Do you often wake up feeling tired even after a full night's sleep? You’re not alone. Many of us blame stress, poor diet, or long work hours for fatigue — but we often overlook the one thing that sets the tone for the next day : our evening routine.
Let’s dive into how simple evening choices affect our energy, mood and health — and how small changes can make a big difference.
1. Screen Time Before Bed
📱 Using your phone, tablet, or TV late at night might feel relaxing, but the blue light emitted from screens interferes with melatonin — the hormone responsible for sleep. This can delay deep sleep and leave you feeling groggy the next day.
What to do instead :
Try reading a physical book, journaling or just resting your eyes quietly for a few minutes before sleeping.
2. Caffeine in the Evening
☕ Many people enjoy a warm chai or coffee after dinner, but caffeine stimulates your nervous system and can interfere with your natural sleep rhythm — even if you fall asleep, your sleep quality may be compromised.
What to do instead :
Switch to warm water, caffeine-free herbal infusions like Chamomile or just warm milk.
3. Late Dinners
🍽️ Eating a heavy or late dinner can delay digestion and make it uncomfortable to fall asleep. Your body is forced to work overnight instead of resting, which may lead to low energy in the morning.
What to do instead :
Try to eat at least 2–3 hours before bedtime. Include lighter meals like khichdi, dal-rice or Steam Vegetables.
You can also support digestion by incorporating Triphala (Amla, Harad, Baheda) into your routine — known in Ayurveda to support gut health naturally.
4. No Wind-Down Time
💤 Jumping straight into bed without calming your body or mind can lead to a restless night. Stress carried from the day needs to be gently released.
Try this :
-
A few minutes of deep breathing
-
Gentle stretching
-
Listening to calming music
-
Journaling your thoughts
5. Unstructured Sleep Schedule
🕒 Going to bed at different times each night confuses your body clock. A fixed routine signals your brain to wind down at the right time.
What to do :
Try to sleep and wake up around the same time — even on weekends — for better energy levels.
