thanks Anu , do daily affirmations before sleeping work? i.e giving a command to brain to make me wake up early ? will it work?

Ans: The key to good sleep is a peaceful mind and calm stomach. Therefore, eat at least 2 hours before sleep, practice Vajrasana after dinner, followed by light walk. Before sleeping practice Shavasana and Yog Nidra for a deep and peaceful sleep. Also practice anulom vilom and deep breathing for 5-10 minutes.

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Please do your blood reports especially for Vit D3 and Vit b12 and let me know.
At times low vitamin levels can cause drowsiness.
Please walk for 15 minutes post all your meals and splash water on your face.
This can help reduce the drowsiness.
All the best!

Ans: Yoga Nidra and specific yoga poses can be very helpful in overcoming insomnia. These practices relax your body and mind, preparing you for restful sleep.

Yoga Nidra: This is a guided relaxation practice where you lie down in Savasana (Corpse Pose) and follow instructions to relax each part of your body. It calms your nervous system and reduces mental chatter, making it easier to fall asleep. You can practice Yoga Nidra before bed for 15-20 minutes.

Relaxing Yoga Poses:

Child’s Pose (Balasana): This pose soothes your mind and relieves tension.
Legs-Up-The-Wall Pose (Viparita Karani): Place your legs against a wall and rest. It calms your mind and improves blood circulation.
Supine Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana): Lie on your back and twist your knees to one side. This helps release tension from your back and relaxes your body.
Deep Breathing: Practice slow breathing or alternate nostril breathing (Anulom Vilom) before sleeping. This reduces anxiety and prepares your body for rest.

To learn Yoga Nidra and poses correctly, consult a yoga coach. Their guidance ensures safe and effective practice tailored to your needs.

Ans: Dear Sumukh,
When you can attach a strong enough reason/goal that depends on your waking up early, it's likely to become a habit over a period of time.

All the best!
