Chronic insomnia can be managed effectively with a combination of Ayurvedic remedies, lifestyle modifications, and relaxation techniques
As you are already taking sleeping pills you may develop dependency on the pills for sleep so it's better to switch to ayurvedic medicine as earlier as possible
It is advised to take following medicines
1. Manas Mitra vatakam 2 tablets crush and mix with warm milk take at bed time
2. Brahmi ghritham 1 tsp followed by warmwater before going to bed
Lifestyle Modifications
1. Follow a Fixed Sleep Routine: Sleep and wake up at the same time daily.
2. Avoid Stimulants: Reduce caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol intake, especially in the evening.
3. Limit Screen Time: Avoid blue light exposure 1-2 hours before bedtime.
Dietary Adjustments:
1. Have a light, warm dinner by 7-8 PM.
2. Drink Golden Milk (Turmeric + Nutmeg + Warm Milk) at night.
Relaxation Techniques
1. Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Massage your feet and scalp with warm Brahmi or ksheerbala oil before bed.
2. Shirodhara (Oil Dripping Therapy): A professional Ayurvedic therapy that calms the nervous system.
More tips enhancing your sleep quality
1. Yoga & Pranayama:
Practice Bhramari & Anulom Vilom to relax the nervous system.
2. Try Shavasana before bed.
3. Meditation: Practice Yoga Nidra or guided meditation before sleep.
4. Journaling: Write down worries or thoughts to clear your mind.
5.Aromatherapy: Use lavender, sandalwood, or chamomile essential oils in a diffuser.

Hi Shagufta,
Can you tell me if you experience any stress or anxiety before bed, and how your bedtime routine looks?
Also, do you feel tired during the day or have trouble staying awake? Natural supplements like Ashwagandha, Brahmi, or Valerian root could help, but creating a calming bedtime routine, limiting screen time, and managing stress will also support better sleep.
