Dear Patient,
Your symptoms suggest chronic disturbed sleep/insomnia, often related to stress, anxiety, irregular sleep schedule, or screen exposure.
Maintain fixed sleep timing, avoid caffeine late evening, and reduce phone use before bed.
If this is continuing for months, it deserves proper evaluation.
Online consultation can help assess sleep pattern, stress factors, and guide treatment safely.

Sleep is like a reset button for our mind and body. So when your sleep is disturbed, your productivity, mood, personal life or social life everything gets disturbed. If it has been several months, it's chronic insomnia which needs to be properly evaluated and treated. How is your mood these days? Are you feeling lethargic and low? Please consult so we can plan appropriate treatment whether it be medication or counselling or therapy (your choice) for you.
You can contact me directly on WhatsApp (nine eight two six five four five six six zero).
