Yoga for sleep or Yoga Nidra is the key solution to many ailments and health-related issues. For centuries, it has been part of our civilization. However, in the past decade, yoga has picked up great speed and interest. 

There have been many such true instances of yoga curing people of ailments who were struggling with it for many years. For instance, people suffering from diabetes, blood pressure, thyroid, hormonal imbalance, sinuses, and many such ailments practised yoga on a daily basis and cured themselves completely. And, this was without the use of any medicines. Just the right amount of diet and yoga exercises. 

However, in today’s day and age, lack of sleep or disturbed sleep has been a constant worry for many of you. 

“Sleeplessness is a desert without vegetation or inhabitants.”  – Jessamyn West

Sleep is the most important vertical in the health model. We all need Yoga for sound sleep, for hormonal balance, to rejuvenate, to lose weight, recharge our brain, repair and grow our cells and boost immunity.

Sleep is certainly the most important activity for every living being, be it a human or animal. The human body cannot perform its bodily functions without sleep because it is vital for the brain to process and function. Absence of sleep can take your whole immune system for a toss and end up suffering from sleep disorders. When we sleep, our body rests and conserves energy.  Therefore, lack of sleep affects how we perform on a day-to-day basis. 

According to Luke Coutinho, a Holistic Nutritionist, “Sleep Deprivation is the root cause for many inflammatory diseases like cancer, depression, diabetes. The number of hours we sleep does not matter, but the quality of sleep does. Some can have a deep sleep for 5 hours and the others cannot. When we sleep, we reduce the chance of inflammation in our bodies.” 

However, when bedtime comes at the end of the day, you find it hard to slow down your body and mind. Instead, you choose to scroll through social media, or watch television, or adhere to your last-minute emails. Before you know it, you have lost your sleep and it is way past midnight and your circadian rhythms (help to determine your sleep patterns) is way off-balance. Hence, you can no longer sleep properly. 

Do you wake up feeling tired every morning? 

Are you having difficulty to sleep at night? 

Do you often wake up during the night? 

Are you sleeping for less than 7 to 8 hours each night? 

Do you wake up feeling groggy and cranky? 

Doe s Yoga help you fall asleep?

 If most of your answers are a YES, then you know you are suffering from Sleep Deprivation or Sleep Disorder.

Well, you are not alone!

A high percentage of the population is facing the issue of insomnia in modern times. As per a research conducted on Canadians “It is estimated that about 25% of adults are dissatisfied with their sleep, 10% to 15% report symptoms of insomnia associated with daytime consequences, and 6% to10% meet criteria for an insomnia disorder.” 

As per Tjepkema “Nighttime insomnia symptoms increased by 42% over the eight-year period from 2007 to 2015 among Canadians aged 18 or older (from 16.8% in the 2007-to-2009 period to 23.8% in the 2014-to-2015 period).”

Therefore, it is concluded that long-term practice of Yoga exercises by the elderly certainly “improves good sleep quality and less sleep disturbances”. The results are in accordance with various studies on Yoga practiced for six months conducted on 83 elders with an average age of 60 years and above.

Yes, Yoga for sleeping is the best medicine you can give your body.

For many of you, this might be hard to achieve as you have an addiction to prescribed medication for sleep. However, yoga is a holistic method that proves to help, fight, and cure insomnia and abnormal sleep patterns. 

I cannot sleep-Insomnia Causes and Cures

Yoga Nidra and Sleep Science

In recent times, there is proof that Yoga and Sleep have a connection with science. The scientific research proves that sages practice Yoga Nidra  (Nidra = sleep) for better sleep.  

Hence, Yoga is a proven cure for insomnia (lack of sleep) and other mental and health issues of the body, mind, and soul.  

Moreover, several studies and research findings by Johns Hopkins Medicine, USA, show better sleep among patients who participated in an eight-week yoga program as compared to non-yoga practitioners. As a result, they have achieved better sleep cycles. 

Research and Study on Yoga for Sound sleep  

There are multiple studies and research that prove yoga cures sleep deprivation. 

According to an article in Psychology Today, there are a number of studies to prove that yoga is great for improving sleep. Even so,  for those that suffer from insomnia.  

Research 1:

There was a study conducted at Harvard Medical School in the USA on 20 people. They all had different types of insomnia and used yoga as a tool to help them improve their sleep quality. Hence, participants practiced yoga for eight weeks straight, hereby, keeping a tab of how much they slept and how many times they woke up throughout the night.  

