Ayurveda refers to insomnia as Anidra.
Insomnia is the trouble in falling or staying asleep. Insomnia can be acute or chronic:
Acute lasts for a short time of about one day to some weeks. Chronic is long term insomnia that lasts for three months in which at least three nights a week are affected.
The treatment mainly includes restoring the balance of the affected doshas and boosting the nervous system. Lifestyle management and exercise are also needed, along with the herbal treatments to treat the condition.
