Insomnia is often the result of an overactive nervous system. Stress, irregular routines, excessive screen exposure, or even late-night meals can keep the body in a state of alertness when it should be winding down.

Insomnia often begins as a temporary imbalance. When addressed early, especially in its acute phase, it can be reversed with simple, consistent cues. Left unaddressed, it can evolve into a pattern that feels harder to break.

Sleep is one of the most crucial pillars of good health, yet many struggle to get enough. There are various reasons you might stay awake through the night, from an endless loop of thoughts to physical discomfort. A natural and widely used practice called acupressure could help. 

Medical conditions can significantly contribute to insomnia, often creating a cycle of poor sleep and worsened symptoms. Understanding the connection between these conditions and insomnia is crucial for addressing sleep challenges effectively.

The science behind Ayurveda can aid in reestablishing equilibrium, decreasing stress and anxiety, enhancing digestion, normalising hormone levels, and altering behaviours that may contribute to poor sleep.

While treatment options vary for Insomnia, simple yet consistent lifestyle changes can create a solid foundation for better sleep, going a long way in the treatment of insomnia.
