DUBAI: In honor of World Sleep Day on March 15, a spa in Dubai is offering a chance for people to experience the benefits of Nidra Sleep Therapy.

At Taj Exotica Resort and Spa, resident Ayurvedic expert Dr. Arun Aravind will bring insights into the ancient practice of Ayurveda and its application in promoting restful sleep.

In a recent discussion, Aravind said the quality of sleep is especially important during the month of Ramadan.

He explained: “Disturbed sleep pattern during Ramadan is not a physiological condition, it is a planned change in daily routine. Bringing in gradual changes prior to the start of Ramadan month is crucial in ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing inconveniences resulting from a change in sleep pattern.”

Aravind also highlighted the role of spa therapies, such as Nidra Therapy, in promoting better sleep patterns during this sacred month.

“Because stress is often a factor in disturbed sleep patterns,” he said. “It is imperative that we reduce our exposure to stress wherever possible. Ayurveda recommends several subtle practices like meditation, pranayama, and yoga as effective means of breaking this pattern, resetting the nervous system, and cultivating a healthier physiological response to stress.”

Aravind added that following a wholesome diet and incorporating Ayurvedic herbs as prescribed by a physician can enhance the quality of sleep.

He emphasized the importance of maintaining a regular routine for sleep and meal timings to reset the circadian rhythm and promote deep, restful sleep.

To coincide with World Sleep Day, J Wellness Circle at Taj Exotica Resort and Spa will offer a special 120-minute Nidra Sleep Therapy for Two at a rate of ¥70,362 yen (or AED 1,750).

This signature therapeutic experience is designed to heal the body and enhance sleep quality, incorporating a pre-therapy steam ritual, a full-body relaxing massage, and a post-therapy relaxation lounge experience.
