Sleepy Time - A Paleo Ayurvedic Look At Sleep

Topics

• The song of the day is Enter Sandman by Metallica and can be found here: https://amzn.to/2pM9g1k
• Tim tells a story from the past weekend
• Real Ayurveda’s look at getting sleep
• Sleep induces the good Kapha qualities and the much needed Tamas qualities
• Contrary to what commodity Ayurveda and Yoga say, Tamas is good
• Without proper Tamas you cannot fall asleep, you cannot pause, you cannot exist in human form
• Sattva is about balance, Rajas is about activity and Tamas is about resilience
• You need all three (Sattva, Rajas and Tamas) in order to thrive
• If you do not have resilience, you do not have energy to withstand anything
• It’s not only about the amount of sleep you get, it is also about the quality of sleep you get
• Kapha is what prepares you for sleep
• There are two main Kapha times in the day, the 4hrs (ish) following sunrise and the 4hrs (ish) following sunset
• If you work shifts other than the regular day shift, you do NOT have to quit your job in order to get good sleep
• You need to prepare yourself for sleep because you must have energy to go to sleep
• If your nervous system is too depleted you cannot get good sleep and you end up in a vicious cycle of sleep deprivation without knowing you are in it
• The Rain App that we talk about is this one: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rain-rain-sleep-sounds/id478687481
• It’s ok to change your sleeping schedule if you have to, instead of just fighting to go to sleep at a certain time when it’s not feasible
• Changing your body temperature drastically during the day and/or evening will help you get great sleep
• Hot Yoga has a lot of great benefits and solid sleep is one of them
• If you do not have access to great hot yoga, a hot Epsom salt bath can help

• During a session of sleep you must achieve both the REM state and the NREM state in order to feel inspired and refreshed
• Oil application on the feet may work for some but it has not worked for us; it is too high maintenance
• The vaseline movie reference Tim is making is from the 1996 Striptease with Burt Reynolds
• The dance movie reference Tim is making is from the 1983 Risky Business with Tom Cruise
• The internal nourishment of the body should take priority over the external nourishment
• Make sure that your actions and words during the day will allow you to "go to sleep at night"
• What do you want your last thought to be before falling asleep?
