Astrological Remedies for Better Sleep

Sleep is more than rest — it’s a healing process. In today’s fast-moving life, many of us lie awake at night, staring at the ceiling, wondering why peaceful sleep feels so far away. But what if the planets are affecting your sleep? In Vedic astrology, the planetary placements and energies directly influence our mental state, which plays a big role in our sleep patterns. If you’re curious to understand this better, you can start learning with India’s trusted astrology school, the Asttrolok Institute, founded by Mr. Alok Khandelwal.

How Astrology Affects Your Sleep

According to Vedic astrology, sleep issues are mostly connected to the Moon, Mercury, and Saturn. These planets affect our mind, emotions, and nervous system. When they are disturbed in a birth chart, a person may face anxiety, overthinking, nightmares, or insomnia.

✔ Moon controls emotions. A weak Moon causes emotional unrest and sleeplessness.

✔ Mercury affects thinking. An imbalanced Mercury leads to racing thoughts.

✔ Saturn causes worry and overwork. If Saturn is heavy in your chart, you might find it hard to rest.

But don’t worry — you don’t need to be an astrologer to fix this. Some simple remedies can align your energies and bring calmness back into your life.

1. Moon Healing Through Routine and Mantra

The Moon represents the mind. To balance it, your night routine matters.

✔ Take a warm bath before bed to calm the nervous system.

✔ Drink warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or nutmeg.

✔ Chant "Om Chandraya Namah" 108 times daily, preferably before sleeping.

✔ Place white flowers near your bed to bring peace and soothing vibes.

Bonus Tip: Avoid using your phone or watching news late at night — these disturb the Moon energy even more.

2. Mercury: Calm the Mind with Writing and Chanting

Mercury rules communication and thinking. If your mind is too busy to rest, Mercury may be out of balance.

✔ Write down your thoughts or worries before bed. This empties your mind.

✔ Listen to calming instrumental music (like flute or sitar) in the evening.

✔ Chant "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" — this mantra stabilizes thought waves.

3. Saturn: Relieve Pressure from Your Mind

When Saturn is dominant, it often creates sleep problems due to overwork or stress.

✔ Avoid heavy or serious conversations after sunset.

✔ Light a sesame oil lamp near your bedside (safely) or in your puja room.

✔ Do light stretching or 5 minutes of Pranayama (deep breathing).

✔ Chant "Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah" every Saturday.

4. Sleep-Friendly Space as per Vastu & Astrology

Your sleeping space plays a big role too. Try these easy adjustments:

✔ Sleep with your head in the south direction.

✔ Use soft, pastel colours in your bedroom (like light blue or white).

✔ Avoid mirrors facing your bed — they reflect energy and can disturb sleep.

✔ Keep a bowl of water near your bed and empty it in the morning. This absorbs negative energy.

5. Follow a Fixed Daily Routine

Astrology says that a routine aligned with the natural flow of planets brings peace.

✔ Sleep and wake up at the same time every day — yes, even on weekends!

✔ Avoid caffeine or heavy food after 7 PM.

✔ Try listening to Gayatri Mantra or soothing bhajans before bedtime.
