Brief Answer:
2 hours rest during day will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Having a 7 hours sleep is good enough rest but if possible then she can plan a 2 hour rest during the after noon also after lunch. This will provide her an extra relief and she will feel fresh. She can try to lie in a left lateral position for an extra relief.
Travelling just for 20 minutes on a plain road is not worrisome. While sitting on a chair it is better to use a foot rest so that her legs do not swell up. She can have a hot shower or soak her feet in XXXXXXX warm water at night before going to bed. Having a glass of warm milk at night will also help.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
