Sleeping 7 hours but waking up tired? Stress hormones keep the brain in “alert mode” through the night, and poor sleep then worsens pain, mood and immunity the next day. Our psychologists and wellness team at C.A.R.E. Dehradun treat sleep as a core pillar of recovery — not a luxury.
Break the stress–sleeplessness cycle
- Wind-down routine: dim lights, no screens and light stretching 60 minutes before bed — the same protocol we teach in rehab wards.
- Daytime discharge: physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and yoga burn off the physical tension that fuels night-time restlessness.
- Thought parking: write tomorrow’s worries on paper before bed so the mind gets permission to switch off.
When poor sleep needs professional help
If sleeplessness lasts more than 3 weeks, comes with morning headaches, daytime drowsiness or low mood, ask for help early. Our counselling, relaxation training and wellness therapies restore healthy sleep in weeks — and better sleep speeds up every other recovery, from back pain to post-stroke rehab.
