Your body is doing way more than snoozing at night Your body is doing way more than snoozing at night, goddess. According to Ayurveda, those sweet nighttime hours are when your tissues repair, your hormones reset, your digestion recalibrates and your ojas (your juicy life-sap) gets replenished.⁠

⁠
When you treat your sleep like the sacred health pillar it is… your future self will literally be glowing with thanks.⁠
