Sleeplessness is a big problem today. Bad dreams, anxiety and the unexplainable steals a good night’s sleep. Here are few things that a person
can do to get a good night sleep as per Hinduism.
- Follow Dharma – Do not do things to others that you will not do to yourself.
- Be content and happy with what you have.
- Offer prayers to Ganesha and Hanuman daily. They can remove the biggest of obstacles in life.
- Apply tilak on the right foot of Hanuman and then take some and apply on your forehead. This will keep all negative forces out.
- Take some mustard oil and sindhoor, mix them to form a paste. Apply on the front door of the house and in the room in which you sleep. This will keep all negative energy out of the house.
- If possible, chant Hanuman Chalisa daily before going to bed.
- If not possible to chant the entire Hanuman Chalisa then chant this line. Teaching children this line is highly benefitial. “भूत- पिशाच निकट नहीं आवे। महाबीर जब नाम सुनावे।”
- Read a scripture you like before going to sleep.
- Sleep in a room that has good air passage.
- Wake up early in the morning before sunrise.
