Good sleep is foundational to Ayurvedic wellbeing. Much of the advice overlaps with modern sleep hygiene, framed through a calming evening routine that settles an overactive Vata.
Wind down with a rhythm
A consistent bedtime, dimmer light in the evening, and a screen-free wind-down help signal the body toward rest.
Warm and grounding
A warm bath or warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg, and gentle self-massage (abhyanga) with warm oil, are traditional grounding practices.
Keep it educational
Chronic insomnia or loud snoring with daytime sleepiness can signal a treatable condition — see a clinician. These tips are general education, not medical advice.
