Why Hindi matters for insomnia
In Hindi, sleeplessness is described in many ways: neend nahi aati, raat bhar karwatein badalna, or waking at three and not falling back asleep. It is often shrugged off as part of a busy life, a result of too much tea or a worry that will pass with time. Many people reach for a sleeping medicine from a friend or a chemist before anyone asks why they cannot sleep. A Hindi-speaking psychiatrist can explore the worries, routines and moods behind the sleeplessness, and explain CBT for insomnia in a way you can apply the same night.
What a first consultation in Hindi looks like
A first consultation for insomnia is a sleep history: when you go to bed, how long you take to fall asleep, how often you wake, what you do in bed and how you feel by day. Your psychiatrist asks about phone use, shift work, tea, alcohol, pain, mood and anxiety, and about any sleeping medicines you already use. You can speak in Hindi and mix in English. The plan usually begins with changes to routine and thinking about sleep, with medicine kept for specific needs and for a limited time.
Before your first Hindi consultation
For a week before the call, jot down the time you went to bed, roughly when you fell asleep, how often you woke and when you got up. Note your tea or coffee, alcohol, screen use and any medicines you take for sleep. Keep the list near you during the call. Do not start or stop any medicine on your own beforehand.
What online care for insomnia involves
Care for insomnia starts with a sleep history: when you go to bed, how long you take to fall asleep, how often you wake, what you do in bed and how you feel by day. Your psychiatrist checks for causes such as anxiety, depression, pain, alcohol, caffeine or a medicine side effect. The first-line treatment is cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which retrains sleep habits and thoughts about sleep. Sleeping medicines, where used, are kept to short courses with a plan to stop.
Psychiatrist or psychologist for insomnia?
A psychiatrist can assess sleep alongside mood, anxiety and medicines, and can lead CBT-I. A psychologist trained in CBT-I can also lead it. Start with a psychiatrist if sleeplessness comes with low mood, anxiety, substance use or other medicines. Read how psychiatrists, psychologists and counsellors differ. Psychiatrists prescribe; psychologists provide therapy and do not prescribe.

Common questions
Is CBT for insomnia better than sleeping medicines?
For long-standing insomnia, guidelines recommend CBT for insomnia first, because its benefits last after treatment ends. Sleep medicines may help in the short term, and your psychiatrist will advise on their place.
I take a sleeping medicine every night. Can I stop it?
Do not stop suddenly on your own, as that can make sleep worse. Your psychiatrist can plan a gradual reduction alongside other sleep treatment.
How is this different from ordinary tiredness?
Insomnia means difficulty falling or staying asleep, three or more nights a week for a while, with effects on the day. Tiredness without trouble sleeping has other possible causes that a doctor can look at.
