left and right, left and right...you are still awake, no more sheep to count, your partner/friend/roommate is snoring since hours. You know it, right?
Sleep is not a complicated state, when you were active during the day, doing your duty, whatever it is, you will sleep good, once your head will be on the pillow , the brain will switch off automatically. But often, if the day is too busy, too much stress (positive or negative (yes, positive event also causes stress and you are getting overexcited) your mind is starting his play: thinking and thinking about what happen, what could be happen if...or how it will be tomorrow. This is the favourite moment for your mind play. But, whatever your mind is going to do, you still have your duties tomorrow morning, so to sleep good is necessary for you.
You can always help yourself to sleep better.
Some advises maybe you know , it is universal: do not eat heavy food before sleeping. Heavy stomach=heavy mind=nightmares. Swamiji is saying late supper makes the brain work, Probably everybody experienced it. Second is -Sleep in fresh room. My mother teach me to open window for 10 minutes before and after sleeping. In cold season, open for 5 minutes. It is enough to exchange the oxygen and refresh the room to make it pure and cool. Remember the rule "warm feet, cool head". Cover proper your body, except of the head. Swami Sivananda, in his book "Health and hygiene", is saying it is unhygienic to cover the head because you will inhale the foul air exhaled by the lungs.
Hi is advising as well to sleep on the left side to make Pingala work efficiently and digest the food (remember about it when you have a baby and you are choosing on which site she/he should sleep ). Avoid the nap during the day (only if your day is very active) .
Other helpers are: massage, Kirtan and Japa. It makes deep and sound sleep.
Do not go to sleep too late if it is not necessary. You have one body, which works for you every single moment, take care of it as it desserves.
Om Tat Sat
