Multiple case analysis of sleep problems claims that nearly 20% of people in India, aged 50 or above suffer from a sleep disorder. However, in this generation, young people are more likely to be pointed as sleep-deprived. There are multiple reasons for sleep deprivation: work, indoor and outdoor chores, taking care of infants, stress and worry, late-night parties, or late-night television binging are just a few of them. Anyway, whatever the reason for sleep loss is, several research reports have shown that sleep deprivation takes a toll on sleep-deprived persons both mentally and physically. Moreover, recent research has said that chronic lack of sound sleep can cause high blood pressure (might lead to Heart attacks), contribute to some major issues with diabetes, obesity and may lead to brain strokes. So, in today’s blog, let a renowned ENT specialist in Kolkata disclose the 6 easy tips to treat your sleep disorder at home.

6 effective tips to get relief from a sleep disorder:

1. Set a proper sleep-wake routine. Fix a time when you will go to your bed and wake up from your good night’s sleep. Try maintaining these times every day so that you get habituated to that cycle. As a result, you will automatically feel sleepy when your clock will creep at that particular time.
2. Avoid intaking caffeine, tea, alcohol, and nicotine four to six hours before your bedtime. Drinking alcohol, coffee, or tea interrupts having a good deep sleep at night and leaves you sleep-deprived throughout the whole night.
3. Avoid doing strenuous physical exercise within two hours of your bedtime. Rather, exercising five or six hours before your fixed bedtime may help you sleep more soundly and uninterruptedly.
4. Doctors who treat sleep disorder opines that a person should always have a light meal to get a good and consistent sleep at night. So, avoid eating large and heavy meals within two hours of bedtime. Heavy meals often lead people to indigestion and as a result, they remain sleep-deprived at night.
5. Having a deep sleep in the afternoon is another major reason for experiencing sleep disorder (at night). So, doctors suggest not to have sleep after 3 p.m. to have a good nap at night.
6. For a peaceful sleep, the perfect atmosphere is very much important. So, sleep-deprived people are highly recommended to sleep in a dark and quiet room with a comfortable room temperature.

However, if consistently applying these tips does not work effectively, do not delay seeing your health care professional or the best Sleep Specialist in Kolkata and discussing your sleep problems. Because it is important to make sure that your sleep problems are not caused due to any serious physical illness.
