Abstract

Ayurveda is a traditional medical practice that emphasizes a variety of non-pharmacological approaches to ward off illness and maintain good health. Achara Rasayana, Pathya Apathy on Ahara and Vihara in accordance with certain ailments, Dharaneeya and Adharaneeya Vega are a few of the significant regimens. Others are Dinacharya, Ratricharya, Ritucharya, Sadvritta, and dharaneeya and Adharaneeya Vega. The biological (including psychic) functions of the body provide natural desires that change the system's balance. Some of them are essentially physiological, while others are defense mechanisms. The suppression of natural Vega is the primary cause of all ailments, according to the classical Ayurvedic literature. It shouldn't be inhibited as a result. However, some still use it to suppress Vegas. There are 13 natural Vegas according to Ayurveda, none of which should be kept. They can cause a number of health issues if they are regularly suppressed for whatever reason. In addition, Suppression of Nidra (sleep) is one of these 13 Vegas. Nidra (sleep) suppression shouldn't be kept as a practice, either. Nidra control may cause problems. Modern science recognizes the value of sleep due to its restorative, recuperative, and regenerating effects on living things. The symptoms of insomnia brought on by shift work sleep disorder (S.W.S.D.) are linked to gastrointestinal illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and immunology disorder. In this article, an attempt is made to explain the various effects of Nidra Vega Dharana mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. Ayurveda acharyas have long recognized the negative effects of night awakening in the context of Adharniya Vegas, which causes drowsiness, headaches, heaviness in the eyes, etc.
