Hello Namit I’m really sorry you’re having such a tough time with sleep and low energy. I understand how frustrating and exhausting this can be. What you can try in the meantime: - Keep a regular sleep schedule (go to bed and wake up at the same time every day). - Avoid screens (phone, TV, computer) at least 30 minutes before bed. - Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, gentle stretching, or listening to calming music. - Avoid caffeine and heavy meals in the evening.
Rx- Divya Medha Vati - one tablet at night if still not get proper sleep you can go for 2 tablets ( No prescription required for this )
Thank you
Hello Namit ,
Please visit a physician in person . Please dont take any tablets for this without proper evaluation. Please don’t ignore your health status.
Consult your physician ASAP
When facing sleep problems, especially if it’s been a persistent issue for seven days, it’s crucial first to consider some foundational strategies before jumping to medications. Reducing overtaking, which I assume might be anxiety or excess thoughts, can sometimes be managed with non-drug approaches. Try establishing a consistent sleep schedule and make your sleep environment as comfortable as possible. Limit screen time at least an hour before bed and avoid caffeine and heavy meals late in the evening. If you’re consuming stimulants, reduce or eliminate their intake. Practicing relaxation techniques like mindfulness or light yoga might also be beneficial. Over-the-counter options like melatonin can sometimes help with regulating sleep without a prescription, but it’s important to take it about 30-90 minutes before your desired sleep time and not to rely on it long-term.
However, if these measures don’t help or if your problem is deeply affecting your daily functioning, it’s time to consider speaking to a healthcare professional to discuss your symptoms. They can assess if medications like benzodiazepines or non-benzodiazepine sleeping pills (e.g., zolpidem) are appropriate based on your specific condition, but these are generally for short-term use due to the risk of dependency. If your sleep issues are related to mood or anxiety disorders, antidepressants like trazodone are sometimes used off-label to aid sleep. Avoid alcohol or other sedatives as they can disrupt sleep patterns despite possibly making you drowsy initially. Remember, the underlying cause might require addressing to avoid dependence on medications. If there’s significant distress or impairment, please see a doctor promptly to prevent prolonged issues and ensure you’re not missing a health condition that needs attention. Prioritizing a medical evaluation could provide more tailored treatment options and help safely manage your sleep concerns.
