I am 64 and working with the results my acidity shoots up then i get sleep . At times uptill 1 am I am awake. My family Doctor had advice me to take Alprax 0.25 mg which I take as and when needed then i tried by cutting down the same to half tablet. which worked. moment I take this tab it works and I get sleep but I dont want to make a habit. as it may have a side effect . Kindly advice as to how to over come this issue. Mt Bp is normal in the range of 135 / 80 my sugar is also normal fasting it is 90 /95 after it 95/100. i go for my walks twice a week . say around 4 to 5 kms. kindly advice what should i do to over come this issue .

Ans: To have a sound sleep, one need to have used the body and mind in a fulfilling way. Balanced nutrition, early dinner by 6 pm, no animal protein at dinner time and good physical exercise are few tips
