PITTA Cycle II. (10:00 pm - 2:00 am)

At this time comes the deepest and most refreshing sleep. If we are awake, the desire for the evening meal comes. A long night's wakefulness disrupts the regeneration process and makes the morning sleepy. For a good sleep, Ayurveda recommends sleeping on the right side.

 There's also a time Dr Savaliya suggests should be a cut-off for any more food - 7.30pm.

"If you stop eating at seven to 7.30pm, and sleep early, it allows your digestive fire to digest everything you've eaten throughout the day," said Dr Savaliya.
 "Hunger is a sign that your previous meal is digested well," said Dr Savaliya.
By not eating late at night, the expert says it can facilitate "optimum liver detox".

Following this guidance, Dr Savaliya said it can help you to "maintain your weight, sugar levels, energy and, most importantly, your body's capacity to absorb nutrition from the food you eat".
[Dr Savaliya is adamant that the "best time to sleep is by 10pm" as that's when your metabolism is "at its peak".
Multi-tasking increases excess cortisol (stress hormone) in the body which makes you more prone to auto-immune and lifestyle disorders," the doctor cautioned.

"Doing one thing at a time mindfully improves your working efficacy, reduces stress and also makes you feel more content and peaceful at the end of day."
Hema Sharath: Exercising more than one's capacity can exhaust you," said Dr Savaliya.

There is a risk of "bleeding disorders, dyspnoea, cough, fever, excessive thirst and even vomiting", if you overstretch your capabilities.

"Moderation is the key," Dr Savaliya confirmed, adding that exercise is still important for a healthy lifestyle.

~ Manimahesh, Himachal Pradesh 

Manimahesh Lake (also known as Dal Lake) is situated in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, in the Bharmour subdivision of Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. Nestled at an elevation of 4,080 meters, it is considered only second in significance to the Lake Mansarovar in Tibet. Manimahesh literally means "Shiva's jewels". According to a local legend, on a full moon night, one can see the reflection of this jewel in the magnificent lake.

Most of the year, it remains closed due to the snow. To reach the lake, one has to trek a distance of 13 km through enchanting mountains and greenery. Shaped like a saucer, the Lake is divided into two main parts - the larger part is the Shiv Katori (the bathing place of Lord Shiva), and the lower part is called Gauri Kund (the bathing place for Goddess Parvati).

The mighty Lake is situated in proximity to the virgin peak of Manimahesh Kailash Parbat, which is considered to be the holy abode of Lord Shiva. It is said that he created both the landforms as his marital home with Goddess Parvati, and he is believed to be residing here still. There is even a marble image dedicated to the Lord in the periphery that is also called Chaumukha.
