Episode 9: Sleep, Success & the Subtle Body—The Nightly Rituals of Grounded Leaders
Sleep, Success & the Subtle Body—The Nightly Rituals of Grounded Leaders
Sleep isn’t just rest—it’s leadership hygiene. In this episode of The Grounded Leader, host Sweta Vikram unpacks why insomnia is more than a personal struggle—it’s a leadership crisis.
Drawing from both Ayurvedic wisdom and modern science, we explore how poor sleep depletes ojas (your vitality), disrupts your subtle body, and derails your ability to make wise, grounded decisions. You’ll learn why high-achievers are especially vulnerable to vata imbalances that keep the mind racing at night—and how nightly rituals can help restore balance, clarity, and resilience.
🌿 Inside this episode:
- The hidden leadership cost of poor sleep.
- How Ayurveda views sleep as one of the three pillars of life.
- Why “tired but wired” nights signal a deeper imbalance.
- Five grounding rituals leaders can adopt tonight to improve sleep and performance.
Because the world doesn’t need more sleep-deprived leaders running on fumes. It needs rested, intuitive, and radiant ones.
