The term ‘Nidra’ means sleep (SAT-J.3).<ref>Available from http://namstp.ayush.gov.in/#/sat</ref> It is a natural physiological process that occurs in all living beings usually during the nights. It is essential for resting the body and mind after the day-long exertion. Sleep (nidra) is equally essential like food (ahara) and following the path of ultimate reality (brahmacharya). These three are three sub-pillars of life. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 11/35]

When the mind and body are tired, [[kapha]] [[dosha]] and inertia (tamas guna) are increased in the body. In this state, the sensory organs are unable to function. This state leads to sleep (nidra). [Cha. Sa. [[ Sutra Sthana]] 21/35] Inertia (tamas) is the prime factor responsible for sleep (nidra). [Su. Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 4/34]
