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.
I would love to work with you on ensuring you get the good night sleep you need and deserve.
Night, Night...sleep tight!
