Retired Air Force Service Member From Calcutta Finds Remarkable Relief from Sleeplessness

A retired person, Mr. J.S., aged 58 years (Patient ID: 59516), from the Air Force Administration Department, approached Life Force Homeopathy clinic seeking treatment for his chronic sleeplessness/insomnia. He had been suffering from sleeplessness for 6 years, which had become progressive over the past year. He presented with episodes of sleeplessness occurring 4–5 nights a week. He had difficulty falling asleep, which kept him awake the entire night. However, the next day, he did not feel any weakness, tiredness, or dizziness. After these sleepless nights, he would get sleep for the next 2–3 days, amounting to about 4–5 hours per night. He was not on any medications and had very rarely taken allopathic medicines—only 1–2 times in the last 6 months. 

He was an anxious person and could not manage stress properly. Symptoms appeared to have become somewhat more progressive after he retired from work. He felt lazy and bored sitting at home.

He had been diabetic for the past year and was on conventional anti-diabetic medicines, with stable control. The patient also had issues of sleep apnea and disturbed sleep, and used a CPAP machine very occasionally. He had been regularly taking medicines for hypertension for the past 9 years to maintain stable blood pressure. 

He was a vegetarian with average thirst and appetite. He had normal perspiration and was able to manage both cold and hot climates. His bowels were satisfactory, and there were no urinary issues. He was born and raised in a family setting and had a happy marital life. His son was working in an MNC. 

He was not very communicative by nature, but was mild and slightly anxious in mindset.

He weighed 61 kg, and his blood pressure was noted to be 110/82 mm Hg.

The case was studied and evaluated in detail by Dr. Rajesh Shah, and homeopathic medicines were prescribed. 

Follow-ups:

By 29th Dec 2024, in his first follow-up, he was better overall by 20%. His sleep quality improved, and he was getting sleep 4–5 days a week for 5 hours. 

On 18th March 2025, his sleep quality improved further, and he was able to get sleep for 5 days a week, approximately 6 hours per night.

In his third follow-up dated 24th May 2025, he had improved by 90–100%. He was able to get 6–7 hours of daily sleep with good quality and had no issues. 

He was extremely happy with the results in such a short time of treatment, and he still continues the medicines for sustained relief.

Conclusion:

This case illustrates how well homeopathy works to treat sleeplessness. By addressing unique mental and emotional processes, homeopathy provides a personalized method of treating sleeplessness. In contrast to allopathic sedatives, homeopathic medications promote the body''s innate capacity for sleep without producing unpleasant side effects or developing dependencies.
