Sleeping during daytime is contraindicated in the seasons other than summer because it causes vitiation of ''kapha'' and ''pitta''. Persons having excessive fat, those who are addicted to fatty substances, having plenty of ''kapha'', suffering from vitiated ''kapha'' related disorders, and those afflicted by latent poisons should never sleep during daytime. If one violated the given advice of sleeping during the day, he would subject himself to ''halimaka'' (advance stage of jaundice), headache, cold, heaviness of body parts, malaise, loss of digestive power, ''hridyopalepa'' (a feeling as if phlegm adhered to the heart), edema, anorexia, nausea, rhinitis, hemicranias, urticarial patches, pustules, boils, itching, drowsiness, coughing, disorders of the throat, impairment of memory and intelligence, obstruction of the body channels, fever, incapability of sensory and motor systems and enhancement of the toxic effects of poisons. So, one should keep in view the merits and demerits of sleep in various seasons and situations to stay happy and live long [44-49]
