How to sleep throughout the night - #20374

Mavis adu

I usually wake up by 1:30am after going to bed at 10pm. I mostly find it difficult to sleep again. It started about two weeks ago. I don't feel tired or sleepy during the day time. Am a female at 42 years with three children and widow whose husband passed away on 18th April, 2022. I am a Ghanaian living in Ghana. Thank you

Dr. Prashant Kumar
I’m Dr. Prashant Kumar, a multi-specialty Ayurvedic doctor with over four years of experience in holistic and integrative healthcare. After earning my Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS), I deepened my expertise through focused study in several specialties, including Panchakarma therapy, herbal pharmacology, sexual health, cosmetology, general medicine, and dietetics. My clinical practice blends time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom with modern therapeutic approaches to offer personalized, results-driven care. My clinic is designed as a peaceful, healing space — a reflection of my belief that recovery begins in a calm, nurturing environment. I start each day with yoga and meditation, practices that help me stay grounded and attentive to every patient I see. I believe that effective treatment must go beyond physical symptoms, so my consultations involve a comprehensive assessment of emotional, mental, and lifestyle factors that influence health. I take a multi-disciplinary approach, often working closely with nutritionists, yoga practitioners, and wellness experts to build customized treatment plans. These may include herbal formulations, detox therapies like Panchakarma, dietary guidance, and lifestyle modifications tailored to each patient’s constitution or dosha. My work has helped patients manage and often reverse chronic conditions such as arthritis, gastrointestinal imbalances, skin disorders, metabolic issues, and stress-induced ailments. I’m deeply committed to educating my patients—not just about their current condition, but about how to maintain balance and long-term health through Ayurvedic principles. What sets my practice apart is my empathetic, patient-first approach. I’ve built strong, lasting relationships within the community, and I frequently conduct workshops on preventive care, Ayurvedic nutrition, seasonal wellness routines, and stress management. To me, Ayurveda is more than a profession—it’s a lifelong journey of growth, healing, and connection. My goal is to empower every patient to take charge of their health through awareness, discipline, and natural care.

The challenge of waking up in the middle of the night is something many face, yet it's reassuring to know that Ayurveda offers methods to help improve your sleep patterns. It's noticeable that you're currently facing a disturbed sleep cycle which might be influenced by recent changes or stress factors in your life. Beginning with your dosha, it's often seen that Vata imbalance can lead to irregular sleeping patterns, given its air and space qualities, causing restlessness. To pacify it, anchoring your evening routine is key. Engage in soothing activities before bedtime—reading a light book or taking a warm bath can gradually calm the mind. You might try drinking warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom which helps in grounding and relaxing Vata dosha, potentially aiding in better sleep. On the diet front, consuming nourishing, warm meals for dinner, such as a simple moong dal soup or cooked vegetables with ghee, is advantageous. Avoid cold, raw foods or stimulants like caffeine or nicotine in the evening as they can exacerbate Vata. Additionally, implementing a daily self-massage with warm sesame oil, known as Abhyanga, can have a profoundly calming effect—reducing anxiety and naturally inducing a state of relaxation. Creating a consistent sleep schedule can also regulate your body's internal clock. If you retire at 10pm, ensure the environment is conducive to sleep—dim lights, silence, and a comfortable setting. Techniques like Pranayama or gentle breathing exercises before sleep can further assist in reducing mental clutter. While it seems you're able to function well during the day, it's important to keep tracking these patterns. Should the disruption become more prevalent or impacting your wellbeing, do consult a local Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare professional to explore personalized solutions. This advice, although practical and attainable, is best complemented with an expert's guidance, especially considering life’s recent emotional changes.
