Ayurvedic Sleep Tips From Patanjali's Founder Offer Natural Insomnia Relief

A good night's sleep is important for feeling fresh and energetic.

A man named Acharya Balkrishnaji, who helps run a company called Patanjali Ayurved, shared tips to help people sleep better.

He follows an old Indian way of staying healthy called Ayurveda.

He says trouble sleeping happens when the body's energy, called Vata Dosha, is out of balance.

Many people in India do not sleep enough — over 61% of Indians get less than six hours of sleep.

His advice includes turning off the lights, waking up early, and humming a calming song or watching your breath if you cannot sleep.

He warns against working too hard and suggests a warm oil massage if you are exhausted.

Herbs such as ashwagandha and nutmeg can calm your body and help you fall asleep.

He also says to stop looking at screens an hour or two before bed and eat your last meal earlier.

Patanjali sells products, like gummies and herbal tablets, that he says help people sleep well.
