INSOMNIA
Table of ContentsAre you prone to a problem with 'Insomnia'? Find your imbalances and create a diet for your Mind Stress Sleep by taking the free mind stress sleep quiz: AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON INSOMNIAWe've all experienced restless, sleepless nights. Some of these nights were due to stress. Others, due to hot summer nights without air conditioning. Sleep is essential for performance. It improves memory, reaction time, brain function, and emotional well being. It improves productivity and reduces accidents. Healthy sleep ensures you are refreshed and ready for tomorrow. It greatly improves health outcomes, and reduces heart attacks. Insomnia is the chronic inability to fall asleep. Insomnia occurs when the nervous system is overstimulated for one reason or another. This may be caused by
Healthy SleepHealthy sleep ideally includes 8 hours of sleep from 10pm-6am. But sleep needs and cycles vary by person, and also age. On average, a person goes through 4-6 sleep cycles per night. The beginning of the night is spent in deep NON-REM sleep (stage 3). Sleep later in the night includes more REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.Dreams occur during REM sleep. During the time, the brain is abstracting information from experiences during the day. REM sleep is essential for health.
Neurochemistry of SleepMelatonin is a hormone that regulates alertness levels and our circadian rhythms, including sleep. It is produced by the pineal gland. The production and release of melatonin is heavily influenced by blue light exposure.Around 9pm, the pineal gland begins producing melatonin, which prepares your body for sleep. Melatonin remains high until around 4am, when it starts to decrease. Melatonin is lowest at sunrise, helping your body wake up. Melatonin remains low throughout the day. Many foods and herbs, such as cherries, are high in melatonin. Cortisol rhythms also play a significant role in the sleep wake cycle, and can interfere with melatonin production. Cortisol is also known as the stress hormone, and high levels of it can increase feelings of anxiety and disrupt sleep. Cortisol normally peaks a half hour after waking. High levels of cortisol around bedtime, and an early morning rise in cortisol can interrupt a good night's sleep. Finally, GABA is a neurotransmitter that inhibits the nervous system, helping to induce a state of calm. Assessment of Insomnia
Causes of InsomniaPoor Mental HealthStress, anxiety, and frustration ultimately have a spiritual origin. Once you overcome all lack of faith and hope, you will be less anxious and exhausted generally in your life. Cultivate gratitude and discover the true source of faith and hope.On a physical level, adaptogens, nervines, and sedatives can help calm the mind such as Ashwagandha, Licorice, Ginseng, Eleuthero.
Irregular / Inappropriate RoutineRoutine is essential for a happy, stable life. You can't control when you fall asleep but you can control when you go to bed. Everyone should establish a routine and and regular time for going to bed.
Imbalanced Blood ChemistryInsomnia is generally associated with dryness and deficiency. Blood chemistry imbalances can disturb the nervous system, predisposing one to feel greater levels of stress, anxiety and nervous overstimulation. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, caffeine, toxins, and other imbalances in blood chemistry can trigger nerve excitability.
Environment
Pain / Sensations / Tension / DiscomfortAre there any physical sensations accompanying night time restlessness? What parts of your body feel tense or activated? Can you feel your pulse strongly in the abdomen, chest, head or anywhere else in your body? The location and nature of these physical sensations will tell you which organs are disturbing your slumber.
Comorbid InsomniaConditions that make one uncomfortable, from skin rashes to respiratory conditions to heart trouble can cause insomnia. These conditions must be dealth with on a case by case basis.
Ayurveda Perspectives on Insomnia
Insomnia is fundamentally associated with high Vata in the Nervous System (Majja). Typically, this is caused by an underlying condition in one of the following patterns
Tips for a Great Sleep Routine
Avoid activities an hour before sleep, especially those that engage the eyes such as reading or watching TV.
Avoid blue light sources the hour before bed. Do not work, read. or watch screens in your bedroom. If your brain associates activity with your sleeping location, you will have a harder time falling asleep. Your bedroom should be a place of rest only/ Go to bed before 10pm. After 10pm energy levels ramp up for nightly organ cleansing and repair activities. This 'second wind' last until 2am. If you are awake during that time, the brain steals the energy and your organs lose their chance to repair. Exercise during the day. Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. Do not do strenuous exercise within 2 hours of bedtime, as this can stimulate your nervous system. Eat a healthy diet and maintain clear bowels. Eat at regular times each day. Avoid eating within 3 hours of bedtime. Avoid large meals before bedtime as they can cause indigestion, making it harder to sleep. Limit Naps: Long daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep, reducing the number of REM cycles. Care During A Night of Insomnia
Having trouble sleeping?
