local time." This may not be ideal if you're jet-lagged and on an altered sleep schedule, but it's still worth keeping in mind. "In this regard, we are influenced by the pitta dosha from 10 p.m. As we move around the world, we are subject to the laws of nature of each new location," says Seymour. (Need proof? He, one of those lucky short sleepers who hit the genetic lottery, gets by just fine on five hours of sleep per night, while I can't function on less than seven.) It's also location dependent, meaning that if you're traveling, you should aim to tuck yourself in before 10 at the local time, not based on your usual bedtime. "The most important thing is to wake up naturally and feeling revitalized," says Seymour, who adds that everyone's ideal sleep duration is different. Your wake-up hour isn't thought to effect how energized you feel in the morning-unless, of course, you rise before your body's gotten enough rest. It's worth noting that the Ayurvedic body clock sleep-optimizing concept only holds true for bedtime. One very small study backs up this idea, having found that later bedtimes are linked with an increase in obsessive, negative thoughts.
"So if you go to bed just before kapha time changes, between 9:30 and 10, then you go into sleep with that influence of rest and stability, and that influences the quality of your sleep." Once pitta time hits at 10, however, the mind is thought to become more active, and it's harder to settle, potentially leading to sleep disruption. "The mind is slower during kapha time," Seymour says.
With this in mind, practitioners of Ayurveda recommend going to bed before kapha time ends at 10 p.m., no matter your own predominant dosha. "The mind is slower during kapha time, so if you go to bed just before kapha time changes, between 9:30 and 10, you go into sleep with that influence of rest and stability, and that influences the quality of your sleep." -Daniel Seymour, Ayurvedic practioner
and p.m.) and vata time is from 2 to 6 (a.m. and p.m.) pitta time is from 10 to 2 (a.m. Most people have a dominant dosha that affects their physical and mental state in the long-term, but different doshas are also believed to be more active within us at different times of day, which dictates the Ayurvedic body clock. If you dont know about your prakriti (mind & body Constitution), try waking up daily between 6:30 to 7 am (best for all). In super-simple terms, vata is airy and intellectual, pitta is fiery and action-oriented, and kapha is earthy and grounded. According to ayurveda teachings, the digestive fire, or Agni (see note), is no longer very strong because we are currently in the Kapha phase. However, what matters most is that you awaken naturally. See, according to Ayurvedic wisdom, every person is made up of three energy signatures, or doshas. The best time to wake up is one hour before the sun rises, or between 4:00 and 6:00 in the morning. is a simple hack that can result in higher-quality sleep, working in accordance with the Ayurvedic body clock. Seymour told me during a consultation that turning in between 9:30 and 10 p.m. Later than this, is Pita time and during this period there is a lot of work happening inside the body and heat is increased, which makes it more difficult to sleep.I did so at the advice of Daniel Seymour, Rosewood Mayakoba's resident Ayurvedic practitioner. According to Ayurveda, sleeping at night should be done by latest 10pm when the Kapha time ends. The body naturally knows this, but if we are not following a lifestyle that is in sync with nature's cycles, then of course, it is difficult to wake up at such time. This is also a good time to study and learn because the mind is able to retain the information the best. When the mind is pure and away from any external distractions, then this silence and steadiness helps with our spiritual practice.
For example, Vata types should get up before 6:30 a.m., while Pitta types can benefit. As one fundamental aspect of Ayurveda is to sync our lifestyle with nature, during this time, nature is also the most calm and quiet.Īs the mind is the most tranquil during this time and less likely to get distracted, this is the best time for the spiritual seeker to meditate, to pray, to practice japa meditation, asana, pranayama or to do any spiritual practice which brings them closer/connects them to the Divine essence. It is also important to adapt the wake-up time to your own constitution. Meditating is an important part of this morning routine and if you were going to make time for just one thing on this list, it would be this. According to Ayurveda, during Brahma Muhurta the mind is most settled. Pitta: 16 cooling breaths curl up your tongue lengthwise and breathing through it.
