Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 39 years old married man, my problem is I do not get proper sleep in the night and due to this, my whole day is not good. While sleeping I get dreams as if I am awake the entire night, and when I get up in the morning, I feel that I have not slept the entire night. I have body aches, and I do not feel like talking to anyone. I am facing this problem from years. Earlier, I used to take some sleeping pills, but that also does not work many times. If I get a night's sleep, then I am fresh and active. I am very short tempered. I have been to a psychiatrist also, and he gave me some medicines, but that also did not work. My family doctor has prescribed me Zapiz 0.25, but that also not to be taken daily. So whenever I feel I will not sleep, I take it. I have been taking half tablet continuously from the last month, and I feel better. Should I continue taking it? I have a desktop job, so I do not work out at all. Recently, I started doing some swimming, and I feel good. But even then I am not getting good sleep. Please help me. Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

For a sound sleep, you need to make a strict sleep schedule, which includes fixed time to get into bed and fixed time for waking up in the morning. Besides this include the following: Add regular workout in your routine, healthy eating and drinking habits are also necessary, avoid caffeine or tea in the evening., avoid heavy meals at night, avoid using the bedroom for works other than sleeping, avoid sleeping during daytime. Yes, you can take Zapiz (Clonazepam) 0.25 mg but not for long, as this medication has abuse potential and can make you habitual of it. Thank you.