Don't get mad at your body, or become bitter at the world either. Frustration aggravates the liver, which is often the root cause of insomnia. Getting mad just makes insomnia worse. Don't 'try' to go to sleep. Trying to fall asleep makes your nervous system hypersensitive to stimuli. If you can't stop thinking, at least stop thinking about yourself. Instead, use your insomnia to make the world a better place. Pray. Specifically pray for others. Praying for others redirects the focus away from your body and the concerns of the day. Also, a person needs less sleep when focused on spiritual growth. Repetitive prayers focused on a particular subject are more grounding and calming than etheric prayers focused on transcendence or emptying the mind. Often when I (John) can't sleep, I focus on 'softening' points of sensation or pressure I have in my head. I find this helpful. Whatever you do, when you have insomnia, stay in bed. Do not watch TV, use the computer, or do other mentally stimulating or eye straining activities like reading. Keep the lights off. Gentle stretching is okay. In particular, thigh and pelvic muscle stretches are helpful for Vata. Avoid the temptation to get out of bed, read, etc. when you have insomnia. Instead, stay in bed. Most people, if they stay in bed, will get intermittent sleep throughout the night even if they don't realize it. If lying on your back, pull down the buttocks. This will bring the upper sacrum in contact with the mattress instead of the tip of the tail-bone, which is a more relaxing posture. Care After A Night of Insomnia
Poor sleep affects the liver, causing irritability. After a night of poor sleep, sunbathe for at least ten minutes to restore liver strength. Eat liver tonifying foods like coconut oil, applesauce, and blueberries. Applesauce and blueberries will not only tonify the liver, but also gently cleanse it. Foods high beta-carotene such as carrots can also the liver.
Soothe your nervous system and muscles with aromatic herbs like peppermint, lemon balm, and chamomile. Aromatic herbs reduce tension through the system, helping to ward off lack-of-sleep shakiness. Pitta pacifying foods such as cilantro juice and amalaki can also reduce irritability. Gentle twisting stretches can reset the circulatory system and flush the liver, reducing irritability. Generally stretching is supportive. Take a nap in the afternoon during kidney time (3pm-5pm). Oil the skin (Abhyanga). The skin will absorb the oils which will soothe the nervous system. Eat easy to digest food only, such as soups, cooked carrots. General RemediesFor the ElderlyMelatonin can help restore circadian rhythms that are weakened by age. Herbs to improve circulation and protect the nervous system may help, such as Gingko, and Ginseng.For ChildrenCalifornia Poppy, Tincture of Milky Oats, and Chamomile are frequently used in children.Warm Milk Before BedA cup of Poppy Seed Sleepy Time Tea before bed will calm the mind.Boil 1c milk with 1 clove crushed garlic and 1 tsp sesame oil for a nourishing, soporific bedtime drink. A warm glass of milk with a 1/8tsp nutmeg, 1/4tsp Ashwagandha and 1/4tsp Dashamoola will encourage sleep. If milk is too difficult to digest, try almond milk instead. Other Recipes5-10 drops of Bhringaraj Oil on the top of the head helps soothe the mind before sleep.Massage the temples (Shankha Marma Point): Located in the middle of the temple region on each side of the head. Pressing these points can aid in relaxation and sleep. Bibhitaki's warmth and nervine effects rise to the head, creating a relaxing effect. Essential oils for sleep include Lavender, Roman chamomile, Bergamot, Valerian, Sandalwood, Clary Sage, and Ylang Ylang. ARE YOU NEW TO AYURVEDA?

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic, systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you. Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your body type, which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths). It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders. Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder. It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of biocharaceristics (gunas). For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc. This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics. By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies - such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance your healing.

About the Author
John Immel, the founder of Joyful Belly, teaches people how to have a healthy diet and lifestyle with Ayurveda biocharacteristics. His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion. John's creativity in the kitchen and delight in cooking for others comes from his family oriented upbringing. In addition to his certification in Ayurveda, John holds a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University.
John enjoys sharing Ayurveda within the context of his Catholic roots, and finds Ayurveda gives him an opportunity to participate in the healing mission of the Church. Jesus expressed God's love by feeding and healing the sick. That kindness is the fundamental ministry of Ayurveda as well. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his wife and 6 kids, and pursuing his love of theology, philosophy, and language.
