 5 am in the morning. She gets sleep by 12 or 1 pm and always get sleep deprived. She doesnt do any noon nap etc too. Kindly suggest how she can get over this issue. We are strictly vegetarian and since from south india loves coffee but limit to 1 only at around 10 or 10.30 am only.

Ans: Engaging her physical, emotional and mental faculties, working them out will help her
Physical exercices, emotional expressions through art, and actively engaging the mind in creative activities will bring in balance and help for restful sleep.
It is always the quality and not the quality of sleep that matters. If your wife is happy and active with that 4-5 hrs of sleep, then it's ok

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.

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.
