The incidence of sleep disturbance is very common in all age groups irrespective of caste, community, race, socio-economic status and sex etc. which might be related to the life style, environmental influence, mental tension, changed food habits and day to day stress. These ultimately disturb the psychoneuro-biological rhythm of sleep broadly discussed under sleep disorders. Nidra is one among the primary tripod of life1.
