Ayurveda has put forward the concept of 3 supporting pillars of life. These are called as 3 upastambhas. It is stated that, strength, immunity, complexion and growth of any individual is dependent on well-regulated support of 3 factors namely Ahara (food), nidra (sleep) and observance of bramhacharya (celibacy/control of senses) (Cha. Su. 11/35). These are called supports or pillars of one’s [[Ayu (आयुः)|Ayu]] or life. Thus, Nidra plays integral role in one’s health and wellness.

These are called supports or pillars of one’s [[Ayu (आयुः)|Ayu]] or life.   <blockquote>त्रय उपस्तम्भा इति- आहारः, स्वप्नो, ब्रह्मचर्यमिति; एभिस्त्रिभिर्युक्तियुक्तैरुपस्तब्धमुपस्तम्भैः शरीरं बलवर्णोपचयोपचितमनुवर्तते यावदायुःसंस्कारात् संस्कारमहितमनुपसेवमानस्य, य इहैवोपदेक्ष्यते॥ (Char Samh 11.35)<ref name=":0">Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyayam 11 Sutram 35)</ref></blockquote><blockquote>traya upastambhā iti- āhāraḥ, svapno, brahmacaryamiti; ebhistribhiryuktiyuktairupastabdhamupastambhaiḥ śarīraṁ balavarṇopacayopacitamanuvartate yāvadāyuḥsaṁskārāt saṁskāramahitamanupasevamānasya, ya ihaivopadekṣyate॥ (Char Samh 11.35)<ref name=":0" /></blockquote>Meaning: Three supporting pillars of life: Ahara (food), nidra (sleep) and observance of bramhacharya ( celibacy/control of senses). By the wisdom of well regulated support of these three pillars one can get body with strength, good complexion and proper growth and this continues throughout life, provided person does not get involved in regimens which are detrimental for health, these are discussed in this chapter.<ref>Charaka samhita online (Sutra Sthanasutra  Chapter 11.The Three Desires of Life and important triads sutram 35)</ref>

 

Thus, Nidra plays integral role in one’s health and wellness and therefore it is regarded as one of the 3 supports of life.
