Call :
Insomnia, also known as sleeplessness, is a sleep disorder where people have trouble sleeping. They may have difficulty falling asleep, or staying asleep for as long as desired. Insomnia is typically followed by daytime sleepiness, low energy, irritability, and a depressed mood. It may result in an increased risk of motor vehicle collisions, as well as problems focusing and learning. Insomnia can be short term, lasting for days or weeks, or long term, lasting more than a month. The concept of the word insomnia has two possibilities: insomnia disorder and insomnia symptoms, and many abstracts of randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews often underreport on which of these two possibilities the word insomnia refers to. Insomnia can occur independently or as a result of another problem. Conditions that can result in insomnia include psychological stress, chronic pain, heart failure, hyperthyroidism, heartburn, restless leg syndrome, menopause, certain medications, and drugs such as caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
Reasons For Insomnia, As Per Ayurveda:-
In Ayurveda, insomnia is termed as ”Anidra” or “Nidranasha” and is caused by a specific imbalance in the three doshas:
Tarpaka Kapha:
It is an auxiliary dosha of Kapha and its job is to nourish the cells of the brain, resulting in a restful night’s sleep. When this dosha is not in balance the brain cells go unnourished, causing insomnia.
Prana Vayu:
This is a supplemental Vata dosha it creates a sensitive nervous system, and this, together with an aggravated Prana Vayu, causes insomnia. It is also linked to depression, anxiety and worrying.
Sadhaka Pitta:
It refers to a crucial Pitta dosha found in the heart. It controls all of our emotions, spirituality, decisiveness and desires. Any imbalance creates problems with resting functions in the body, leading to insomnia.
