Ayurveda for Better Sleep: Embracing Restful Nights Naturally
Good sleep is the foundation of health, energy, and mental clarity. Yet, in today’s fast-paced world, stress, irregular routines, and excessive screen time have made sleep problems increasingly common. Ayurveda offers gentle, natural ways to restore balance and improve sleep quality by aligning with the body’s rhythms.
Ayurvedic View on Sleep (Nidra)
In Ayurveda, sleep (Nidra) is considered one of the three pillars of health (along with diet and lifestyle). Imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas often lead to restlessness, insomnia, or disturbed sleep. Restoring balance through proper habits, diet, and herbs can promote deep, restorative sleep.
