Experiencing insomnia, restless nights, or waking up feeling tired even after a long night's sleep?

Have you noticed how sleep issues often come and go with stress, overstimulation, or irregular routines?

From Ayurveda, we know sleep disturbances aren’t random or something to override with quick fixes.

Nidra, or rest, is one of the four pillars of health. It's essential for balanced agni (digestion), the development of ojas (immunity or zest for life) and a calm, clear mind. When sleep is disturbed, the doshas become aggravated, especially vata, and true restoration through digestion cannot occur.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
• Why sound, restful sleep is a sign of true health
• The most common sleep disturbances and their root causes in Ayurveda
• How overstimulation, digestion, and daily routines impact sleep quality
• Why sleeping pills and over-the-counter aids don’t resolve the root cause
• Simple, natural practices to restore deep, nourishing sleep and resilience
