Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda & Alternative Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Sleep is a behavioural state that is a natural part of every individual’s life. Problem sleepiness may be associated with difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, loss of energy, fatigue, lethargy, and emotional instability. Sleep-related problems affect millions of people in all walks of life. They have a major impact on society, yet we still don’t have a good understanding of exactly why we sleep or what causes sleep disorders. We do, however, know that sleep is vital to our well-being, and is closely linked with serious health and mood problems such as high blood pressure, obesity, and depression. The prevalence of problem sleepiness is high and has serious consequences, such as drowsy driving or workplace accidents and errors. Lifestyle factors and undiagnosed or untreated sleep disorders can cause problem sleepiness. Lifestyle factors include not getting enough sleep, having an irregular sleep schedule, and using alcohol or certain medications. In this study importance of sleep is explained along with status of Doshas, age, day time and night time demarcation and need of sleep according to age and dream pattern relates with the sleep as per Ayurveda.
