Losing sleep for so long must be terribly draining and frustrating. I can imagine how difficult it can be especially when nothing seems to work. Often, sleep disturbances in Ayurveda are seen as an imbalance of the Vat dosha – it's the dosha connected to movement and nervous system activities. When it's agitated, sleep can become elusive. Modern Ayurveda and classical texts alike suggest some approaches that might help. Let's break it down. First, looking at your routine, are you perhaps exposed to bright screens or stimulants (like caffeine) before bed? It's a big one often overlooked. Try easing into sleep by dimming lights and engaging in calming activities—maybe some light reading or listening to soft music. Ayurvedic herbs such as Ashwagandha, Brahmi, and Jatamansi are famed for their calming properties. You could try 1 tsp of Brahmi powder with warm milk before bed. Another thing is using sesame oil – a warm oil massage on your head or feet can help soothe Vat imbalances. Food? Key player here. Avoid eating late or heavy, spicy dishes at night as they can disturb your Agni (digestive fire) and in turn affect sleep. Light meals before 7 pm with cooked veggies and grains is better. Meditation and Pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) daily could also be of great help to calm down mind. It’s all about creating a conducive environment for your nervous system to relax. Remember, these are natural approaches and it’s always good to keep in touch with your healthcare provider to ensure everything is aligned with your current treatment plan. If anything feels off or overwhelming, please reach out to them. Balancing sleep is a journey, sometimes it takes some patience and tinkering before finding what works best for your unique needs. Curious to know if any specific techniques have had any noticeable effect for you before?
