== निद्रा उत्पत्तिः॥ Utpatti of Nidra ==
Acharya Sushruta has stated that, Nidra originates from maya of devata Vishnu (विष्णुः). Thus, nidra is said to be Vaishnavi (वैष्णवी).<ref>Sushruta Samhita ([https://niimh.nic.in/ebooks/esushruta/?mod=read&h=vaiShNav Sharirasthanam Adhyayam 4 Sutram 33])</ref> As per Hindu tradition, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are the 3 devatas (देवताः) which represent the 3 dimensions of cosmic energy, creation, sustenance and destruction respectively. In this, Vishnu devata sustains the creation and represents the eternal principle of preservation. Thus, with respect to the human body, Vaishnavi Nidra is said to be the one that sustains life and helps in energy preservation. Therefore while evaluating the energy dynamics of human body Ayurveda lays high emphasis on sleep disturbances of the individual.

=== Factors responsible to induce sleep ===
<blockquote>निवृत्तिः पुष्टिकराणां, पुष्टिःस्वप्नकराणाम्...| (Cha.Su 25.40)<ref>Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthanam Adhyaya 25 Sutram 40)</ref></blockquote>Acharya charaka, in Charaka samhita has clearly explained the association of ones mental status with the sleep. It is noted that, relaxation and retirement from the stress leads to pushti i.e. nourishment and that in turn helps in induction of sleep. Thus it is frequently seen that those who are stressed excessively and can not stop thinking about a certain stressful thought (can not get detached), face disturbances in sleep.
