Ancient Roots of Modern Sleep Science

Sleep is not merely the absence of wakefulness. In Ayurveda, Nidra (sleep) is considered one of the three pillars of life, essential for physical repair, mental processing, and spiritual alignment.

Today, our circadian rhythms are disrupted by blue light, late-night snacking, and endless stimulation. Returning to ancient sleep hygiene practices—such as oiling the feet with warm sesame oil before bed and drinking golden milk—can dramatically shift the quality of your rest.
