What causes daytime sleepiness?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 27-year-old male. For the last six months, I have been suffering from poor quality of sleep. I am not able to wake up early in the morning whether I go to bed early or late. My body feels heavy and lazy. I also have muscle aches, especially the muscles of my palms and feet. Low energy, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and laziness are the symptoms that are present every day. I am here to understand this and get treated for the same.

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your problems are related to increased pitta (pitham). Increased pitham is due to late time sleep, less sleep, disturbed sleep, over workload, physical stress, mental stress, constantly thinking about sex, increased sexual activity, excess spicy food, roaming under sunlight, wearing tight woolen or jeans dresses, etc. Following are the Siddha herbal remedies you can follow.

Arakku thailam (Kombarakku, sesame oil, sandalwood) or Kulir thamarai thailam (Kamala, Tila taila, Kachora) buy any of these oil. Apply to the head and whole body in the morning, andtake a bath after one hour of application of the oil. Take a bath until your eyes become cool and a drop of urine passes.
Nannari legium (Hemidesmus indicus, Nymphaea stellata, Cuminum cyminum) one spoon four times in a day.
Nannari manapagu (Hemidesmus indicus, sugar, water) - Mix 2 tsp of this in a cup of water and drink. This should be used instead of drinking water for the whole day.
Whenever you want to eat snacks, you should eat dry grapes. Avoid other snakes prepared in oil.

Use more cumin and coriander seeds in cooking. You can take tender coconut water, grape juice, and orange. Think only of your nostril opening and just observe the air coming in and out through the nostril. Do not think of others and forget office work while entering home. If you follow this advice, then you will be alright. You can continue other allopathy drugs and no need to stop them.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
