Insomnia after 3 hours

Hello
My Mum (78) wakes after about 3 hours and can’t get back to sleep. She says she has too many thoughts, head too busy and in particular she’s been unable to sleep due to thinking about people who have passed away. She feels the heat, so I’ll only sleeping with a bedsheet on and fan on even in winter. She has deep dark circles under eyes, puffy bags and is exhausted. It’s been like this for many many years, always being a poor sleeper but it’s worse now than ever. She had Breast C 2 years ago with radiation treatment. She is of heavy status but not terribly overweight, carrying weight around her middle more than anything. She cannot sleep during the day, is a light sleeper at night hearing the smallest sounds, can’t handle any light in the room. She doesn’t drink, has weak black tea in the morning to lunch time but nothing but water after that. She has a sensitive stomach suffering diarrhoea often from the smallest thing she eats. I have sent her some info on homoeopathics for sleep and she says coffea sounded a bit like her. Would you suggest this or something different for her to try? She’s tried melatonin but it only helps to get to sleep but still wakes after about 3 hours always around midnight-2am
Thanks

Hello, my mum was on Nux Vom 30 but it made little difference over the week, the first day yes she slept better but since then, not much difference unfortunately.

Would you suggest she try a different remedy?

Thanks so much

She also has a leaky bladder, sneezing, coughing are big issues and she is up a few times in the night to the toilet. She would love some help with this as its quite a problem and her mother had the same issue and I think I have the same thing starting to happen for me (not up at night with it but cant jump and sometimes on coughing or sneezing can be a problem for me.

Thanks again

NOCTURIA IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AT THIS AGE.TRY WHAT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED BY SAJID.

Thnx Anuj, i suggested these remedies due to following symptoms,

Coffea Cruda
This remedy addresses
insomnia, restlessness, and a
racing mind, which are prominent
symptoms in your mothers case.
Coffea is known for its ability to
calm the mind and promote
relaxation.
Message
Pulsatilla
This remedy targets sleep
disturbances, sensitivity to light
and noise, and digestive issues
like diarrhea. Pulsatilla is often
used for insomnia cases where
the individual wakes up frequently
and has difficulty falling back asleep.

I was relying on the cell salts.Not sure if administered.FP is a hypnotic remedy for people who have sleeplessness.

Hello Anuj
I hadn’t managed to try my mum on cell salts yet, just didn’t have any handy but can get them this week.
Thank you to both of you for your kind advice, I’ll get both remedies and try it for her. Very grateful.

Hello
My mum has been on Coffee and Pulsatilla as directed, except that she got 200c of Coffee and not 30c. She has said sleep-wise, its not made much difference, shes still awake around midnight/1am after only 3 hours sleep. She has said that her bladder is slightly better though, which is great. Still problematic but not as bad somehow.

She has been taking the cell salts as directed.

Should she try a different remedy or should she get Coffea 30c and try that with the Pulsatilla 30c.


Thanks so much for your kind help. I really appreciate your advice.

Hi there
Thank you for the last remedy change. Mum had been on Ars Alb 30c as directed and KP tissue salts for 1 week as if tomorrow. She had said that she has more control with her bladder which she is thrilled about, not having as many accidents and able to not need the toilet as often which is wonderful. Her sleep is still no different, she is sleeping from 9pm to about midnight then unable to get back to sleep.

Is there anything else she could try?
Thanks so much.

I just thought I’d add that I think Mum is quite Nat Mur or Aurum -like as she’s suffered from depression in the past for a long time over grief and withdraws a lot from social situations. Not sure if that helps with anything but I was reading up on both and she has that sort of personality sometimes. It may be no help for her symptoms now but I thought I’d let you know in case if helps to get an idea of what she’s like. She can be quite serious and isolated.

Yes you can give her nat mur 30, twice a day for 3 days, along with other medicine.
 
drsajid 7 months ago
Sorry I’m a little confused, should I give her Nat Mur 30 INSTEAD of ars alb 30c and coffea 200c or should I just add it to those? Her sleep has not improved although her bladder has and she’s been on them a week now. Is there a different remedy for sleep that you suggest or different potency?
Thanks so much

Hello Dr Sajid

My Mum has been on Nat Mur 30c for nearly one week, and continued with the Ars Alb 30c and Kali Phos 6x pills as advised. Her bladder issue remains the same as last time I wrote to you, so its improved compared to before any remedies but it hasnt improved since last week if you know what I mean? Shes still got more control over her bladder but its still an issue.

Her sleep hasnt improved much, shes told me tonight that if she goes to bed around 9pm then shes still waking around 3am. If she doesnt get to sleep until midnight-2am because shes thinking and worrying too much, then she wakes around 5am. Shes been worried about high blood pressure and cholesterol this last week a lot as her readings were high (possibly due to my Dad with his ear blocking problems and intolerable raging about it that yourself or Dr Anuj are kindling helping with). She is often (daily) at the brunt of his verbal aggression so shes around a not nice environment if hes tantrumming. This possibly leads to her feeling worried and under attack from his bad mood. Its been going on like this for a very long time. Im not sure if that helps with remedies for her but feel its worth mentioning? She has said that she cant sleep because shes thinking too much, cant rest her mind.

Should she try coffee 30c instead as she has only tried the coffea 200c or a different remedy?
Shes still on Kali Phos 6x pills and Ars Alb 30.

Thanks a million!

Hello Dr Sajid

My mum has now been on Staph 200c for 5 days which she has stopped now. I just thought I should let you know that she has had a terrible stomach for a couple of days, explosive diarrhoea. There is no change in her sleep as yet, still waking after 3 hours or so. Should she continue on Coffee 30c once before bed or try something different?

What is interesting is that she has had a stye on and off under her right eye and it had just started to reappear last week so when I told her that we are trying Staphisagria now, it made perfect sense to me as I believe thats also helpful for that sort of thing also? Perfect.

thanks so much

Hello Dr Anuj or Dr Sajid

I was wondering if my mum needs to change remedies as Coffea 30c before bed doesnt seem to be helping. Sorry to be a bother.

Thanks

Both in 200c, 1 dose in evening daily for 3 days and update
