Sleeping disorder
-
Where can a person with sleeping disorder find help?
I know most GPs and Psychiatrists can help. But they always prescribe sleeping pills. My friend is having sleeping disorder and at the same time, she is planning for a baby (or might already be pregnant by now). So she cannot take those medication.
Where can she go to have her problem healed without any medication? She is looking for a specialist doctor or hospital. -
for such situations can consider TCM

IF im not wrong.
hypnosis works...

Have she told the GPs of her situation? And let them make other suggestions?
Personally, I feel alternate therapies could be the next better option available? -
Very awake at night, even though she is not doing anything stressful in the evenings. She tried watching DVD, taking nice long bath, having relaxing dinner etc. All didn't work.Originally posted by Devil1976:What sort of sleeping disorder?

TCM? Will it take a long time to heal?Originally posted by FireIce:for such situations can consider TCM -
Other therapies are like aroma... Meditations... Massages, simple stretching exercises, deep relaxation techniques and such... Was she previously like this? Or has it just happened while she suspect she's having pregnancy?Originally posted by Honeybunz:Very awake at night, even though she is not doing anything stressful in the evenings.

Still, it's better to consult her doctor.
She could also try to look out for related newsgroup within the internet if she wants...? But unless what's suggested by the people there online has got quite very strong valid background, it's always good to consult her doctor again or think through carefully before trying something which might be too unique or extreme...? -
Be sure to seek proper guidance if she's going for that... And make known her existing condition(s)....Originally posted by Honeybunz:TCM? Will it take a long time to heal? -
I also wake up 4 times last night...
Fed up... -

Before she planned for a baby, she was seeing doctor after doctor. Every doctor gave her medication, without much counselling. That's why she is wondering where to find doc who will not give her sleeping pills. -
all western docs will prescribe sleeping pills.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Stressed with work.

at most vitamin pills for stress but that's about it
tcm is more wholistic and might be more effective at treating sleeping issues and other things. but your fren must tell the physcian loh. Then again, I think your fren don't want to try tcm lah... -
TCM regulates ur "qi" (breath) and blood.....it's a subtle process and u dun usually expect immediate results.....Originally posted by Honeybunz:TCM? Will it take a long time to heal?
western medicine oni give u pills and jabs for temp relief but does not solve the root of the problem
i go for TCM if im looking for long-term benefits and comfort....
TCM does not necessary mean bitter concoctions or asspensive herbs.....
sometimes just simple herbal tea or acupressure over a period of time works wonders..
i used to have joint pains and saw western doc.....all i got were pain relievers and muscle sprays......once i stop, the pain comes back....i go back to complain and was directed to physio which i din have time and money for......
i went for 2 sessions of therapeutic massage and had a dose of some grind herb drink and it was almost completely healed......
TCM takes care of ur body from within..... as long as ur body is functioning well and healthy, u wun have problems like losing sleep or appetite..... -
It's like that. Things are getting more 'economical' nowadays, and often even doctors can't offer you too long a time for counsultation unless you're paying them by the rate...Originally posted by Honeybunz:Stressed with work.

She should direct her concern upfront and suggest no sleeping pills. And as suggested by the others, there're other methods which may work.. Unless you're able to get your hands on a good doctor. But a general reminder is that like what Fireice has suggested... Other therapies like TCM often takes quite a while to see effects... And no, they're no 'miracle pills'. That means you might need to do some adjustments to your life style to reduce stress and maintain your condition once you've 'remedy' for it...
Another piece of advice is that... If you're in no hurry... It's better to treat your body and life style 1st before you actually go for the baby... Otherwise it might be unwise both for the mother and the baby....? -
Where to buy those aroma thingy?

It could also be her diet during the day.
Maybe a dietician to help? -
I dont really see the logic of this thread.
Sleeping disorder, pregnant?
How to make babies if you are sleeping? Or baby is not coming because parents are not sleeping? Can someone explain this particular issue?
Medication? Doctors issue sleeping pills? Which doctors did you friend see? I really would like to find out how many doctors is flaunting their doctor code to issue sleeping pills indiscriminatly.
For making babies. please. consult a gynae first before you attempt anything.
TCM would also prefer to know that the female patient is confirm pregnant or not before they provide TCM treatments. -
Her diet ah...? hmm.. where to find dietician?Originally posted by viciouskitty74:It could also be her diet during the day.

If she has to take sleeping pills, I assume she cannot sleep? Then can do the horizontal tango all nightOriginally posted by Honeybunz:What tokking you? -
why not go try exercising for once?
i used to be not able to sleep easily, but short or medium length runs or jogs solved that problem for me -
the lady's pregnant... so mild exercises like brisk walking may help..
but try this.. it lowers stress levels.. meditation...
take 20 minutes a day to meditate...
clear out the mind and repeat a phrase over and over.. it may be anything like a short prayer, a mantra or an affirmation like "relax... relax"
it's been proven to work

Certain foods makes you hyper and cannot sleep.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Her diet ah...? hmm.. where to find dietician?
Certain foods, consume at the right time, aids sleep.
here's my best advice w/o a dietician.
Eat small meals, avoid caffeine late in the afternoon. Avoid Bread or heavy meals before 8pm. Drink only warm water or camomile tea with honey after 8. -

She can't sleep at night but how long does she sleep each day? Naps in the afternoon?
Diet is important as well like what viciouskitty74 said.
The thing with TCM is that you've got to be careful whatever they prescribed does not interfere with your pregnancies... Serious consequences...
Here's some advice from an australian website:
