Abstract

Chronic insomnia (Anidra) significantly impacts quality of life, leading to various health complications. Conventional treatments often come with side effects, prompting the exploration of complementary and alternative therapies. Savasana, a Yogic relaxation technique, is known for its calming effects and potential to improve sleep. Savasana has been shown to have significant emotional benefits. By reducing stress and anxiety, Savasana helps individuals develop a greater sense of emotional resilience. This can help address insomnia that is rooted in emotional distress, such as depression or anxiety. Savasana, therefore, not only helps with the physical aspect of sleep but also addresses the emotional triggers that contribute to insomnia. This study investigates the efficacy of Savasana in managing Anidra, particularly chronic insomnia.
