Ayurveda describes sleep as a basic instinct of life, essential to all living beings. We need it to rejuvenate and reenergize our body, mind, and spirit.
In Ayurveda, sleep is one of the three pillars of good health, known as nidra. Then there’s food (ahara) and sex (brahmacarya).
The right balance of these three elements is required for a healthy life.
