Loss of sleep is a deep issue that people ignore until it is in its worst stage. Insomnia is a condition where you have difficulty sleeping, difficulty staying asleep, or cause you to wake up often in the middle of sleep and are unable to return to sleep.
You may feel tired when you are awake due to sleeplessness. A sleeping disorder can suck up your energy level and impact your overall health, state of mind, work life, and personal life.
At some point in life, we all experience sleeplessness or short-term insomnia, which lasts for days or weeks. It’s maybe the result of sudden stress or a traumatic event. But some people have long-term insomnia that lasts for a month, year, or more.
Insomnia itself can be the primary problem, or it may be associated with other medical conditions or medications.
Some symptoms of Sleeplessness
Difficulty falling asleep Waking up between sleep Waking up too early Not feeling relaxed after a night’s sleep Tiredness and sleepy whole day Irritability, depression, or anxiety Difficulty focusing on tasks or memorizing Increased mistakes or accidents Persistent concerns about sleep
Insomnia is recognized as Anidra meaning the absence of sleep and Alpanidratha meaning broken sleep in ayurveda. Anidra or absence of rest is identified with a Vatha-predominant condition and Alpanidratha is a Pitha-predominant condition caused by Pitha humor vitiation.
A proper sleeping pattern is vital for the maintenance of rejuvenation, the ultimate factor for sustaining physical and mental health. Anidratha and Alpanidratha are two clinical conditions. Anidratha or Alpanidratha are considered symptoms rather than a disease and are treated accordingly.
The Ayurvedic treatment for insomnia recommends the use of diet, lifestyle changes, and the use of herbal remedies.
