World Sleep Day Friday 17 March 2017

Anandi The Sleep Guru

The key to getting long term results and total relief from insomnia is the custom-tailored Ayurvedic approach

World Sleep Day takes place on Friday 17 March 2017 and Anandi the Sleep Guru is sharing her top tips to help others achieve a good night’s sleep. Anandi has been helping people conquer their insomnia for the past five years with her very own Ayurvedic approach and ‘Personal Sleep Review'.

Ayurveda is a natural health therapy which originated from ancient India and uses a variety of different exercises to help maintain balance.

After 15 years of fighting her own insomnia, Anandi has written her first book called ‘Breathe Better, Sleep Better’. The book has many useful tips and exercises to help overcome insomnia and irregular sleeping patterns. Anandi explains, “The key to getting long term results and total relief from insomnia is the custom-tailored Ayurvedic approach.”

Anandi’s top tips to improve a night’s sleep are to:

• Avoid caffeine and alcohol
• Lengthen and deepen the breath, which calms the mind
• Go to bed early and avoid technology for at least one hour before going to bed
• A busy mind is never going to sleep well – a daily ritual that nurtures the soul is vital for relaxed slumber
• Enjoy a diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables
• Turn the lighting down in the evening
• Avoid heavy conversations before bed time
• Keep your bedroom tidy and free of clutter
• Aim for a minimum of seven hours of solid sleep per night.

More helpful tips and exercises can be found in Anandi’s book and on her website. The book offers many practical tools which can help detox the digestive system, calm the nervous system and stimulate the circulatory system.

Anandi’s new book focuses on how to use the breath as a tool to get a great night’s sleep. Breathe Better, Sleep Better explains the benefits that can come from good breathing technique, such as an improvement of mental and emotional well-being, a calmer mind and lower blood pressure.

Breathe Better, Sleep Better is now available on Amazon and on Anandi’s website.
