Support for Sound Sleep

No matter the time of year, establishing a daily routine is vital to sound sleep. 
 
Check out the check list below and fold in some or all of the actions into your daily routine to assure you a good night's sleep.

During the Day

  • Establish a daily routine and stick to it

  • Focus on sweet, bitter, astringent foods

  • Vigorous exercise only during Kapha time of day (6:00 – 10:00 am)

  • Biggest meal at Noon

At Night

  • Early evening meditation (10-15 mins)

  • Dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime

  • Pranayama – Bhramari

  • Chandra namaskar

  • Legs up the wall

  • Take a hot bath

  • Massage the feet and scalp with warm oil (leave on over night)

  • Karna purana (ear oiling)

  • Keep the bedroom on the cool side, dim, and dark

  • Journal to clear your mind of daily dilemmas and emotions

  • Shut down all stimulation 1 hr before bed

  • No reading or electronic devices in bed

  • Go to bed when ready to surrender to sleep (don't want to equate the bedroom with stress and dis-ease)

  • Unable to sleep: get up and make a to-do list to clear what is on your mind.  Then get back between the sheets (no T.V. or devices)

Schedule a Daily Dynamic consult.
