Sleep disorder collectively refers to various conditions that impact the quality and duration of a person’s sleep and by extension their ability to properly function while awake. As an essential function that allows the body and mind to recharge, sleep disorders could trigger other medical problems or be symptomatic of underlying mental Health issues.
Ayurveda considers the three constitutional Doshas – vata, pitta, and kapha – to be responsible for health and wellbeing. The balance of the doshas determine various functions including sleep. According to Ayurveda, sleep is caused by increased kapha and insomnia by increased vata or pitta vitiations owing to physical or mental exertion or disease.
