Citing a research, the hospital’s director Dr Tanuja Nesri said that on an average out of every 100 people, 40 suffer from some kind of sleep problem. Some have one sleep related problem while others have multiple problems. She informed that a polysomnography machine has been installed in the hospital. This is a level one machine. The trial run has just started. The patient is admitted and connected to the machine and the patient’s sleep pattern is checked throughout the night. Every activity of the patient is monitored with a night vision camera and the machine also records a video of the patient’s sleep.

Understand how the machine works
In this, the patient’s oxygen level, breathing speed, heart rate during sleep, amount of oxygen in the blood and every breath are recorded. The expert and the doctor study the patient throughout the night, on the basis of which diagnosis of the patient’s disease becomes possible. The doctor claims that the machine has been installed for the first time in any Ayurveda center. While the charge for sleep study test in private is 15 to 20 thousand, sleep study will be done at a much cheaper rate in this center. he/she said that on an average the patient is examined at night, but some patients have the habit of staying awake at night and sleeping during the day, such patients are examined during the day.

ayurvedic treatment also
The doctor said that once the disease is diagnosed, its treatment is possible. We also have Ayurvedic treatment, in which Ashwagandha, Shankhpushpi and Brahmi can be used, but it depends on the condition of the patient. The doctor said that usually people do not come directly with sleep problems, they come for treatment of other diseases. It is found out in that that the patient also has a sleep problem, which is wrong. If there is a sleep problem, then definitely get treatment. There is treatment for people of all ages. It is possible to bring it to normal sleep pattern through treatment. Doctor Nesri said that in the next few days, treatment of common patients will be started with this.
