What Is The Treatment For Insomnia When Suffering From High BP?

Brief Answer: Retrain your sleep cycle... Detailed Answer: Hi, Body follows a certain circadian rhythm. This rhythm allows a person to go to bed/sleep and wake up at particular period of time. I suggest my patients to retrain the body to follow this circadian rhythm and get over sleep problems instead of using medications or supportive drugs. Some tips that will allow your body to retrain are: 1. Make a habit to hit the bed at a fixed period of time. Off course, it is important that you have a light dinner a couple of hours before sleep (if you are at home for dinner). 2. Make sure your sleeping environment is comfortable. Adjusting light and sound as per your preference would help. Most individuals prefer dim or no light and no sound. 3. Avoid late night works. Do not take your laptop to work. 4. Choose the right mattress which is comfortable to you. Most people prefer firm mattress. Avoid too many pillows. 5. Choose the right temperature. Avoid too hot or too cold. A warm temperature is preferred. Besides these measures a high proteins diet is preferable at night. I recommend my patients to use whole grain wheat, soya, egg, meat and milk at night time. Some of the aminoacids in these proteins have sleep inducing properties. If these remedies don't helps, the next step is a visit to a psychiatrist. Supplements such as melatonin or low dose sedatives can be used to start the circadian rhythm. These supplements and drugs are better taken under strict doctor governance. Hope this helps.
