Sleep Isn’t Optional—It’s Essential

We push through late nights, sacrifice sleep for productivity, and act like rest is a luxury. It’s not. Poor sleep isn’t just about feeling tired—it affects the body at a deeper level. Dry eyes? Digestive issues? Ayurveda connects these symptoms to a simple truth: when the body’s natural rhythms are disrupted, imbalance follows. Staying up past 10 PM, living off screen time, ignoring fatigue—these habits weaken Agni (your digestive fire), strain the nervous system, and dry out vital tissues (dhatus).
