Today on the podcast, Brittni and Rita dive into one of Ayurveda's three pillars of health — sleep. This conversation goes far beyond standard sleep advice, exploring why Ayurveda considers sleep so essential for detoxification, cognitive health, and long-term wellbeing, and how the timing of sleep matters just as much as the total hours. They also break down sleep imbalances through the Ayurvedic lens, explaining how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha type sleep issues each look completely different — and how to address each one in a way that actually fits your body and constitution.

Highlights:

• Why Ayurveda considers sleep one of the three pillars of health — and what that actually means for your body overnight
• The glymphatic system and what modern science now confirms about sleep and brain detoxification
• Why the timing of sleep matters — what happens in the body between 10pm and 2am and why going to bed later disrupts more than just your energy
• How Vata, Pitta, and Kapha type sleep imbalances each present differently — and the specific tools and practices that support each one
• Why starting with just one small shift is almost always more effective than overhauling everything at once
