Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 28-year-old female. I have been struggling to obtain a good night's sleep, and it is starting to influence my daily functioning and overall well-being. I would like to learn more about the importance of sleep and discover practical ways to improve sleep quality. Could you explain why sleep is so important for our health? How does sleep affect our physical, mental, and emotional well-being? What are the possible outcomes of persistent sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality? What are some recommended evening habits or practices to help the body relax and prepare for sleep? Are there relaxing practices, such as mindfulness or meditation, that can help you fall asleep more easily?
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and would like to guide you in your query.
Sleep is extremely important to our health. It stabilizes our body in every aspect, both physically and psychologically. Quality sleep helps in reducing chronic comorbidities like hypertension, dyslipidemia, and even sugar levels. It gives adequate rest to our brain cells and other vital organs, which helps the organs perform at their optimum level. It even helps regulate body defense and immune response; getting good-quality sleep is important to us.
I suggest the following steps to help you achieve it:
Daily aerobic exercise.
Sleep and wake up early in the morning.
Avoid using electrical gadgets at night.
Turn down the lights in your room.
Hear peaceful music to help you relax.
Avoid acidic and fatty foods during dinner.
Drink plenty of water before going to bed.
Avoid needless chats before bedtime.
I hope this information will help you.
Kindly revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
