Brief Summary: In Modern medicine sedative and tranquilizer drugs are used to induce sleep in insomnia patients but later in time they lead to dependence (Tripathi, 2018). Administration of insomnia, so far, isnâ€™t up to the mark since solutions accessible for sleep deprivation are sleep inducing instead of treating the fundamental cause. Benzodiazepines are strong sleep actuating agents commonly utilized for insomnia has a few unfavorable drug impacts such as drug dependence, temperament disorders, and GIT disorders and in some cases depression. Numerous non- pharmacological cures such as cognitive behavioral therapy are moreover utilized to overcome the adverse drug impacts of insomnia but shockingly incidences are expanding day by day (Pagel, Parnes, 2001)

In such a scenario there is need for the efficient management of insomnia in a natural way.

The reported capacity of yoga to diminish arousal recommends that it may well be an effective insomnia treatment. This recommendation is strengthened if the dispute that yoga techniques can be utilized as custom-made medications for particular disorders is genuine (Anand, 1991). Ayurveda treats AnidrÃ¤ by both abhyantar and bÃ¤hya cikitsÃ¤. Hence this study was selected, not only to make an impact that holistic approach of Yoga and Ayurveda both can not only cure insomnia but also can alleviate the stress which has become the new normal in todayâ€™s era. Also, by curing insomnia and reducing stress levels with the alternative therapy, it will make a huge difference in the quality of life.
