Sleeping problem and Low Sleep
I have sleeping problem, I sleep at 5 Am and wake up at 9 Am. I want to get sleep on time please help.
Hi there,
A detailed history is always needed to come to a diagnosis and management accordingly.
It’s not clear by your 2 liners, for how long you have this pattern of sleep?Sleep disorders can be primary sleep disorders or the secondary sleep disorders.As the name suggests, secondary means secondary to a mental disorders, medical, drugs intake etc or primary which are not secondary.
Next Steps
There is a need to go for some tests like Polsomnography and other medical tests to be done.
Detailed history and mental status examination are needed.
However “Sleep hygiene “ should also be maintained. Don’t take Stimulants like tea and coffee preferably about 3-4 hrs prior to sleep, Take meals before 2hrs of sleep time.
Go to bed only when sleepy.
Go for Yoga relaxation exercises.
Regular exercises.
Relaxing sounds at bed time etc
