Welcome back to the Anxiety Slayer Podcast. I'm Shan Vanderbilt here with my good friend and co-host Ananga Severe. This month our focus is on Restful nights, a podcast series dedicated to improving your sleep using

ancient wisdom and modern insights. And today we're going to be exploring

Ayurvedic principles that can help you achieve better sleep.

Welcome back, Ananga. Hi Shen. It's good to be with you for another week of the podcast talking about sleep and the and how we can get a better

night sleep and just really focusing on this because we hear so often from our listeners that they struggle getting to sleep,

Yeah, and it's such a preoccupying thing, isn't it? When you have to get up in the morning and face a day of work or a day of

travel or commitments and you know you haven't had enough sleep, you know you haven't had good quality rest.

And you've got to try and do the things you need to do when you might feel in a depleted state, maybe it's affecting

your concentration, certainly it can increase our anxiety because we haven't had that grounded

rest and if it goes on for a period of time really starts to

affect our well-being. So this week's really about exploring our

and what we can do to help ourselves have more rest.

So it's kind of a discovery episode this week

where we're gonna be looking into some interesting information.

And the more you know about your Dosha and understand your Dosha,

the quicker you're going to be able to enjoy a good night's sleep.

And that's pretty neat, I think.
