As per my clinical experience, associated low grade underlying depression may be part of sleep cycle disorder. Guidelines for better sleep pattern would be: - Increase time devoted to meditation - Deep breathing exercises - YOGA - Avoidance of smoking, alcohol if using - Avoid stress and anxiety - Addition of melatonin in drug basket - Control of blood sugar, blood pressure - Avoid obesity
