Feeling tired even after a good night's sleep can result from several factors, such as sleep quality, frequent interruptions, high stress, and health conditions like anemia or thyroid issues. Ayurveda broadens this perspective, also considering digestion (Agni), daily routine, and dosha balance. Researchers highlight that sleep duration does not guarantee restorative rest. Persistent fatigue is seen as a sign of dosha imbalance, which can be aggravated by poor nutrition and irregular lifestyle.

The research suggests that dysregulation of Agni (digestion) and alteration of the doshas, especially Kapha, are closely linked to the development of diabetes. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the Ayurvedic approach can offer valuable insights for diabetes management, considering factors such as diet and lifestyle.
