How To Get A Sound Sleep Without Thinking Anything?

Hi, I am a student at 20 years of age and I find it really hard to sleep at night, I could be absolutely exhausted, but my mind just wanders thinking of redecorating and diff things. The last few days I have been feeling sick at night, and in the morning, but not actually getting sick. after a while i feel fine, but then it happens again that night. I wouldnt say I have the best diet, i cant stand vegetables and most days my main meal would be around 10pm at night when I get home from work. any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Hello young fellow,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

From your narration you seems to be in some stress. Night meal at 10 pm after work, thinking more at night suggestive of you may have some personal,work or other stress.
Your mood is also not good at night and after waking up.Your diet is also not proper.
You need to consult psychiatrist for your problem evaluation and treatment.
Sleep problems (Insomnia)are of two types:
Primary in which no physical or psychological disturbance and treatment can be done with drugs from benzodiazepiens group like lorazepam,clonazepam, and zolpidem.
Secondary in which sleep disturbance due to some physical and/or psychological problems and treatment for underlying problem is needed.

Before you go to doctor, you can try following measures for good sleep which may help you a lot, as it has shown good response in my many patients.

Exercises like walk or slow run. At least 45 minutes exercise per day.
Do not use your bad for any other activity except sleep.
Take a shower before going to bad.
A warm cup of milk before 15 minutes going to bad will help you a lot.
Do not sleep in daytime.

Hope I have answered your query
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki
