Health Queries

I am having difficulty sleeping at night, but can easily fall asleep during the day. What medications or sleep aids can help me manage this sleeping problem?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

It sounds like your body's internal clock is out of sync. To help reset it, over-the-counter melatonin can be highly effective when taken a few hours before your desired bedtime. Short-term options like diphenhydramine can also help, but should not be used long-term. Before relying on medications, I highly recommend improving sleep hygiene: avoid daytime naps, limit evening blue light, and get bright morning sunlight. If these adjustments do not help, a doctor can prescribe options like ramelteon or evaluate you for circadian rhythm issues. Please consult a healthcare provider to find the safest approach for you.

She has been complaining of sleeplessness for a month.?Nothing more to complain about.?Which medication is the best to use in this situation?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

Sleeplessness for a month is likely insomnia, and the best medicine depends on the cause, so it should not be chosen without a doctor?s advice. Doctors usually prefer starting with lifestyle changes and, if needed, short-term low-dose medicines like melatonin or mild sleep aids rather than strong sleeping tablets. Avoid self-medicating regularly, as it can lead to dependence. It?s best to consult a doctor to identify the cause and get a safe, appropriate treatment plan.

Patient is?unable to fall asleep without?sleeping tablets.?Currently, doctors are giving her IV metrindazole, NS-9%, and ciprofloxacin, but no improvement is observed. They are now recommending an MRI, rest tests, such as EACH, and normal blood pressure. Please advise what should be done.

If the patient cannot sleep without tablets and is not improving despite antibiotics like Metronidazole and Ciprofloxacin, it suggests the problem may not be just infection but could be related to the brain, nerves, or severe insomnia or anxiety. The doctors advising MRI and other tests (like EEG) is appropriate to rule out neurological causes. If needed, a neurologist or psychiatrist consultation may help identify the exact cause and provide proper treatment.

I struggle with insomnia.I've had sleeplessness for the past five months.What we do

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

Long-term sleeplessness like this may be due to insomnia often linked with stress, anxiety, or poor sleep habits. Try maintaining a fixed sleep schedule, avoid mobile/laptop use at least 1 hour before bed, limit caffeine (tea/coffee) in the evening, and create a calm, dark sleeping environment. Gentle exercise and relaxation techniques like deep breathing can help. Avoid taking sleeping pills on your own; if the problem continues, consult a doctor who may suggest safe short-term treatment or evaluate underlying causes.

For the past 29 hours, I have been unable to fall asleep. How should I proceed? This is the first time it has happened to me.

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Pharm-D (Post baccalaureate)

Being unable to sleep for 29 hours for the first time is usually a temporary episode related to stress, anxiety, or disturbance in routine rather than chronic insomnia. Don?t panic; try to relax your body by avoiding screens, drinking a warm beverage, even resting with your eyes closed helps. If you still cannot sleep after another night or develop symptoms like palpitations or severe anxiety, consult a doctor for proper guidance.
