Sleep related

I have not been getting proper restive sleep at night for quite sometime. In the mornings when I get up I am mentally tired & not fresh and physically tired also. This is even after I sleep for 8 hours also. I have noted that my mind(subconscious or unconscious) is continuously active at night.(whether it is due to dreams or imagination I am not sure) which is why the tiredness. Kindly advise. I have tried taking restyl 0.5 at night on my doctors advise but it has not helped.

There should be a reason for every behaviour. You may not be able to identify it , because you would HV thought it as a trivial issue.

For a better understanding do consult a psychologist.

Sleeplessness is a symptom and not a disorder in itself. It is important to find the underlying cause, so that it can appropriately and effectively addressed. Most common cause of sleep problem is psychological stress, anxiety or depression which often reduces deep sleep resulting in daytime lethargy, lack of motivation, irritability, reduced concentration etc. It is important to rule out any underlying physical health condition affecting sleep or substance use or erratic sleep pattern, lifestyle issues and sometimes associated problems like snoring or sleep talking or sleep walking. Start with good sleep hygiene techniques and lifestyle modifications. Read my blog on sleep on www.mindcarebangalore.com for full details. Schedule fixed time for sleep, get regular exercise including yoga and meditation, no naps during day, may be a a glass of warm milk at night, no use of back-lit gadgets once ready to sleep, address any underlying physical or psychological or stress issues, keep away from smoking or alcohol etc and eat healthy and light at night etc. Stop your restyl and consult a psychiatrist for a time limited use of relatively non addictive hypnotic, only if necessary. Best wishes
