HELLO GARVIT,
From your description- tiredness (worse in evening), disturbed sleep, anxiety, headaches, dizziness, irritability, and “nerve fatigue” - Ayurveda would call this Vata imbalance, sometimes with pitta association
VATA DOSHA controls the nervous system, movement, sleep and thinking When vata is disturbed for a long time (due to stress, irregular sleep, poor diet, overthinking or long illness it leads to -mental fatigue, anxiety, and irritability -disturbed sleep and restlessness -nervous weakness, dizziness, and poor concentration
PITTA INVOLVEMENT adds headaches, irritability, and disturbed sleep
This is not a disease like paralysis but a functional weakness of nerves and mind due to imbalance and low nourishment. Ayurveda calls this state Ojas kshaya (reduced vitality) and Manovaha srotas dushti (imbalance of mind channels)

To address persistent tiredness and nerve fatigue, Ayurveda often focuses on balancing Vata dosha, which is associated with the nervous system. You may benefit from adopting a grounding and calming daily routine. Start with establishing a consistent sleep schedule. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day to regulate your body’s internal clock.
Diet plays a significant role in supporting your nervous system. Incorporate warm, cooked, and nourishing foods into your diet such as soups and stews, and avoid cold and raw foods that may aggravate Vata. Favor whole grains, root vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots, and healthy fats from sources like ghee or olive oil. Adding spices like ginger, cumin, and cinnamon can enhance digestion and improve nutrient absorption, which could alleviate brain fog.
Limit stimulant intake like caffeine, as they can increase restlessness and irritability. Instead, opt for calming herbal teas like chamomile or tulsi, especially in the evening. Adaptogenic herbs such as Ashwagandha may be particularly beneficial for strengthening the nervous system and improving quality of sleep. Consider a morning meditation routine or deep breathing exercises to stabilize your mind and help reduce stress.
To further support mental clarity, practice ‘Abhyanga’ or self-massage with warm sesame or almond oil prior to showering, which can boost circulation and nourish the nervous system.
Exercise is crucial, embrace gentle activities like yoga or walking which promote circulation and help maintain balance in the nervous system without excessive stimulation.
Keep a journal to track your symptoms and any improvements, and consider consulting with a healthcare provider if symptoms persist for tailored advice. If a major lifestyle or symptom change occurs, seek professional care immediately.

To improve your weak nervous system, we need to balance your vata dosha, which is associated with your nervous system. The symptoms you described—tiredness, nerve fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, and irritability—indicate a vata imbalance, often caused by excessive dryness and irregular routines.
Start by establishing a consistent daily schedule. Rise and sleep at the same times, ideally rising by 6:00 AM and retiring by 10:00 PM. A stable routine helps calm vata. Ensure your sleeping environment is comfortable and conducive to rest. This means eliminating distractions and creating a calming pre-bedtime ritual.
Diet is crucial for rebalancing vata. Favor warm, nourishing, and easy-to-digest foods such as cooked grains, soups, and stews. Incorporate spices like ginger, cumin and cinnamon to boost your agni. Avoid cold, stale, or raw foods that can aggravate vata. Hydrate well with warm water or herbal teas like ashwagandha or brahmi, known for their nervine properties.
Abhyanga, a daily self-massage with warm sesame oil, can help soothe the nervous system by grounding vata. Gently massage the oil onto your body before bathing, focusing on your joints and scalp.
Breathing exercises such as alternate nostril breathing can help calm your mind and improve concentration. Practice it regularly, preferably in the morning or when you need to focus.
Monitor your screen and work time, taking regular breaks to relax and stretch. Keep stresses manageable using mindfulness or meditation practices, which can further support mental clarity and focus.
If these measures do not bring significant improvement or your condition worsens, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized evaluation. Balancing vata with patience and persistence will gradually bring relief and restore vitality to your nervous system.
