Ans: It’s normal to feel sleepy after practicing Anulom Vilom, especially when you're new to it. Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and balance energy in the body. This can make you feel relaxed, which sometimes leads to drowsiness, especially if you're already tired or stressed.

Here are some tips to avoid feeling sleepy:

Practice in the morning: You’ll feel more energized if you do Anulom Vilom when you're fresh.
Maintain an upright posture: Sit with your spine straight to stay alert.
Increase the pace: Initially, try slightly faster breathing to keep energy levels up, then gradually slow down.
Engage your mind: Focus on your breath or mentally chant “Om” to stay present and avoid drowsiness.
Balance your routine: Make sure you're not overly tired before starting. If you're fatigued, even gentle practices can lead to sleepiness.
As your body gets used to it, you’ll find it easier to stay alert and refreshed after your practice.
