A 45-year-old female came to us with a chief complaint of sleeplessness since past twelve years.

She said that her problems started after the delivery of her second child. Since then she has been suffering from Sleeplessness. She added that she was scared to be dependent on Allopathic medications for sleep and hence she never started with any sleeping pills.

She had difficulty in sleeping especially until 2am. She used to be wide-awake and would toss and turn to get sleep.

After 2 am, whatever sleep she got, used to be very disturbed and even slightest noise used to disturb her sleep.

Detailed case taking revealed that she was timid and shy as a person. She was extremely sensitive to her surroundings and used to get affected very easily over small matters.

She was very emotional and wept easily. She was better by sympathy and craved for constant love and affection from her husband and children.

Based upon her characteristic symptoms, she was prescribed the Homoeopathic remedy Pulsatilla.

After two weeks of medications, she said that the quality of sleep in the second half of night was better by 50%, although she still had difficulty in falling asleep until 2 am.

After six months of regular medications and follow-ups, she was feeling much better. She used to sleep for six to eight hours with ease.
