I was a medical rep. no routine suits.Work till 12 midnight.Added to it Sales target pressure.Eat at 1PM. Next day morning 5 Am you have to rush to outstation work.Company is Glaxo.How do you Manage? sales meetings prolong till 2 Am next day(Midnight)from 9 Am previous day.No sleep.How do you Manage? Shouting by the manager.How to Manage?
I always follow this..... I useually fall into sleep within 5-10 min lying on the bed, sometimes i too face problem specially if have any important job pending to something I'm waiting for.... I just read a book lying on bed, it works for me
My regular sleep duration is 6-7 hours which suffice. There are occasions when I am not able to sleep. I count slowly,very slowly, from 100 to 0 backwards. Till date I've never been able to reach zero. I fall asleep midway. It works for me. May or maynot work for others.
Since ages I have been sleeping only 5 hours in a day during night after a hard day's work pressure. Even if I go earlyto bed, exactly after 5 hours automatically, my eyes will open and afterwards no sleep. Iam running 56 years old.I have tried many ways as suggested by someone that milk before bed, walking,exercise, pranayama, etc. In this age also I am a regular walker and doing so since last 30 years. If possible, suggest a remedy whether my sleeping time(hours) can be increased or the same 5 hours till the end. Thanks

If u are comfortable with 5 hours without a problem ... It is good. No need to worry about that. Feel happy that you are seen the world more hours than others of your age.
I do suffer from insomnia, but whenever I try these those days I sleep well... 1. Following the same routine, going to bed at 9.30, waking up at 6.30AM no matter what. Even if you dont sleep 1 or 2 days, from 3rd day you will sleep well. Even If you sleep well, wake up at the same time :-) 2. 1/2 an hour walk or exercise in the gym, doing it in the eve is better. May be from 6 - 6.30PM 3. 15min Pranayam or meditation, inhaling and exhaling with rhythm 4. Around 9.00PM, if I read some book, recently I started reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse :-), after a page or two, I felt so sleepy.. 5. To control your thoughts all the above things help nicely, esp the workout is the best medicine to clear your thoughts.
