Ayurveda and Sleep

Vata mind/body types often have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

Their minds are active, imaginative, and restless and may be hard to quiet down at night. Kapha mind/body types need a lot of sleep or they become groggy and ineffective.

Ayurveda recommends that everyone keep a regular bedtime and morning routine. Bedtime should be at the same time each night, preferably at 10:00 P.M. The hours before bed should be spent with quiet activity, Yoga, and meditation. You should awaken at dawn, between 6:00 and 8:00 A.M., and proceed with your daily rituals.

Vata Tea (containing the herbs licorice, ginger, cardamon and cinnamon) is calming and aids in a good night’s sleep.

A warm sesame oil massage followed by a warm bath or shower is also very relaxing and will help get you to sleep. There are three different kinds, each associated with a dosha. Moisturizing is for Vata, Cooling is for Pitta, Energizing is for Kapha
