Suggest Treatment For Sleeping Difficulty
Question: Hello Doctor,
Hope you are the right speciality for my concern. Off late, I have been struggling to get quality sleep. there is no particular tension or thoughts that I am carrying. I reach home at 11pm in the night and try to get in bed around 11:45pm. Sometimes I immediately fall asleep and then wake up in the next 15-20 minutes. Then I struggle to fall asleep till around 3pm. I again wake up at around 7pm due to the noise with kids getting ready for school. This is happening since last 2 months. What should I do to get quality sleep.
Regards,
XXXX

Hello Doctor,
Thanks for your prompt reply. I am an IT professional and I do exercise daily. I will try to follow the regime you told me.
Hope this is nothing serious or a sleeping disorder. I become very conscious of any kind of noise and wake up immediately.
