True Yoga is Simple: 13 Steps to Deepen Your Home Practice by Olga Yumasheva - HTML preview

The night is a creative time for me. I like

writing or making music; some great ideas

come up during the night. So, what I try to do

is pull myself to bed early, and then if I wake

up after 4 and start doing things, it’s okay.

Sometimes I go back to bed after a while and

sleep until 7, sometimes I wake up at 5 and

stay awake for the whole day. But since I’ve

slept from 10 to 2 (and a bit more))), I don’t

feel broken in the morning.

ESTABLISHING a PATTERN

When the question concerns sleep, people

often say that they’re too old and no longer

flexible to change something in their lifestyle.

They can stick to a prescribed timing when

they take sleeping pills, but can’t change the

time they go to bed.

Well, luckily, I learned about the healthy

sleeping patterns young enough and don’t

have to invent excuses for not doing the right

thing. And, since I was in India at that time,

establishing a new regime went smoothly for

me.
