A Positive Role of Nidra in Mental Health
The three primary life milestones mentioned in the ancient Ayurvedic texts are Ahara, Nidra, and Brahmacharya of these, Nidra is one that is particularly important to humans. Nidra is an essential component of daily existence. Nidra can create major medical conditions if it is not taken regularly, which can impact both physical and mental health. Many pathological illnesses known as Anidra (primary insomnia) are brought on by a lack of Nidra. It eventually develops into a chronic disorder known as secondary or tertiary insomnia. The Samhitas contain the complete study of Nidra and its classification in classical science.
