About this listen

From internationally-celebrated Ayurvedic physician, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar, and the Chief Medical Advisor for the Chopra Foundation, Dr. Sheila Patel, comes a personalized protocol to restore, repair, replenish, and reset your sleep and awaken your pure human potential, based in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.

Between the busyness of our daily lives, and the ever-increasing presence of gadgets, machines, and screens, restorative sleep is hard to come by. One in three adults worldwide suffers from insomnia. So many of us are searching for a good night's sleep, but what does that actually mean and how do we obtain it? Through five combined decades of clinical practice and research, and work with thousands of clients and patients around the world, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar and Dr. Sheila Patel are here to offer a holistic solution to this widespread problem.

Integrating cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, Awakened Sleep will teach you how to create balanced, restorative sleep that can unlock your full human potential. Sleep isn't an obstacle, it's an opportunity - a spiritual activity with the capacity to optimize wellbeing, creativity, performance, and more. We all have the capacity for awakened sleep, which goes beyond physiological rest and relaxation, and this natural state holds the keys to the health of our body, mind, and spirit. Through a blend of Western and Eastern science, Awakened Sleep offers a comprehensive framework for understanding your individual sleep. Awakened Sleep will reveal:

  • the most common culprits that interfere with your natural sleep patterns and cycles
  • the emotional and spiritual aspects that help you tap into good sleep
  • insight into your sleep habits through assessments, meditations, practices, and reflection questions
  • and a variety of sleep protocols and tips, so you can craft your own morning and evening rituals.

No matter what's getting in the way of your sleep, you can make empowered choices that work for you.

Tanzi, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of SUPER BRAIN, Joseph P. and Rose F. Kennedy Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital)

Finally, a book that guides us all to deeper, more rejuvenating but Awakened Sleep - where sleep will become your next spiritual playground (Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, author of seven health books and creator of LifeSpa.com, where Ayurvedic Wisdom Meets Modern Science)

One of the most important, innovative, and detailed books on Ayurveda in recent years.

In Awakened Sleep, Drs. Kshirsagar and Patel bridge ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with cutting-edge sleep science, offering a perspective on restful sleep that's been missing from our conventional approach. (Dr. Michael Breus, PhD, “The Sleep Doctor,” diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine)
