Sleep is one of the three essential pillars of health in Ayurveda. When we stay up late at night and do not get proper sleep, our digestion, metabolism, and immunity are affected. Over time, these imbalances create strain on the digestive system and may result in painful anorectal disorders such as piles, fissures, and fistulas.
🌙 How Sleeping Late Affects the Body
- Constipation Increases – Staying awake late disrupts the natural rhythm of the body. This often leads to constipation, a major cause of piles and fissures.
- Weakens Digestive Fire (Agni) – Late sleeping reduces digestion power, leading to indigestion, bloating, and formation of toxins (Ama).
- Stress on the Mind and Body – Late nights increase stress and mental fatigue, disturbing bowel regularity.
- Delayed Healing – During sleep, the body repairs tissues. Lack of sleep delays healing and makes fissures and fistulas more painful.
🩺 Ayurvedic Perspective
According to Ayurveda, staying awake late at night aggravates Vata Dosha, which causes dryness, irregular digestion, and strain in the anal region. This imbalance leads to Arsha (piles), Parikartika (fissure), and Bhagandara (fistula).
