Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

1. What are some health issues or lifestyle habits that can cause someone to be a light sleeper, or wake up often during the night? Please explain.

2. Is it a body's way of trying to say something? And is it possible to overcome?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

We must delve more into light sleeping and its aspects. Some sleep lighter than others and wake up easily for mild sounds or disturbances. Some need a particular ambiance to get proper sleep. It might well be our body's way of telling us that something is wrong somewhere.

It may also be due to stress and tiredness. Erratic (irregular) dietary and sleep habits can contribute to the problem. Sedentary lifestyle and spending long hours in front of the computer can worsen the same.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
