Sleep & Rest
Ayurveda calls sleep one of the three pillars of life (along with diet and balanced living). Most modern sleep problems are vata imbalances, and Ayurveda offers a layered toolkit — bedtime routine, food timing, herbal supports, and abhyanga — to repair them without sleep medication.
Questions on sleep & rest
Sleep & Rest
Can Ayurveda help with insomnia?
Yes — most modern insomnia is a Vata imbalance of the nervous system, and Ayurveda's grounding protocol (consistent sleep time, evening abhyanga, warm dinner, screen-free wind-down, and Vata-pacifying herbs) often resolves it without sleep medication.
Sleep & RestWhat time should I go to bed according to Ayurveda?
Ayurveda recommends being asleep by 10pm. The 10pm–2am window is when the body does its deepest physical repair (Pitta time at night), and missing it forces the body to take that work from less restorative hours.
