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

My wife is 58 years old . she snores a lot. what is the solution please.

Ans: Snorning could be related to a number of physical and other issues. It could be also linked to Obesity and overweight and other factors.
It would be a great starting point to visit a physician and get detailed work up done. The respiratory medicine or sleep medicine experts are other group of specialists who can guide the process.

How will be rt mssu b tech it instead of any government college of engineering

Ans: Choosing between RT-MSSU's B.Tech in IT and a government engineering college involves weighing factors like career prospects, placement statistics, and the nature of the curriculum.

Career

I have been allotted computer engineering in thapar university. How is the branch.. What difference is there between coe and cse. Are there any placement differences?

Ans: Good. While "COE" and "CSE" can sometimes be used interchangeably to refer to computer engineering and computer science, respectively, they represent distinct fields of study. CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) generally focuses on the theoretical aspects of computing, algorithms, and software development, while COE (Computer Engineering) emphasizes the hardware and software interaction of computer systems. Don't think of placement much. Study properly. Leave this servant oriented mindset and try to be a entrepreneur. This ghost of placements are injected the brain of children by the sad, bad and mad society.
