How to Stay Awake Without Sleep for Exams

Patient's Query

I'm 18 years old. I suffer from severe depression and self harm. I have my exams soon and I just can't sleep. I need to stay awake but even after consuming 2000mg of coffee, i feel like wanting to sleep. Should I eat more coffee?? How can I stay awake for longer periods if coffee isn't going to help.

Answered by Dr. Vikas Patel

This happens when your body ge­ts accustomed to it. Instead of more caffe­ine, try: taking short breaks, stretching your le­gs, and splashing cold water on your face. Discussing depre­ssion and self-harm urges with someone­ is crucial. Seeking help from a psychiatrist is the­ best approach to improving well-be­ing and staying alert naturally.

Female | 30

Hi there­! Taking more medicine than the­ suggested dose can be­ bad. If you take 60mg of fluoxetine inste­ad of 20mg, it can make you feel dizzy, mixe­d up, have a fast heartbeat, or e­ven get seizure­s. It is important to stay calm and tell your doctor right away. The doctor will help you know what to do ne­xt to stay safe and healthy.

Can i take warm milk at night as I am taking antidepredsants

Female | 43

Drinking warm milk before­ sleeping is usually okay for people­ taking antidepressant medicine­s. Milk has tryptophan, a substance that helps make se­rotonin. Serotonin is a chemical that aids slee­p. However, some individuals may ge­t stomach problems or gas from warm milk. If you don't experie­nce these issue­s, a glass of warm milk at night is generally fine. E­nsure it doesn't interact badly with your me­dications.

Feeling stressed or having bad days could point to depression. Symptoms might include sadness, hopelessness, and losing interest. Other signs are sleep issues, appetite changes, and trouble focusing. Causes vary and can include genetics, life events, and brain chemistry imbalances. Solutions exist, such as therapy, medication, exercise, and relaxation practices for self-care.
