Abstract

Sleep plays a key role in the survival of a human being. Sleep deprivation has more negative effects on the quality of life of an individual than food deprivation. More than 1/3rd of a human’s life is spent in sleeping. Sleep is one of the 13 Adharaniya Vegas,[1] i.e., the urges that should not be controlled. Sleep is also one the Trayopasthambhas according to Ayurveda[2] i.e., the three pillars of life. Sleeplessness has been mentioned as a symptom in multiple diseases.
