I can only sleep 4-5 hours , what is the proper recipe to stay asleep and when should i see a doctor in person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proper sleep hygiene: in short: minimize caffeine after 2pm, no electronics 1hour before bedtime,go to bed only when sleepy, UT HAVE A CONSISTENT wake up time (regardless how late you sleep), bright light early in the morning, NO NAPS, minimize stress(duh!!...easier said than done!!!) by learning relaxation techniques. Sleeping affects everything, see your doc if the above doesn't help or if there are other issues...
