The role of Nidra in maintenance of health has been well recognized by scholars of Ayurveda. It is one among the triupstambha (three sub-pillars) along with Aahar(diet) and Brahmcharya(celicbacy\/ control over indriya). Ahara, Nidra and Brahmchrya are interdependent on each other as the quality of diet influences the sleep and vice \u2013versa. For example intake of Kapha vardhak Aahar induces sleep while Vata vardhak Aahar causes Vata vriddhi that leads to less sleep. Similarly the time of sleep, duration of sleep may produce disturbance of digestion and metabolism. Few scholars of Ayurveda have considered the brahmacharya as celibacy or control over sexual activity. However Chakrapani has described the meaning of word Brahmacharya as Indryia sayam i.e. control over the sensory and motor organs. The control over the Indriya prevents the connection of Indriya with the objects or actions which are harmful to the body. By achieving the control over the Indriya the optimal health and real knowledge can be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Proper sleep at night is very essential to restore the physiology of the body. It is advised not to suppress the natural urge of sleep otherwise it will give rise to physiological disturbance leading to disorders.<\/p>\n<p>\u0924\u094d\u0930\u092f \u0909\u092a\u0938\u094d\u0924\u092e\u094d\u092d\u093e \u0907\u0924\u093f- \u0906\u0939\u093e\u0930\u0903, \u0938\u094d\u0935\u092a\u094d\u0928\u094b, \u092c\u094d\u0930\u0939\u094d\u092e\u091a\u0930\u094d\u092f\u092e\u093f\u0924\u093f I (C.Su.11\/35)<\/p>\n<p>\u092c\u094d\u0930\u0939\u094d\u092e\u091a\u0930\u094d\u092f\u0936\u092c\u094d\u0926\u0947\u0928 \u0907\u0928\u094d\u0926\u094d\u0930\u093f\u092f\u0938\u0902\u092f\u092e\u0938\u094c\u092e\u0928\u0938\u094d\u092f\u092a\u094d\u0930\u092d\u0943\u0924\u092f\u094b \u092c\u094d\u0930\u0939\u094d\u092e\u091c\u094d\u091e\u093e\u0928\u093e\u0928\u0941\u0917\u0941\u0923\u093e \u0917\u0943\u0939\u094d\u092f\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0947| Chakrapani commentary<\/p>\n<p>\u0928 \u0935\u0947\u0917\u093e\u0928\u094d \u0927\u093e\u0930\u092f\u0947\u0926\u094d\u0927\u0940\u092e\u093e\u091e\u094d\u091c\u093e\u0924\u093e\u0928\u094d &#8212;- \u0928 \u0928\u093f\u0926\u094d\u0930\u093e\u092f\u093e \u0928\u093f\u0903\u0936\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0938\u0938\u094d\u092f \u0936\u094d\u0930\u092e\u0947\u0923 \u091a||(C.su.7\/4)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mechanism of generation of sleep: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When the body, Indriya(sensory &amp; motor organs) and mind\u00a0 get fatigued, they do not get connected with their respective stimulus or motor activity, then there is\u00a0 generation of sleep.
