Do you remember waking up in the morning feeling grumpy about what someone said to you the previous day or tossing and turning in bed restlessly through the night worrying about an upcoming deadline in work? How does the quality of sleep impact the quality of our waking lives? I am sure most people would like to declutter their mind and turn off their brain before going to bed to relax deeply through a satisfying undisturbed sleep and start the next day full of vitality and vigor. People try many things like switching off electronics or listening to good music or writing a journal to help them unwind for the day before hitting bed to get a peaceful rest. Some people just work extremely hard all through the day and by the time it is night they are exhausted enough that they naturally fall asleep easily though we don’t know about their quality of sleep.
One does wonder what impacts one’s quality of sleep and how a person can consciously begin his day fully recharged on a bright note repeatedly all through a year without things happening by chance? During the pandemic people have been exploring various natural ideas to stay in good mental shape and gain a more restful sleep like spending more time outdoors and taking a warm water bath just before going to bed. Sleeping well is a very fundamental need for all of us to function at our best physically and mentally. Many of us may relate to being out of sorts on a particular day after a disturbed sleep while being exuberant after a restful sleep. It may play a significant role in both our productivity at work and satisfying interpersonal interactions with family and friends.
It would be interesting to explore what are some tips we can learn to enhance our quality of sleep more systematically from a deeper understanding of the human system. Listen to Sadhguru shed more light on this topic from a deeper understanding of the yogic sciences. It is educational and also a good wakeup call for the listener to handle this aspect of life more consciously.
