Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, Dr. Rynne. Thank you for willing to answer my questions. In the last couple years, I can only sleep 4 or five hours during the night and feel tired in the morning. But the 4-5 hours sleep is normally of good quality. Then I have to take two short naps --30 minutes or more-during the day to make up the lost sleep during the night. This interferes seriously with my life style during the day. I am 80 years old. Does my age have anything to do with the change of sleep pattern? Is there anything I can do to lengthen the sleep period at night? Does excercise helps? What time of the day should I excercise? Another symptom I should mention is that I get up three times at night to go to the bathroom to empty my bladder. That also interferes with the quality of sleep. I appreciate it very much if you can enlighten me on these concerns. These symptoms bother me emmensely. Thank you very much.
