Abstract

It is a state that replenishes our energy reserves that we deplete in our daily routine. Happiness, good health, nourishment/ Emaciation, mental and physical wellbeing depends on Nidra. People that don’t get enough sleep experience many health issues. Hence sleep is essential part of life.