They also marked down any other details they could provide of their sleep cycle. However, a record was kept for two weeks before the yoga regime began and for the entire eight-week period of the study.  

As a result, at the end of the study, they saw noticeable improvements in their overall sleeping conditions. 

Research 2: 

Likewise, The Department of Biobehavioral Nursing & Health Systems and Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Washington conducted a study with 13 women who suffered from osteoarthritis.  

This condition caused sleep disturbance. So, all 13 women completed an eight-week yoga program consisting of a weekly 75-minute class and a nightly home practice of 20-minutes. As a result, evening yoga practice is a great treatment option for women with osteoarthritis. 

Research 3:

Similarly, a study by the Department of Pharmacology, Government Medical College in Nagpur, India, proves how yoga enhances the quality of sleep among the elderly. There were 65 volunteers that participated in the study, all were over the age of 60.  

There were 35 people that practiced gentle yoga and 30 that did not. As a result, the yoga group showed overall better sleep quality, including fewer episodes of disturbed sleep, falling asleep faster, using fewer sleep medications, and feeling more rested and energetic in the morning.

5 BENEFITS OF YOGA FOR SLEEP. 

1. Yoga Helps Reduce Stress, Depression, and Anxiety       

Stress and anxiety play a major factor in sleep disorders. Likewise, the same is true for depression, which is why yoga is beneficial for deep relaxation and depression.     

Many times, you might feel the stress is getting to you and you are not able to sleep. You have a number of thoughts flying across your mind. No matter how many sheep you count or listen to soft music, you are unable to sleep. It is difficult to control and clear your mind, to stop the thoughts you want to erase.  

   

Therefore, regular practice of yoga for sleeping comes into play. As a result, alleviating the stress and anxiety levels in your mind. It has the ability to lower cortisol levels and release tension.     

Yoga stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. This will help you to relax in mind and body, resulting in sound sleep.

2. Yoga Renews the Body    

When your body tightens up, you store in high levels of tension in your muscles. Therefore, this is one of the reasons your body accumulates toxins in your organs and tissues.     

The practice of Yoga poses over a period of time helps release these toxins and increases the circulation of oxygen in the body.    

Even so, Pranayama (breathing exercises) replenishes the body and increases the circulation of oxygen. Performing yoga before bedtime will release all the toxins from your body and also allow you to have a sound sleep.  

       

3. Yoga Calms the Mind    

Your mind is in a constant rush of thoughts, feelings, emotions and what not.  Most of your thoughts are either work-related or finances, relationship problems or worrying about the next day. As a result, you overexert your mind to a point that it stops functioning. Hence, you deprive yourself of sleep, you end up staring at empty walls all night.    

Therefore, practicing yoga every day provides you with a sense of calmness, helps you to categorize your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.     

As a result, yoga for sleep is the best way to get some ‘shut-eye’ both physically and mentally. Different yoga poses help to calm your mind and sleep like a baby.    

4. Yoga Eases Muscles and Joint Pain    

After a stressful day at work or driving for long hours or playing a football match or standing for too long, you experience fatigue and tiredness. As a result, there is stiffness in your muscles and pinching pain in your joints.     

Therefore, it is difficult to fall asleep with that much pain. Without easing muscle and joint pain, sleep is not in the books for you.    

Some of you are able to fall asleep after being so tired and on the other hand, for some it is impossible.    

Therefore, Yoga before sleep is a fantastic way to ease muscle and joint pain.      

A major benefit of doing yoga before bedtime is that you can release muscle tension right before your head hits the pillow. 

5. Yoga Improves Breathing

Are you someone who does not own up to snoring?

Do you get teased for snoring by your family and friends?

Well, the reason is that you are not breathing correctly. More specifically, over breathing or fast breathing.
Snoring is often caused by stress, sinus problems, obesity or circulation problems.

(Did you know that? That is new information to me!)

On the other hand, sleep apnea is a common symptom of those who are always nervous or have a lung disorder.
Practicing Yoga breathing techniques can help you with both of these problems. Hence, resulting in sound sleep.

Health expert Luke Coutinho in his recent Instagram post said, “Sleep is everything. It is natural for our cells and life. However, no amount of drugs, caffeine or technology can ever replace what natural sleep and rest can do for our body and mind. We must sleep to heal the mind and body. Sleep is the deepest meditation too. Do not compromise”.
