Hello Dr. Kokil Mathur, Thank u very much for the reply. I do suffer from insomnia from time to time,but not like chronic,a few days in a month. But as you have recommended,will get myself checked by a doctor. Does this problem need psychotherapy? Because my insurance doesnt cover it? it says as i quote "Insured with the exception of psychotherapy,
psychoanalysis and respective
measures". Kindly let me know sir. Many many thanks for the help... :-)

What you suffer from is probably narcolepsy, which is a neurological disorder. This is thought to be caused by low protein called hypocretin, which is made in the brain. The symptoms are an urge to sleep especially after meals. Sleep studies and EEG are done to rule out other causes of poor sleep and insomnia. Eating light and frequent meals during the day helps. Also assigning a nap time during the day often helps. You can take a light meal before this. At times some ante depressants are prescribed to control the symptoms. Do consult your doctor and get a referral for a sleep specialist and a neurologist. Other possibilities are pancreatic insulinomas causing a surge of insulin production after meals, hypoglycemia and an urge to sleep. In women it can also be due to PCOD. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
