Sleeping Problems

Sleep is one of the most important functions of the body and one of the earliest to get disturbed in any psychiatric or any physical issues.

Not having a restful sleep, for days together, leads to many physical and psychiatric problems.

The quality of your sleep at night has a direct effect on the way your body functions the following day. Having irregular sleep patterns can leave you feeling irritable, short-tempered and anxious.

Similarly, when you are sleep deprived your body goes into survival mode and this can affect the way you manage stress and can also cause you to develop hypertension/ diabetes/ lowered immunity.

To ensure that your body has time to recover and heal overnight, the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep should be an integral part of your overall wellbeing.

Many people search for sleeping problem treatments near them and eventually end up taking sleeping pills over the counter or as prescribed by a local doctor. These can be highly addictive and dangerous.

Whether you are looking for sleeping problems treatment in Mumbai, or sleeping problem treatment in Vashi, sleep disorders can be of various types. They are treated with medicines appropriate for that particular sleep disorder. Medicines are given for a short course and correcting measures and lifestyle modifications are advised.
