We need to be investigating into why you are not having adequate sleep
Can be excess work , anxiety , frequent urination in the night , thyroid diseases etc
Check serum thyroid levels
Take bath in hot water before going to bed

**To the Patient:**
Your difficulty sleeping despite a hectic schedule is likely due to **stress-induced insomnia**, which can lead to fatigue and reduced daily functioning. Here’s a structured approach to improve your sleep:
Actionable Steps:**
1. **Sleep Hygiene:
- Maintain a **fixed sleep schedule** (even on weekends).
- Avoid screens (TV/phone) **1 hour before bed**—blue light disrupts melatonin.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing and keep your bedroom cool/dark.
2. *Relaxation Techniques:*
- Drink **warm milk/herbal tea (chamomile)** before bed.
- Practice **deep breathing or mindfulness** to calm an overactive mind.
3. Lifestyle Adjustments:
- Limit caffeine after noon and avoid heavy dinners close to bedtime.
- Incorporate **10–15 minutes of light stretching/yoga** in the evening.
4. When to Seek Help:
- If symptoms persist >2 weeks, consult to rule out **anxiety, hormonal imbalances, or sleep disorders** (e.g., insomnia).
Personalized Care:
For a tailored plan—including stress management or short-term sleep aids—schedule a consultation.
