Sleep in Ayurveda is considered one of the three pillars of life (*Trayopastambha*). Quality sleep is when the body undertakes deep cellular repair and emotional rejuvenation.

### 1. Disconnect 1 Hour Before Bed
Turn off artificial blue lights. Dim ambient lighting to signal your circadian rhythm that it is time for rest.

### 2. Padabhyanga (Foot Massage)
Massaging the soles of your feet with warm Herbal Oil grounds erratic *Vata* energy, calms an overactive nervous system, and induces deep, restorative slumber.

### 3. Calming Night Facial Massage
Take 3-4 drops of Kumkumadi Night Oil and gently press it into your face using upward circular strokes. Inhale the grounding aroma of saffron and sandalwood.

### 4. Herbal Sleep Infusion
Sip a warm cup of spiced milk or chamomile tea with a pinch of nutmeg to relax tense muscles.
