Suggest Medicine To Get Calm And Quiet Sleep

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...



Dear Doctor,

Kindly advise me how to get calm and quiet sleep.

Since, last few years, I could not get such sleep due to tensions. Which type of medicine should I take? I want Indian medicines.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome here.
I would suggest you to follow sleep hygiene first and take medicines if not relieved by this:
Avoid napping during the day.
Avoid stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol too close to bedtime.
A relaxing exercise, like yoga, can be done before bed to help initiate a restful night's sleep.
Food can be disruptive right before sleep. Stay away from large meals close to bedtime.
Ensure adequate exposure to natural light. Light exposure helps maintain a healthy sleep-wake cycle.
Establish a regular relaxing bedtime routine.
Associate your bed with sleep. It's not a good idea to use your bed to watch TV, listen to the radio, or read.

Sleep inducing agents like ativan or zolpidem can be used after a psychiatrist's prescription.
Thanks
