Good sleep Ayurveda daily routine

Getting good sleep: According to Ayurveda a proper sleep between 10 pm to 6 am gives adequate rest to body. Depending upon your body nature, a sleep of 6 to 8 hours every night helps to get good rest. Pitta type of the body need 7-8 hours, Vata about 8 hours and kapha type needs 6-7 hours of sleep. Going to bed by 10 pm is a good practice. Our body restoration and regeneration happen efficiently between 10pm to 2 am. If we go to bed by 10 pm it will support and help body to recover. It helps the pineal gland to produce melatonin hormone that prepares body to sleep.   Getting into bed before 10-15 minutes earlier your bedtime helps to get good deep sleep.  Turn off screen, music, light and keep the room temperature between 65-67F (18-20C)
